 Improved

London, Oct. 4.-Efforts of trade unionist mediators to find some means for bringing the government and lead CTS of the national union of railway men together have not bee nabatGu in spite of the breach in negotiations. Fourteen chosen delegates met this forenoon at the headquarters of the transport workers federation to for mulate further proposals. It is eX- pected they will approach Premier Lloyd George on Monday and then lay their propositions before the trades congress on Tuesday.
 The cabinet meets early this fore noon at the residence of the premier to discuss the strike situation. There were many conjectures among the people whether King George who will arrive here this evening will be likely to invoke his authority and reassem- l. ble parliament in view9of the threat ening aspect of the situation. This suggestion meets with all around ap proval in labor circles where 1t is con- sidered that public discussion would alleviate the crisis.
 The government in it's noon com muniQue reported: ~
 Improvement in the transport SlLuauon inc statement read.
 Plans are actively in prepara tion to meet the situation caused by refusal of strike leaders to accept arbitration. The railroad services are still grow ing. Freight trains are increasing in number The food situation is un- changed. The trains are we'll dis tributed and are more plentiful than on the first day of the strike. The re- sponse to the call for volunteers show the public determination"

STEEL WORKERS TELL
 0F HIGH WAGES
Continued from First Page)

When the strike was called, Davies said he and other workmen who sought to get into the mills at New Castle were attacked by pickets at the gates.
 They whipped the city police, they whipped the county police," Davies said, and beat men trying to go to work. There were 500 foreigners around the mill gates, and until re- turned soldiers took charge of the situation there was continuous fight ing''
 Davies said his own earnings were $17 a day as a roller. He added that he was a Y. M. C. A. worker in France during the war.
 Davies told the committee that when mill employees had grievances they could appeal to the foreman and if dissatisfied could go to the super intendent. He related several in stances where individuals and com mittees from the working forces had secured adjustment.
 II don't know of a labor union which has anything to offer us," said Davies. Most of them have been mem berS of union.
 "A union man is in danger of being called out whenever any agitator gets infamed with Bolshevism and has no redress against it.
 Chairman Kenyon asked him if he had seen any evidence of Bolshevism in the strike.
 "You'Ve developed the doctrine among them right here" he said. 'This talk about committees the ter rorism and intimidation the condi- tionS at New Castle after they licked the police were due to wrong educa- tion, the inf1aming of these men is Bolshevism at the crest"
 Don't you think the manufacturers, the steel employers have some re- sponsibilty in the situation," asked Chairman Kenyon.
 Sure they have" was the reply" And the government should join with them, get the men of the country, shoot them if necessary"
 Davies discussed the union leaders.
 They won't fight back the rabid element or the mob spirit" he as serted "for fear Of losing their pobs."
 Joseph Smith, another roller from Homestead. Pa, said he made s22 to SPA a day Strikers at Homestead, he said, want 8 hours and $8 a day"
 "There has been an active cam paign to get union members" he said. They didn't let Americans in
