WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. - After
further sharp criticism by the Repub-

treaty.

there had been any filibuster on the
treaty and said there would be none

SITUATION MUCH
IMPROVED TODAY
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Sept 30.-Congestion in
railroad traffic caused by the strike
called on Friday is expected to be re-
lieved today by the running of an in
creased number of trains. Volunteer
workmen are reported coming forward
to run the trains and the government
has invited citizens to act as special
constables in emergency.
Attempts to derail trains occurred
yesterday for the first time since the
strike began and two trains were
stoned near Aberdeen. Minor Incl
dents are reported at various other
places.
Government officials have issued
regulations providing for price fixing
and restricting the consumption Of
staple foods. Motor lorr1es are bring
ing milk and foodstuffs into the city
and a system of distributing has been
worked out by the cabinet. Posses
sion of all the transport machinery
used during the war makes the gov
ernments task easier than had been
expected.
Employment of troops to protect
railroad property is being resented by
strikers at some places apparently
through the fear that the soldiers may
