BRITAIN'S BIG STRIKE ENDS
Official Statement Is Given Out in
London-GigantIc Terrorist
Plot Falls.

London, Feb, 1.-THE strike is
ended, All subway lines have resumed
service"
This official statement, coupled with
the announcement that 5000 striking
walters are ready to report for work,
rings the death knell Of the "red men
ace" in Britain and means the frustra-
ion of a gigantic terrorist plot to
paralyze international industry in
Britain, the whole of Europe, and the
United States preliminary to uni
versal revolution.
This at least was the opinion of the
international students Of labor. The
British governments firm attitude
smashed the world dramas first act
before the curtain was wholly raised.

WASHINGTON, Aus. 2i.-"There is

in the price Of mems collars. The

operatives and the overhead expense OF
production have not increased 300 per
cent. Without a doubt, therefore. col
lar manufacturers are squeezing out OF
the business Of making and selling col
lars all the traffic will stand"
There statements were made yester-
day by Representative Siegel, Of New
York, who has offerd a resolution call
ing upon the Federal Trade Commission
10 investigate this extraordinary. and
apparently unwarranted, increase in the
price OF mems neckwear. The House
interstate and foreign commerce com
mittee Is now considering the resolu-
tion, and Mr.. Siegel has word from
Chairman Esch, Of the committee, that
the matter will be handled without de-
lay.
Mr.. Slegel said he has been unable
10 get any inside information about de-
tails Of collar manufacture. and so is
forced 10 seek the information needed
10 enact regulatory price laws through

Organized on a positive basis, the
Wilmington Community Service IS one
organization in the city that has al

Harold Keats. the executive director,
has surrounded himself with an able
and efficient staff Of experts in the
various angles OF recreational and civic
or community work. To read what
the service has accomplished mot
what Il promises TO do in the near fu-
ture-is like reading Of the way our
boys went over the top in the recent
world war. The Wilmington Commun-
ity Service appears 10 be interested in
securing results-and in securing these
results as soon as possible. Its work
among the colored people. alone, has
made IL appear TO the general public
as a doing organization rather than one
which has had printed a supply OF
letter hcads-and then forgotten TO
function.
A strong committee OF representative
Wilmington men and women has been

Monday. It was shown that II the trafllc
regulations had been obeyed the acci-
dent could not have ACQUIRED. But in
the absence OF a traffic signal there was
nothing TO prevent the driver who was
convicted from believing that no could
cut the corner, though tho law eX-
pressly says he shall not.
Within the last month a child has
been knocked down and two cars have
colllded at This corner. Traffic signals,
OF course, are not the panacea for all
motoring dangers. but a signal at this
corner would undoubtedly have the ef-
feet OF causing motorists 10 slow down
before reaching the crossing. Those de-
string 10 turn n corner would find II
impossible TO sweep around a signal at
the same rate Of speed used now In
turning this corner.
or course, If some one Is Killed at this
corner next week. the traffic signal
probably will be put up Immediately.
But citizens who believe In safeguard
ing lives before such an accident occurs,
are Of the opinion that the time TO put
up a signal is now.
