TO HALT BRITISH STRIKE
Transport Workers Federation
Representatives Seek to Bring
About Industrial Peace.
CONFER WITH LLOYD GEORGE
Government Rcpudiates View Held in
Labor Circles That 1t Is Com
mittcd to Policy of Smashing
Labor Unions.
IBy Associated press1

LONDON. Oct. 1.-For the first time
since the railway strike began there
has been serious attempt at media
tion, undertaken today, as foreshadowed
last night. by the powerful Transport
Workers Federation.
This organization. before committing
its thirty-six unions to sympathetic
strike. decided to see If it was not pos
siblc to bridge the narrow margin
separating the government and the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen;> : namely,
whether the terms already granted the
locomotive men should also be granted
other trades OF railway men.
The transport workers deputation of
eleven men, which waited on Premier
Lloyd George for this purpose. includ-
ed some of the most conserving and
farseeing members of the Labor party,
among others Harry Gosltng president
Robert Clynes. former food controller;
Arthur Henderson, and James O'Grady
and James Sexton, Labor members Of
PARLIAMENT: The council sat for three
made no offer. conditional or uncondi-
tional.
A number OF ministers and other in
iuential men were called into the con-
statemet was issue to the effct that
the government would only resume ne
Gotitions provided the railway men first
resumed work.
The Premier. however. consented to
receive the executive committee OF the
National Union of Railwaymen, and, ac-
cordingly. the deputation OIL transport
workers. with j. II. Thomas, presi-
dent; c. T. -Cramp and other represen-
tatives of the railwaymen, proceeded to
Dowing Street again to ascertain on
what basis negotiations might be re-
opened
No definite conclusion was reached,
but 1t was arranged that another con-
ference with the Premier should be
held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
What went on at the conference has
not been disclosed.
The crux of the whole matter
seems to be the fixed idea among abor
men that the government Is committed
to the policy of smashing the Unions
Any such intention is repudiated on
behalf of the government.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1.-Nothing de-
veloped in the steel strike in the Pitts
burgh district today to materially
change the situation. Strike leaders
and their organizers showed the usual
activity in their campaign to further
cripple the big plants in operation in
this territory. Steel company officials
had little information to impart except
the daily claim that more men are con-
stantly applying for work each day.
The Carnegie Steel Company main
tains that its big works at Homestead,
Duquesne. Braddock and Clarion,
against which the unions have concen-
trated their attacks. continue to in
crease their productions. Reports that
men are returning to work in increas-
lngly larger numbers also came from
points outside of Pittsburgh and vi
cinity.
Satisfactory progress was the word
given out at national strike headquar-
ters regarding the situation from the
standpoint of the organized steel
workers. 1t was announced that the
foundry OF the Jones & Laughlin plant

Above all things ones millinery
must be kept fresh looking and i'm
maculately clean. There are many
millinery materials that are always
In style, as velvet and velvet ribbons,
well-made flowers, laces, ribbons,
straw hats, crepe and chiffons. They
become soiled and mussed, but can be
cleaned and freshened up by simple
processes available at home. Now that

may only need repolishlng, or to have
the trimmings freshened up, to serve
during the early spring and as

For colored straw hats there are
dyes which are usually on sale in drug
stores, ready to apply, which will re-
store the color of the straw or change
1t to another color. There are several
reliable dyes that Will change colored
hats into black ones. Most of these
dyes give the hat fine luster and 1t
looks practically new, after dyeing.
Often a fnded hat can be successfully
restored to color by applying the col
ors mixed with gasoline, as described

Panama straws. In this case the suds
is used, but with a view to keeping
the straw from getting very wet. To
restore a natural straw color, hat
may be cleaned with lemon juice and
sulphur. white straw may be washed
with oxallc acid diluted with water.
After leghorn hat has been cleaned
1t may be bleached by suspending it
over burning sulphur candle. Burn
the sulphur in the bottom Of barrel,
suspending the hat at the top so that

successfully secured with the finest

store color in colored straw hats.
