GREAT labor
CRISIS ENDING
Trade Inionists Of London in
Celebration.
CRACKED HEADS in DUBLIN.


London. The railway men
throughout the kingdom are returns
Ing to work, and It is hoped within
. few days to have the great transit
systems working under normal com
ditions. Following the announce
ment Saturday night that the rail-
way managers and their employees
had agreed to permit q commission
to settle their difiiculties came the
reassuring news tonight that there
was great hope Of ending the dock
orB' strike at Liverpool, and that the
workers there shortly would resume
their duties.
No riotfng as a result of labor
troubles was reported Sunday ex-
cept at Dublin where the police and
constables came In collision with a
mob which was in sympathy with
striking newsboys who were en-
deavorfng to prevent the distribution
OF newspapers. Numerous persons
had their heads cracked in the
melee, and several shops were looted.
4 The railway workers held meet
ings throughout the country Sunday
to celebrate what they claimed to be
q victory over the railway companies.
With the exception of about 1000
men Of the Northeastern Railway
Company, which was not a party to-
| the strike settlement agreement, and
1000 Manchester men all the unions
passed resolutions in favor of re-.
sumption Of work
The Northeastern Company's en-
ployes demand an eight-hour day and
two-shilling weekly advance in
wages with minimum weekly wage
Of 30 shillings. about $3.50.
Although the services on the other
lines have not yet been completely
restored the men In most cases pre-
scented themselves for duty Sunday
and start was made toward remedy
Ing the dislocation caused by the
strike. During the day some prog
ress was made in clearing the lines
pf freight trains, but it will be some
days before normal conditions are
restored.
Unfortunately, because Of the
block in the telegraph lines, the
manifesto of the strike leaders call
Ing upon the men to return to work
did not reach some points until this
morning, and during the night there
were disturbances at numerous
places. With the exception Of
Llanelly, Wales, however, there were
no serious riots

Mexican rurales are now proceed

feared by the State Department that
when the Mexican soldiers arrive on
the scene to clear out the disturbers,
some of the latter may seek refuge
in the United States and commit
depredations on American soil. For
that reason Secretary Knox appealed
to the War Department to send to
