R. R. STRIKE in
ENGLAND CALLED:
MANY RESPOND
Some Full Trains Are Aban-
doned; Passengers Guard
Baggage

London. Sept. 81. - Dispatches
from the provinces arriving in Lon
don since midnight indicate that the
call for the railway strike has been
generally responded to, although in
some centers with reluctance.
The Manchester railwaymen, as an
instance, are said to be strongly op-
posed to the movement, while a ma
jority of the men at Crewe, the great
railway junction southeast of Liver
pool, also are reported to be averse
TO striking.
On the other hand it is reported
that in many of the big centers,
such as Birmingham. Derby, York
and Portsmouth, the men quit at
midnight.
The platforms at several pro-
vincial stations were thronged at
midnight with intended passengers
who had the Inspect of spending
the night there guarding their bag
gage.
1t is reported that some full trains
were abandoned. The engineers
were willing. to continue with their
trains, but the withdrawal of the
signalmen prevented them. A ma
jority of the engineers and firemen
belong to a separate union which
up to the present has not struck,
though it is expected to join the
movement.
In South Wales, which is a net
work of railroads among the coal
fields, the men are said to have
struck in a body, including the en-
gineers.
May Not Haul Coal
The Government announces that
in order to assure food supplies
during the strike it may be neces-
sary entirely to suspend the trans
portation of coal.
II do not think there is shadow
of a doubt that the miners and the
transport workers will join the
strike" said ]. II. Thomas general
secretary of the National Union of
Railwaymen, in an interview with
the Daily Mail.

ATTRACTIVE HOTELS
 NEEDED IN FRANCE
French National Chamber Of Rotelmen Has Extensive Program

Paris, Dec. 19.The National Cham
 Der of Hotelkeepers has begun an ac-
 tive campaign to make French hotels
 attra ctive to Americans. American
 ideas are being sought through an
 agent of the chamber in the United
 States. series of articles for hotel
 men is being published by the organ
 ization's official paper. The necessity of modern toilet conveniences, honest
 treatment, and otherwise conforming
 to the standards of the United States
 are emphasized.
 Cleanliness is given the most at
 tention by the cham ber's agent in the
 United States and he cites conditions
 in some of the French hotels that
 would be surprising to an American.
 He recommends the use of white or
 light paint to prevent the gloominess
 of interiors, greater illumination,
 recognition of the bathtub from the American point of view, removal of
 various unsanitary quarters from near the kitchen, elimination of little serv- ice charges and other changes.
 "Breakfast,' the correspondent re- ports, "is the Americans best meal" and we must organize ourselves to give it to him and to serve it quick ly. Also, ice cream, is the national dessert; it is eaten morning and night. America has machines for making this dessert. Perhaps we can adopt model and later make it in France" The hotel men are cautioned by the correspondent against "a verita ble or ganization to boost prices" which he said had been reported to him. Other wise, he reasoned, returning travel lers would spread the bad news and [ i've would thus lose the chance we now have to make enormous profits To prevent such overcharging, government agency IS obtaining pledges from hotels to charge only posted rates to tourists directed to them through the governments in ternational publicity campaign to at 1 tract visitors.
