I4ouQuH, aug l9.--AH muck 10 the
extreme gravity of the labor upheaval
throughout the country may be found
in the unusual measures that have
been taken by the government to meet
an unusual situation.
Two conferences were held today III
the offices of Premier Asquith in
Downing street, and the premier was
able to secure the views of some of
the most influential representatives Of
the big industries such as shipping
cotton, coal and railways, and also OF
all the important heads of trades
unions and other institutions repre-
senting the workmen.
During the afternoon there also was
a conference in session at the Board
of Trade between the lockers strike
committee and officials of the Board
of Trade, while Sydney Buxton. the
president of the board, has invited all
the representatives of the railway
companies and of the railway employ
ers to meet him tomorrow with view
10 adjusting their difficulties.
That Intervention by the government
with a view TO ameliorating conditions
has not come about too soon is to be
seen In the fact that the Amalagamated
Society of Railway Servants tonight,
despite the agreement entered into with
the railway companies in 1907. decided
10 call a general railway strike through
out the country and gave the companies
q hours in which to decide whether they
were willing to meet the men and ne
gotiate for adjustment of their griev-
ances. This is the reply of the men
10 the decision reached by the railway
managers Monday night to refuse all
concessions to their employees
The situation has become so serious
that already there is talk of Parliament
prolonging its session in order TO pass
special legislation dealing with Industrial
problems.
At the Board of Trade the announce
ment OF the intention of the railway
men TO strike came as a complete sur
prise The temper of the railway en-
ployes and the managers of the lines is
RISING, and the utmost tact will be re-
qiired to secure a settlement of the
matters in dispute.
King George is taking keen interest
in the situation and today his seere-
tary, Lord Knolles. called at the pre-
miers Offices TO discuss the situation
with Mr. Asquith
So acute has the situation become in
Liverpool that there are rumors that
martial law viii be declared there.
Hundreds of special eonstables already
have been sworn in and the prospect is
that there will be complete stoppage
of trade. which will be followed by a
jump TO famine prices fer the neees-
SarieS of life.
Manchester is suffering from about
the same conditions as prevail in LiV-
erpool, except that there has been no
rioting. 1t is estimated that $1,000 cart
ers and railway men are out on strike
there tonight. The city is practically
cut off from outside rail communica-
ton A large number of other towns
became affected by the railway mems
strike today. while in this city the
lockers troubles are still acute.
