BRITISH STRIKES ENDED
Masters and Men Discuss En-
ployers' Latest Move.

London. Sept. 26.-The announce
ment that all the strikes in Great Brit
ain had beeen settled yesterday was
followed by much discussion both
among employers and workpeople re-
garding the formation Of United
Kingdom Employers Defence Union to
consolidate the resources Of the en-
ployers and maintain the right TO bar
gain either with the trade unions or
with free workers. Opinion on the sub
Jet is not unanimous on either side.
Many employers believe the pro-
motors are right in anticipating that
the guarantee fund Of s25O.OO0,0OO Will
greatly strengthen the position Of the
employers involved in the strikes.
Others. however. doubt the wisdom and
Usefulness Of the proposal. There is
general agreement that the leaders Of
the movement should make it perfectly
clear that they are not undertaking any
attack on what is understood by the
phrase Legitimate trade unionism."
Some Of the workers representatives
clearly regard the formation of the
union as new challenge to organized
labor, while others are in favor Of the
most thorough organization Of both
employers and employed.

silence throughout the whole affair.
Accused of nothing. his wife being the
plaintiff and a friend the defendant. IL
is thought there is little that he could
say without taking sides In such man
ner as TO make the situation still moro
unpleasant for all concerned.
George Gordon Battle. Mrs. Blake's
attorney. had nothing 10 say last night
other than that the matter was at rest
for the present. He would not admit
or deny that further proceedings were
to be taken looking to separation be-
tween Dr. and Mrs. Blake.
No one in New York. so far as could
be learned. had heard anything from
Clarence II. Mackay excepting. prob
ably. his lawyers. since his fight last
June. Whether the Mackay children
were with him or were under the care
OF tutors was not known outside his
immediate circle of friends. but ii was
believed that they were with him in
London. II was the impression mere
that ne would not let them get far
from mis- sight until circumstances were
different.
II Mrs. Mackay brings suit for di-
vorce I'm Maine on the ground Of deser-
ton there may be lively controversy

three children, two girls and boy,

At the Harbor Hill estate, IN Long

be felt No one there knew anything,
not even when the trains ran. But
there was no Mackay, male or female.
