 NATURE OF COMPROMISE

London, Oct. (By the A. PO.-W1th dramatic suddenness in the quiet of the London Sunday afternoon it was announced to a knot of people Wa1t1ng g in Downing street that the great rail- way strike. which appeared to nave brought the country almost to the brink of revolution, was settled, ana that the strikers would resume work as quickly as possible.
 The terms of the settlement are in the nature of a compromise. The Na- tional Union of Railwaymen agrees to call off the strike and the government consents to a renewal of the negotia- tions, the continuance of the existing wage scale for another year, instead of six months, as previously offered, and the establishment of a minimum wage of 51 shillings while the cost of living is 110 per cent. above the pre-war level.
 The settlement was the result of a long conference today between trade union delega tion including representa- tives of the railwaymen's union and Premier Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law in the famous conference room in Downing street. Prior to this there was a cabinet meeting.
 It is conceded on all sides that the settlement is thesoutcome of the mod crate but determined efforts of the executive of the Transport Workers Federation and men like Arthur Hen derson and John Robert Clynes who throughout have set their ia ceS stea d. ily against the idea of a sympathetic strike until every possible avenue of mediation had been explored
