MORE RAILROAD TROUBLE
Workers on Irish Lines DiSCon-
tented and Talking Strike.
ENGLAND MAY BE DRAWN IN
Employers Contend That Recent
British Cancellation Scheme
Does Not Apply to Them.
[By Cable to The Tribune ]

London. Nov. 3O.-More trouble APP
pears to be brewing in the railway
world, and though Ireland is the seat
of the unrest IT is highly probable that
the English roads will become involved
If an open conflict develops. The dis
pute is over the Cancellation scheme
which representatives Of the men ac-
cepted in the settlement Of the August,
1912, strike, and by which they entered
into a bargain with the railway COM
panies to keep peace for three years.
Already trouble ha- arisen, and, ac-
cording to ]. II. Thomas, NJ. F., secre-
tarv of the Amalg mated Society or
Railway Servants, is rapidly develop
ing into serious proportions. He insists
that there is danger Of another strike.
AS far as the English companies are
concerned both sides seem pretty well
satisfied with the working Of the
scheme, but the Irish companies, the
men allege, have not carried out their
obligations. The men state that the
Irish companies have declined TO adopt
the Cancellation scheme and persist in
their refusal. The companies contend
that they are not parties to the settle
ment. which appli, only to the Eng
lish roads, but the workers hold that
fundamental part OF the agreement
was that all the companies accept.
Mr.. Thomas states that when the
settlement was arrived at the question
as to the attitude of the government
in event of any company refusing to
accept the findings of the royal COM
mission was definitely put to the Prime
Minister, and Mr.. Asquith then stated
that if necessary legislative action
would follow. The men say that In
these circumstances but two courses
are open, one for the men to enforce
their demand on behalf of their Irish
fellow r.embers; the other for the gov
eminent to carry out its pledge and
compel the Irish companies by law to
fall into line.
The men are already threatening 10
cease work, and Mr.. Thomas has no
hesitation in saying that the English
railway men will not hesitate 10 take
a stand TO see that the Irish railway
men are protected. I'VE have eX-
hausted," he says, every means open
TO us short Of a strike"

Ribarich had painted many Of his
