LONDON. Sept. 23.-The strike OF tie
Welsh railroad men is seriously imperii-
ling the coal supplies OF the British navy,
OF the south Wales munitions factories
and OF the ocean transports now waiting
to 20 TO sea. Practically all the men of
the South Wales and Monmouthshire
railways are on strike, the strikers re-
fusing to accept the settlement recently
agreed upon and providing for an in
crease OF $3.50 weekly as a war bonus.
They demand the full amount asked for.
The leaders OF the men agreed to ac-
cept half Of the amount asked. with
promises OF future raises based on the
Increased cost OF living. Many branches
Of the unions agreed TO accept the Gov
ernments offer under protest. demand
ing that the matter be dealt with by
specially convened conference but a
small number OF men employed on the
railroads which carry steam coal to the
naval vessels refused to accept the
award. The strike then spread sympa-
thetically until practically every railway
employee in south Wales is now idle. re-
sulting In closing down many mines and
factories. Twelve thousand miners have
already been forced to quit work
The union leaders are making strenu-
Gus efforts to induce the men to return
TO work. and will declare the strike un-
official and refuse to pay strike claims.
The strikers contend that under the
award the men receive less than the
equivalent in purchasing value OF pre-
war days, when the pay averaged S6.75
weekly. Now, they say, while the in
crease would give them $3.50 weekly the
cost OF living has risen 116 per cent.
They say they have to work longer and
harder and also that they have difficulty
in obtaining sufficient food to keep up
their strength
