BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKE ENDS

London reports of October 5 stated that
the railway strike that had threatened in
dustrial chaos and revolution in England,
had been settled, at least for the time being.
Great Britain's railway system again was
in operation, avertlng what threatened to
develop into an ominous spread Of the ma
tons labor troubles
Prime Minister Lloyd George, on Oc-
tober 1, had informed a deputation of trans
port workers, who called upon him as in
termediaries in the railway strike, that it
was impractical to continue negotiations un-
til the railroad men resumed work.
Later on, he called for the formation Of
"citizen guards" throughout the country to
assist the police and special constables in
protecting peaceful citizens and in main
tanning supplies of food and other neces-
sites of life
In the meantime, he had issued state
ment to the effect that the government was
not fighting trades unions, which are a
recognized factor of industrial life, but to
prevent extremists of any industrial body
from gaining their ends by attacking the
life of the community and so bringing TN
told misery upon thousands of innocent peo-
pie.
On October 5, Premier Lloyd George and
Andrew Bonar Law, for the government,
reached compromise with the railway men S
union and the intermediary union repre-
sentatives at conference, thus negotiating
truce.
Mr.. L. R. Murdock, in a cable dispatch
from London to the Chicago Herald and
Examiner, said:
"The men agreed to return to work forth
with pending negotiations of the wage sta
tus under the guarantee that there will be a
settlement by Oct 81, and conditionally up
on the governments guarantee that there
will be no reduction in wages before Sept.
80, 1920.
"The men received the additional guar
antee from the government that no railway
workers are to receive less than about $3.50
weekly instead of about $4 40 paid them be-
! fore the war as long as the cost of living
is not less than 10 per cent above the pre-
war level
"The two warning sides have met each
other half way.
''The government has yielded to the strik-
ers' insistence by guaranteeing to keep up
wages The railnen yielding by returning
to work pending the stabilizing of wages.
"Meanwhile the crisis in the negotiations
is only postponed until the end of the month,
but the situation IS such that it is believed
an agreement is likely at that time, in which
case the controversy will be delayed whole
year.
"Both sides were mobi1izing the entire
nation for the bitterest trades union strug
gle known to the English speaking races.
All British unions had prepared to meet
Tuesday to proclaim general strike and
the government was marshaling citizens
army.
"This agreement thus slaves off the great
est industrial crisis the British nation has
ever known"
It is claimed that the strike cost the Brit
ish government s5,ooo,ooo a day, and in
addition, loss to business of $3.50 O0OO,O 1000.

of the nation from the days of its
foundation have helped to pay the
taxes which have supported the leg
islatures, and that, therefore, 1t Is
only fair reparation for the many
years of taxation without representa-
tion that the legislatures should i'm
pose upon their states the compare
to the call for extra sessions to in
sure quick ratification.
There are many reasons why the
women wish no serious delay and why
many men, as well. I think. are anx-
ious that the peoples will shall be ex-
pressed as quickly as may be by the
admission of the women to full re-
sponsibility. Great questions are be-
fore the neutrality-suspicious. greater
than any that have been before 1t
since the civil war. These are worthy
of the careful judgment OF the whole
mentally responsible population.
For example. there Is the league
of nations issue. in which women
have the right to claim especial in
terest. This will be one issue in the
next presidential campaign. To shut
out all American womanhood which
was without the franchise at the
time Of the passage of the amend
lege of expressing it's views upon
that which will vitality affect the
nation for all time to come. and from
similar expressions upon other ques-
tions the replies to which will be
epoch making in their consequences.
would be in the circumstances an act
almost, If not quite, of oppression.
And it would be an act which the
future would be certain to resent.
II cannot Think never have been
able to think--that in dealing with
such questions the United States
would be willing to stand unique and
blameworthy in half democracy
among the nations Of the world. In
dealing with them women will have
a voice in Germany Austria. Hun
gary, Czechoslovakia. Jugosloyakia,
Sweden, Norway, Holland and Dem
mark; they will have a voice in Great
Britain and all the British domin-
ions and colonies except South Africa:
they will have voice in the greater
part of Belgium; it may be that they
will have voice in France, where
the measure has gone through the
senate and is pending in the cham
Der of deputies-not with the best OF
prospects. l am afraid.
In such circumstances would 1t be
fitting for the United States Of free
America to lag behind? On the con-
trary, such situation would con-
stitute one Of the most remarkable
anomalies in the nations history"
The writer asked Mrs. Gait how
she thinks the women of America. IL
the question were to be decided by
they alone, would vote upon the
league Of nations
"No," said she. don't try to draw

mo one could do more than guess
as to how American men or women
will vote upon any great and vital
topic. That is one of the safeguards
OF our national existence. If we
knew, without a ballot. the prefer
ence Of the nation upon such great
and vital topics we could do away
with balloting. Certainly opinion Is
divided among women as among men
upon the subject of the league of ma
tions, for women are strong and in
dependent thinkers. as they quickly
will reveal. But they are (again l
say it, in the main constructive
thinkers. Women will not be like
sheep. all voting alike. And"-Mrs.
Gait smiled) II assure you especially
that American women with the fran
chise will not be like lambs. Let no
man expect it!
The important point is that no bal
lot which did not include the votes Of
women can represent the will of the
whole American people. and that If
the plan of the league OF nations Is
not finally adopted or rejected by the
whole American people it's adoption
or rejection will mean little in the
way Of permanent tranquility.
Speaking generally. women hate
war and love peace. AS a matter Of
fact, after every war the beliggerence
of all human beings is at low ebb.
Great wars come once. not twice. in a
generation. The trouble is that those
educated to wars horrors die off.
Their successors are without appre-
citation: they become complacent,
overconfident, sometimes Gas in Ger
many) arrogant, willing to take
chances. Then the world suffers.
When woman suffrage becomes uni
versal throughout the world there
will be less chance Of this, for wom-
en-, after all, are the chief sufferers
from war.
mo one expects perfect satisfaction
with the treaty as it will be adopted
by the peace conference; a document
of the sort which is born of an effort
to reconcile so many and such widely
conflicting interests is certain to be
marked by the effects of many COM
promises, and in every compromise
may Turk some ground for future dis
agreements necessitating readjust-
ments.
but readjustments are the footsteps
Of human progress: the point Is that
we must find a starting point for the
work of future years. a basis upon
which to build an international fab
rio which will tend toward progress
in which Justice will be universally
recognized as the great fundamental.
Surely the women OF the United States
and Of the world should have q voice
as to determining the nature of that
basis, surely they should be held to
strict accountability for such re-
sponsibility As they accept aud should

 We boys eat lots of chow over here and Liberty bonds pay for it, so why should we worry. We'll, today is Xmas, so we boys are feeling fine, for we ate fine dinner today. But we did not have the big turkey that we have been used to on Xmas day, and there is also a six inche snow on the ground, so we have been having war with snow this morning.. We'll, the snow being on the ground did not bother our santa clause for he came around in his aeroplane and the choco- lates and cigarettes he gave us were the best, and you must know that the Y. M. c. A. Man was with santa clause. We'll, I have been getting the News from home and I see quite bit of interesting news, so I will try and send in few lines from this country. I am near the Rhine river at town by the name of Nickenich just small vil- lage We'll, one of my comrades of Lockesburg just stepped in and he seemed as though he was enjoying with the best of life.
 We'll, I wish to say few words as in regard to the girls, the girls in this country sure are some pretty, but, ha! ha! not near as pretty as the girls back home We'll, we boys are pa tiently waiting for the time when we shall take the boats to leave this coun- try, but we will gladly step on the boat to go home I will close for this evening wishing you all a happy New Year.
