Washington, September 2s.-Although
no definite statement was forthcoming
following an all-day conference here

tober 6.
The meeting to-day was preliminary
TO a conference tomorrow between rep

The. workers discussed the demands
which will be made. and appointed a

OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC

London, September 29.--Government
officials were decidedly optimistic to-
day in their expressions regarding the
trend Of the strike. The correspondent
of the Associated Press was officially
informed that the machinery for the
distribution Of food is working SO well
that it Is possible to announce that
adequate supplies are absolutely guar
anteed to the country.
More than 100 trains are operating in
the various districts and the number
is increasing today. some Of the opera
tives being volunteers andtothers union
mep who oppose the strike.
Tie goverrs4sent attity1e Is I'M
changed. 1t will not recede one inch,
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press was told by an official. 1t pro-
posed to govern and not to be run by
section OF the community. Public
sentiment, 1T was stated, is absolutely
with the government. which is deluged
by offers Of voluntary service from all
parts Of the country. Hundreds of
thousands have already volunteered, in
GLIDING large numbers of organizations
of discharged soldiers and sailors who
were rendering their services as bodies.
The possibility of spread of the strike
to = few other unions is not over
looked, but no anxiety is expressed
over this.
VEHICLE MEN UNDECIDED
The question whether the bus. tram
way and automobile workers will go
on strike probably will be settled very
shortly.
If these men decide to go out. the
government is said to be prepared to
a,fI &c 70
keep the services going. The employ
ment of the military in this connection
has not been mentioned, there being
plenty of volunteer workers available
An Indication of the efficiency of
the machinery for the distribution of
food was to be seen today in Hyde
park, where great quantities of milk
and foodstuffs arrived. 1t was said
that the milk supply in London today
was fair, but that 1t would be better
tomorrow. Torpedo-boat destroyers
are being employed to distribute food
along the coast.
London today faced stricter food
rationing than for a year.
Regulations which were winked at
even before the armistice, when sup
plies started coming in in larger quanti-
ties. today were clamped down hard
on all kinds of meats and butter and
sugar. Cured meats which were only
slightly rationed during the war; today
were placed In the same category as
other meats.
Fish was not placed under the ration
ing edict, but the lack of transporta-
ton is affecting the supply.
1t is roughly estimated that there is
IA weeks supply in the country if
it is conserved. Restaurants have
eliminated butter from their menus and
restricted bread to one roll per meal
The familiar miniature war steaks
again are in evidence
