ed, but greatly pleased, by the sudden
announcement this afternoon, that
the great railway strike which ap
peared to have brought the country al
most to the brink of revolution. was
settled, and that the strikers would
resume work as quickly as possible.
The terms of the settlement are in
| the nature of a compromise. The ma.

call off the strike, and the govern.
ment consents to a renewal of the ne.
gotiations, the continuance of the
existing wage scale for another year,
instead of six months, as previously
offered, and the establishment of a
minimum wage of 81 shillings while
the cost of living is 10 per cent.

long conference today between a
trade union delegation, including rep
resentatives of the railway mems
union and Premier Lloyd-George and
Andrew Bonar Law in the famous con
ference room in Downing street Prior
to this there was cabinet meeting
1t is conceded on all sides that the
settlement is the outcome of the mod
crate, but determined efforts of the
executive of the transport workers
federation and men like Arthur Hen

throughout have set their faces steadi

strike until every possible avenue of

| Washington, Oct '5.-The National
Industrial Conference, summoned
| few weeks ago by President Wilson to
consider fundamental means of bet
| tering the whole relationship OF labor
and capital" and originally planned to
be held in the White House. will con-
vene tomorrow morning in the Pan
American Bnilding, with many repre-
sentatives of labor absent. AZ mid
night it was not certain whether the
Brotherhoods of Trainmen ard Fire
men would be represented and the
United Mine Workers Union has no.
titled Secretary of Labor Wilson that
it will not have representative at
the conference.
The calling of the steel strike in adj
vance of this conference against the
request of President Wilson, which
has brought to a sharp issue many of
the matters of disputes that naturally
would be discussed by the conference
has developed very tense situation
between union labor and capital. This
is giving Secretary Of Labor Wilson
and Secretary of the Interior Lane
great concern. Both are not certain
just whether this issue can be avoid
ed and if it comes to the front early
t IS feared that The conference viii
end in failure.
Thus far there is no well-thought
out program for the conference. Pres
ident Wilson had carefully considered
the matter and had given his general
idea of what should be done, not only
in his speech before Congress on May
90 last. but in the call for the confer
ence. But his sudden illness has com
PEELED other members of the Cabinet
TO proceed slowly.
