Byron Too Theatrical.

In its review of recent work by
the Italian critic, Emilio Cecchi, on
English poets of the Nineteenth CEN
fury, the London Telegraph says:
"On the topic of the most famous
controversy between European and
British criticism-the greatness of By
ron-Professor Cecchi takes very de-
cidedIy the British view, if indeed he
is not carried SO far by his repug-
nance to the abundant alloy IL By
ron's poetry, as in his life, as to make
too little of the demoniac force which
renders his anarchy impressive. Even
that last expedition to Greece, which
has commonly been felt to redeem
many alterations, has for our critic
the fatal touch of the theater which
the man and the poet so rarely es-
capped; and he compares him, much
to his disadvantage, with that Genoese
gentleman who rushed to embark with
Garibaldps thousand in evening dress
and crush hat, and in this accouter-
ment went to his death at Calatafimi-
a De-Mussetlike figure, luminous with
It's trusting smile, but touched with a
purer spirit of religiosity than Byron
could have achieved or understood"

ENGLISH RAIL men |
AGREE TO RETURN .
Strike Ends by Compromise Set
tIement Between Premier
aid Union Officials.
WAGES STABLE FOR YEAR
Victory Is Claimed BY Both Factions
Minimum Wage VIII Be Lower
Than Demanded-Back
Pay Is Granted.

London,-The strike of British
railwaymen, that has kept 100000
EMPLOYEES idle for more than week
and stopped the work of many thou
sands in other industries, came to an
end with dramatic suddenness. Elm
ployes Of all classes returned to WORK
and the other sympathetic walkouts,
which were to have begun, are in
definitely postponed.
After an eleventh-hour conference
between Premier Lloyd George and
members of his cabinet, representing
the employer government on the one
hand, and the executive committee of
the National Union of Railwaymen
and a mediating delegation composed
of representatives of various trade
unions on the other, compromise
was effected.
The dispute over wages resulted in
an extension of the period in which
present levels would be stabilized and
the establishment of minimum wage
lower than that asked by the strlk-
ers. The question of Standardization
of wages on scale to apply to all the
railroads in the country, settlement or
which has been urged by the railway
men for the last year, was left open
to negotiation, with the understanding
an agreement would be reached by
Christmas.
The previous government wages Of
fer, described as "defnltive," provid-
ed for the sterilization of wages at
their present level until December 81
of this year. as the minister of labor
had insisted the present scale, which,
including war bonuses, averages near
ly $50 per cent above pre-war levels,
could not be maintained beyond that
date Under the terms of the settle
ment "wages in the United Kingdom
will be stabilized at their present
level until September 80, 1920"
The government forced q reduction
of the railwaymens demands for a
minimum wage Of 60 to 81 shillings.
which it was agreed would be paid
hereafter to every adult worker.
In addition the government agreed
TO pay the arrears OF wages Va slIlh-
ers which early last week were order
ed withheld because the men left their
posts without warning. 1t was agreed
that the return of the strikers would
not affect the workers who operated
the trains during the crises.
The end of the strike came when
the public had almost given up all
hope of peaceful settlement. Now
that the crisis is past, both sides adj
NIT that England has literally been
pulled back from the verge of civil
war.
Following the breakdown of nego-
tiations, thousands of citizen guards"
had been enrolled to maintain order
in the crisis. Thirty-five hundred had
enlisted in London, two thousand In
Liverpool, one thousand in Manches-
ter, and 1t was reported the govern
ment had planned to have $4,000 "un-
der brassards" the day when the call
ing of general strike was feared.

Paris.-Advices received from Rome

that such a ratification will be valid

treaty does not involve any Italian

 The action o1 the carmen has added considerably to the number of men on the idle list, but, aside from the inconvenience caused by the stoppage of the car service and other interruptions of less seri- ous character, the business of the city is moving along much as usual.

SEATTLE RADICAL
 FREED BY JURORS

SEATTLE, June 5.-In the opinion of the jurors selected to try James Bruce, Seattle radical, who was charged with criminal an- archy as a result of his activities during the late shipyard strike, the doctrines of the Industrial Work CTS of th- World are not anarch- istic.
 At the conclusion of the trial Of Bruce, the jurors were instructed to return a verdict of guilty if they considered l. W. W. doctrines anarchistic, and they promptly re- turned a verdict of not guilty.
 Counsel for Bruce contended that the views held by their client were shared by President Wilson on questions concerning the re- lationship of capital and labor, as expounded in the Presidents book, "The New Freedom" and the jur- ors evidently were convinced that the Industrials are not the menace to society which the prosecution sought to prove.
