Britain Faces
 Most Serious
 Labor Crisis

LONDON. Oct 3.-(By the Asso- ciated Press. l-After seven days. the railroad strike situation tonight be- came the gravest in the history of any labor crisis of the British empire in the present generation. All efforts of the transport workers federation 10 find q bridge to enable renewal of negotiations between the government fnd the National Union Of Railway Men failed.
 The governments proposal for a seven day truce for the railroad men to return to work and permit resump ton of negotiations on the disputed points coupled wit hthe offer by the government to resort to arbitration in the event of failure to reach an agree ment. has been rejected by the railway mems union and the whole possibility of mediation seems to have collapsed.
 An appeal has been made by the gov ernment for citizen army 10 protect peaceable citizens and to aid in the work of maintaining the supply of food. The executive body of the Ma tional Union of Railway Men has dis banded for the purpose of engaging in campaign meetings throughout the \ tOHETtSS tiflbTdtlHS dll lut trade unions of the United Kingdom has been called to convene Tuesday for the purpose of discussing the situation.
 The premier. at a conference today, made an impassioned appeal 10 the rail- way men to accept the offer of arbitra- tion and it is reported that some dele gates of the transport workers were in favor of accepting the offer.
 Robert Williams. general secretary Of the Transport Workers union, in a statement to the press tonight re- ferred to the breakdown in negotia D tions today as "lamentable. an nouncing that congress of trade unions had been convened for Tues day to engage in any form of morar and sympathetic support of the rar- Way men in the struggle they are waging for trades unionism.n
 In the meantime, MT. Williams added the delegates who had been consulting with Premier Lloyd George from day to day would be made offi- cers of the transport workers fedora : ton in order 10 formulate proposals they were convinced would prove ac- ceptable to the entire trades union movement of the kingdom.

HINES CONF F|DENT RAIL UNIONS WILL
 BE REPRESENTED
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

, WASHINGTON. Oct 3.-Amicable settlement of the dispute over the rail- road unions representation in the in dustrial conference called by President Wilson appeared possible tonight A new suggestion transmitted by Director General Hines was under consideration by the unions, with optimism frankly expressed in official circles that it would be accepted
 Timothy Shea of the firemen. who announced today that the four brother hoods did not expect to have delegates at the conference because the basis of representation offered the unions was unsatisfactory, said he was in eommu- nica ton with the chiefs of the three other brotherhoods and with the unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, but that no decision was pos sible before tomorrow. He declines to state what the railroad administration had offered until the proposal was act ed upon finally.
 Appointment of B, VI. Jewel, acting president of he railroad employees de- partment of the federation as one of the representatives of the public in the conference was expected to be con- ciliatory factor in the dispute.
 The trouble arose when the railroad unions were asked to appoint four dele gates to the conference. The four .brotherhoods desired to name all four men, claiming that American Fedora ton of Labor delegates would represent the unions affiliated with that organi- zation. These unions, however insisted that they should be allowed to partici- pate in selecting the four men repre- senting the railroad employees especially and when an agreement seemed impos- sible, the unions joined in suggesting to MT. Hines to change the basis of union representation by allowing the heads of all recognized labor organizations to participate.
 As this was impossible owing to the short time remaining before the con | ference opens, the counter suggestion was made which it was hoped would lend the; truuhis.

Stream of Molten Lava Flows From
 Noted Mauna Loa

HlLO, T. H., oct. 3.-tBy the Asso- ciated Press IA party of five promi- nent men returned here today with a report of finding of the Masna Loa lava stream, which now is flowing un- diminished 30 miles 10 the sea The men reported that they got within a mile Of the Assure on Mauna Loa slope, $500 feet above the 1916 eruption. They estimated that the geyser of lava fs 300 feet high and 300 feet in diameter.
 IL could be heard for miles and sounded like the exhausts of 10000 locomotives they said
 The party, headed by Prof. Thomas A. dagger. director Of the Kilauea ob- servatory, is still out on the desolate mountain side in it's study of the erup- tion. There has been no report from him and it is presumed that he is in- Yestigating at close range
 The lava has formed an extensive cape extending a quarter Of mile out into the ocean. The lava is still flow. ing. in great volume. small tidal wave Thursday on the Kona coast en- dangered the lives of several persons. One woman. Mrs. Carl Cartsmith. wife Of Hilo lawyer, was swept Q guar. ter of mile to sea. but was rescued by Hawaiian in canoe Carlsmith was badly bruised on the rocks and his automobile was wrecked by the waves.
 The disturbance is attributed to a possible subsistence of the ocean bed from the sudden weight of the lava.
 The men who saw the flowing lava said they witnessed solid column Of llquid lava maintaining a steady flow The lava is flowing for the most part through wild and desolate country. covered by rough lava formations from former eruptions. The damage is very slight.

 In Senate Soon
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct 3-After d three hour discussion of the peace treaty, the dominant note of which was a sharp attack on President Will son, the senate late today decided on d breathing spell until Monday, with indications that he debate soon would embrace the provision under which the Chinese province of Shantung was awarded 10 Japan.
 The attack on the president was made by Senator Jones, republican of Washington, who had expected to speak two days ago. In charging that the president had done more to un- dermine orderly government than any other agency" Senator Jones declared the attempt to coerce" the senate into ratifying the treaty unamended or without reservations "embodies the spirit of the mob and justified law lessness.''
 The presidents friends should tell him plainly and bluntly and promptly that the treaty has no chance of rati- fication in it's present form said the senator who added. "and they will do so when he is able to receive it."
