PLAN DRASTIC ACTION
Trades Union Leaders Are Contem-
plating Proceedings to Deal With
Revolutionary Move Leading
to Unauthorized Walkouts.

London, Feb. Sit is unofficially
stated that satisfactory settlement
of the London railway dispute has
been reached. 1t is said the settle
ment includes the tubes and all Lon.
don railway systems.
The Union of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen issued notices ending the
strike.
Londoners have not known another
week so demoralizing to business since
the air raid week in September, 1917,
when there was a bombardment of
the city almost every night. The
trouble has been due to strikes by
railroad workers.
Many thousands of commuters, de-
pending on the Southwestern and
Brighton railroads to get them to
town, arrived at their stations to find
there were no trains. The people
soon gave up hope of reaching the
city and finally returned home.
Government Steps Into Gap.
Several other local stoppages In
transit were reported. In Southwest
ern England most of the people were
kept away from work by an extension
of the strike. The government
stepped into the gap, using several
hundred motor lorries to convey
workers from outskirts of London
giving them free rides to their bust
| ness places.
The cabinet was In session and Sir
Albert III. Stanley, president OF the
Board of Trade, conferred with the
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen's
associations at the Board of Trade.
A statement was made on behalf oi
the cabinet saying the government
stood by its policy of non-interferencs
