Foster to Appear Before Congressional
Committee Today---Lloyd- George and
British Strikers to Have Further Con-
ference This Morning.
National Union
Seek Audience
With Premier

London. Oct 2-fThursday)---
Premier Lloyd George and a commit
tee of tho striking railway mems lead
ers conferred until one O'Clock this
morning, without however. reaching
Il decision.
Another conference will be held
early this morning.
James Henry Thomas, secretary or
the National Union of Isailwaymen,
made this statement a. he emerged
from the conference room:
we have come togct her again.
The duty of both sides uow is to see
that we do not byeak away until we
have made settlement"
1t is believed great progress has
been made toward ending the strike
There was a perceptihle weakening
in the hitherto adamant attitude OF
labor tonight when the executives
committee of the national union of
railway fastened TO Downing street In
quest OF an audience with Premier
Lloyd George. following the opening
of pourparlers by leaders of the
transport workers who had been
closeted with the premier for four
hours in the afternoon, debating the
strike question.
Mr.. Lloyd George agreed to the re-
quest of the transport workers that he
see the rail mems leaders with a. view
to re~opening negotiations, but he
emphaticaliy stipulated that the
strikers must return to work before
O. settlement can be discussed.
The rail leaders eager acceptance
OF the conference was viewed as the
beginning of the end Of the Mig
strike.
The Central News understands that
the conference will undoubtedly re-
suit in the resumption Of negotiations
and that 1t virtually means the strike
is ended.
The railway men. evidently fright
ened by the hostility OF public opinion
and the resitancy shown by allied
unions to ojin in n sympathetic
strike to tie UP Britain completely,
grasped the chance Of pourpariers
with the premier and this is regarded
as the first breach in the strike front
which, IL present indications are not
deceiving should lead To IT'S entire
collapse before the end of the week.
