London Tubes Still
Tied Up Despite End
Of Railinen's Strike
Workers Show Little lncli-
nation to Go Back; Scotch
Miners Resume Work:
Glasgow Men Still Out

LONDON, Feb. S.-The strike situa.
tion in London continued confused
this afternoon. The Secretary of the
National Union of Railwaymen issued s
statement that settlement had been
reached and advising the men to re-
turn to work, but, like the electricians
whose strike was declared off yester-
day. the railwaymen show little inclina-
tion to return to their places, at least
before Monday.
AT me Of the large electrical works
where the employees appeared this
morning prepared to resume work they
were informed that the plants were
shut down for the present and that
those desiring to return to work should
apply next week.
AT 4 O'Clock this afternoon the
underground management issued the
following statement:
THE striking employees not having
returned to work, it is improbable that
the trains will be running to-day"
Apparently the announcement made
by the Board of Trade shortly after
midnight that a settlement had been
reached was premature. According to
a statement made by the strikers com
mittee at noon to-day. both sides were
very near a settlement early this morn
ing.
Sir Albert Stanley, President of the
Board cf Trade, had announced at 2:20
O'Clock this morning that an agreement
had been reached. Acting Secretary
Hudson of the union had subsequently
declared he was satisfied with the
agreement which had been reached. He
said that accredited representatives
would be appointed by the union to
care for the physical needs of the men,
pending arrangements which will be
made IN preparation for the establish
ment OF an eight-hour day.
Hundreds Of motor trucks hired by
the War Department greatly relieved
the situation to-day. The trucks came
into the ncart of the city jammed with
passengers.
The striking workmen of Glasgow,
GOvan and Clydebank resolved on Fri
Gay to continue the struggle for a
fortv-four-hou week.
The strikers joint committee has is
sued statement alleging the carpen-
ters of Glasgow have decided to strike.
Ane Scvp.4sn miners have all re-
sumed work pending discussion of the
whole situation at the miners confer
eace at Southport on February ~
BELFAST. Feb. Sit is unoficially
stated that employers of union labor
have asked striking workmen to re-
sumo work en- a basis of forty-seven
hours week, with a promise of a
forty hour week when the treaty
Of peace is signed.

Heney Declares Armour
Lawyer Offered Him Job
Trade Commission Investigator
Tells of Alleged Proposal
During Hearing
Ne.o York Tribune
Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Francis J.
Heney, special counsel for the Senate
Agriculture Committee in Its investi-
cation into the affairs of the "Big
Five" packers, to-day informed the
committee that he had been offered
a job with the Armours.
He said that when J. Ogden Armour,
head of Armour & Co., was testifying
before the committee in open hear
ing two weeks ago, Levi Mayer, counsel
for Armour, leaned across the table and
said to him:
"Heney, as l told Frank Walsh in
Chicago, if you come with US, We'll give
you more business than you can
handle"
Il think" observed Heney, in divulg-
ing this information to the committee
to-day that lawyer who would
do that ought to be dsbarred"
Heney assisted in the preparation
of the committees sensational re-
port charging that the meat packing
and allied industries of the country
were absolutely in the grip Of Armour,
Opportunity will be given Mayer to
reply to Heney's charges.
Mayer will probably appear on the
stand on Monday. Senator Kenyon
said ne will be asked then to explain
the offer to Mr.. Heney.
The statement was made by the com
mttee counsel in the course Of reply
to Henry Veeder. counsel for Swift &
Co, who said the alleged lobby main
tanned at Washington by the American
National Livestock Association was
larger and more active than any the
packers had ever maintained. A fund
of $150O00, he said, had been raised
among the livestock men to pay its

LOCAL, TRADING EXTREMELY
LIMITED AND COLORLESS
continued absence Of Liquidation in Leading Investment
Shares Encouraging Development

oday local stock market was n
toIorless affair with extremely light
ttraulng and mixed but altogether un-
Important price changes. The days op-
eratlons only served to emphasize the
waiting attitude of the local trading
contingent, and the complete absence of
any initiative.
one OF the more encouraging features
was the perceptible lessening of the
urloDIlng aud iusistent liquidation in
'he reading investment shares. This was
more noticeable because of the rather
gloomy aspect of the railroad situation.
Most of these stocks. however, have
unquestionably reached a level of unmis
taxable attractiveness from an invest
ment viewpoint. As matter of fact,
the recent picking up of these shares is
to be regarded in a much more import
ant light than the irritating persistent
liquidation. II means in the outright
buying these stocks are being gradually
taking away from the street and finding
a lengthy lodging in strong boxes.
If the greater part of the recent lioui-
dation, was, as stated. for the purposes
of establishing losses in making income
tax statement, it is reasonably certain
the same sellers must sooner or later
be compelled to buy great many. of
the shares thus disposed of back again.
There is a prevailing impression they
can be bought at much lower prices.
The history of the street has invariably
shown when any opinion becomes vir-
tually unanimous it is essentially
wrong. Perhaps some of these tax
dodgers may have to pay dear for their
lukewarm patriotism.

MARK EFT UNDER COMPLETE
DOMINATION OF TRADERS
altitude Of Labor Organizations Toward Government Control
Prouoked Fresh Selling of the Rails

New York. Dec. 1S.--Any lingering
doubt as to the ultra professional calber
of the current stock operations were
completely dispelled by the nervous and
mercurial fluctuations in today's mar
ket. 1t was virtually the same give
and take affair of the immediate pre-
ceding sessions, with this one exception,
the swing of market pendulum was in
clined to swing downward. There were,
however, no great depreciations suf
tered in stock values, neither was any
great amount of long stock dislodged.
On the contrary, what most of the
traders sold they bought back again, or
what others bought they sold. SO it
was virtually clcancut case of swap
ping horses.
Whereas in the preceding session
everything in the way of news and de
velopments was seemingly in favor Of
the constructive side. today it was de
cidedly in favor of the reactionists. The
latter. however, were not disposed to
play any stronger game than did their
bullish brethren yesterday with the
budget of good news which bell ON their
laps.
Matters generally were most un-
promising from the outset as result
Of the overnight news concerning the
attitude of labor organizations toward
government control of the transporta
tion lines. To make things more un-
pleasant. later in the morning came
the news of another abrupt break in
British exchange, which fell , cents
under Yesterdays final quotation. The
Mexican news likewise was anything
but reassuring.
The rails were lower by fractions
to | - points at the opening and the
weakness of this division logically pro
duced unsettlement in other parts If

ground as the morning wore on, low
priced issues falling / to points with
the standard shares. Reactions among
the oil. motor and steel shares also in
creased. The break in Texas Co.. which
appeared to lack support, was extended
to IL points. The shipping, equip

fell 1 to points.

which seems to pervade all quarters of

traders aud the semiprofcssional cle-
mcnt offered stocks freely all around

supply. This fact served as an auto
matte brake upon the bearish opera
tions, and in the second hour there
was an appreciable lesSening Of presS
sure in all directions.
The insecurity of the bearish position
was attested in the rallying tendency
which followed the reduction OF the re
uewal rate for call money to & per cent.
against Z per cent yesterday. The
rally was without special vigOr and was
followed by fresh rcccssions, which,
however, resulted more because of the
extreme uarrowness of the market and
complete absence of speculative interest,
