SEVEN-DAY TRUCE
REJECTED BY UNION
Britain's Efforts to End Rail-
way Strike Prove
Futile.
CABINET HOLDS Meeting
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. october ALI efforts to
bridge the chasm between the govern
ment and the National Union of Rail-
waymen so far have broken down.
The union has refused to consider a
proposition Of Premier Lloyd George
for seven-day truce for the
adjustment of matters. and a con-
gress of all the trades unions in
here Tuesday to consider the situa-
ton which has arisen out of the great
railroad strike.
Never in the history Of the British
empire have the people faced a more
grave labor crisis. Latest develop
ments in the controversy seem to in
dicate the government and the ma
tional union have settled down to a
protracted struggle. The government
has appealed to the people to form
a citizens army" to aid in the work
of maintaining the food supply to
the country, while union leaders who
have been in conference here have
started for big labor centers through
out the British Isles to engage in a
vigorous campaign.
Vehicle Workers Await Conference.
Pending the outcome of Tuesdays
meeting of all trade unions in Great
Britain, the executive committee of
the Vehicle Workers Federation will
not call strike of bus, tram and taxi
drivers.
An ofncial of one Of the largest rail-
roads in England states that from IS
to 20 per cent Of the trains normally
operated are running. Another road
claims that 40 per cent are in opera
tion. This strengthens the opinion
that the strike will not be decided on
the food question. considering the ef.
hciency of the lorry system for col
lection and distribution. Railroad Of
ficials believe sufficient coal can be
moved to keep the railroad power
plants in operation on an emergency
basis.
Efforts Of trade unionist mediators
to find some means for bringing the
government and leaders of the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen together
have not been abated in spite of the
breach in negotiations. Fourteen
chosen delegates met this forenoon at
the headquarters of the Transport
Workers Federation for the purpose
of formulating further proposals.
It is expected they will approach
Premier Lloyd George on Monday and
then place their propositions before
the trades congress. to be held Tues
day.
Cabinet Discusses Situation.
The cabinet met early this forenoon
at the residence of Premier Lloyd
George to discuss the strike situation
There were many conjectures among
the people whether King George. who
will arrive in London this evening.
will be likely to invoke his authority
and re-assemble parliament, in view
of the threatening aspect of the situa-
tion. This suggestion meets with all
around approval in labor circles,
where it Is considered that public
discussion would alleviate the crisis.
All special deputies were ordered to
report Immediately at headquarters
by the police commissioner this morn

Situation Regarded as Crave.

The gravity Of the situation. II is
declared, is not appreciated by the
general public. Should the officials Of
the big power corporation fail to
reach an agreement with the union
men operating their power plants
who are demanding an Increased
wage scale and other conditions the
natural assumption would be that these
men would walk out to enforce their
demands. AS a result every street
