TURN DOWN PLAN
RailrOaders in England Will
Walk Out Yet.
Subway Workers Settled, but
Others Will Not.

London, Feb. IA nationwide
railway strike ag, in became a posi-
bility today W len the National Union
of Railway men repudiated the set
tlement effected last night by subway
workers.
The threatened strike was intended
largely as a sympathetic walkout to
assist the subway men, but the rail-
way men who constitute the strongest
OF the rail unions. are understood to
nave decided to go thru with the
strike because of their own grievance.
In expectation that electric light
would be cut off Saturday night there
was great sale of lamps and candles
here during the day, but at o'clock
IN the evening it was announced that
the electrical trades union strike had
been postponed. 1t is understood the
latest plan is to call out the engineers
IN London's sixty power houses at
midnight Saturday.
While the outside electrical workers
will strike today there is another
unlon-the Electrical Power Engi-
neerS aSsoclaton-which is a sort of
aristocracy among electrical workers.
It's secretary said that the members
would stand by their work and would
insure a reasonable supply of electric
lty- one newspaper here estimates
that five million hours of working
time is being lost daily apart from
'the losses of shopkeepers. theaters and
railroads as result of the strike. One
result of the inability of thousands to
reach their places of business has been
such a congestion of telephone bust
ness that the arrangements of the
companies have been forced to appeal
TO the public to limit itself to strictly
necessary calls.
While a majority of the newspapers
are against the strikers, the Westmin
ster Gazette, which is one of the most
influential journals here, summarizes
the mems case saying that the govern
ment picked industry to pieces for the
war and must put it together again
for peace" The strike has brought
several movements for volunteers to
carry on public works and for societies

own protection
