British Strike Called
Beginning OF Ciril Var

LONDON, Oct 9.-An editorial in
"The Weekly Nation" written before
to-night's developments in the strike
situation. while condemnng what is
termed the railway mems precipitate
action, says:
at will be civil war whore there can
be no victory in this war. Whoever
wins it. it must mean that the one
stable and fully active industrial com
munity reamning in Europe has be-
come involved in the continental bank
ruptcy and ruin
"The needless and violent will learn
that smashing those unions involves
general smash in which our indus
trial supremacy will be irretrievably
lost and our national credit become the
same as the august symbol of an over
turned temple"
"The New Statesman" the organ of
the intellectual Socialists, says:
"If we were asked to explain the puz-
zle of the strike in a dozen words, we
should say that, stripped of all it's in
essential details, what the nation has
witnessed and suffered in the last ten
days has been desperate attempt on
the part Of the coalition government to
recapturc the middle class vote"
New-York tribune., 1919-10-04

proved at full meeting of the Cabi-
net this afternoon.
The government is also standing firm
on the question Of Withholding the
mems wages for the last week they
worked. A statement to this effect is
sued from Downing Street last night
reads as follows:
"The members of the National Union
of Railwaymen broke their contract
and stopped work without notice in
complete disregard of the efFc.t
their action would have on the per-
sons and property of ordinary citizens
in their charge. They inflicted damage
upon innumerable people, left food
upon which the public depended for
subsistence to go to waste, put vas.
numbers to great expense by leaving
them stranded without conveyances and
inflicted great losses upon many by
preventing them from reaching desti-
nations. The damages to which they
are liable in law are vastly greater
than the amount now being withheld
"lf an early resumption of work oc-
ours, different considerations may
arise. In the meantime the country is
still subjected to unexampled injury
by the railwaymen's action, and, in
these circumstances, the government
would not be justified in handing ovel
to the strikers sum which would be
used for prolonging struggle under
taken without any consideration for
the welfare of the public and which
is endangering the life of the nation.

London Printers
Hold Up Editorial
Mew York Tribune

European Bureau
Copyright. 1919 New York Tribune Inc)
LONDON, Oct. 3-Printers, compost
tors and other union men employed in
British newspaper Offices are beginning
to show resentment at the hostile edi-
torial attitude which all the papers,
with the exception of "The London
Daily Herald" have taken toward the
strike, and there have been several dem
onstrations of hostility by the pressmen
toward the policy of the newspapers on
which they are employed.
The publication of "The Daily Sketch"
was suspended for three hours last night
while a deputation of printers and COM
positors protested to the editor against
the way the strike news was being
handled
Sir Edward Hutton, publisher of "The
Sketch and "The Evening Standard"
refused to admit the right of "any Sec
ton of his employees to dictate the policy
of his papers" and declined to alter a
word of the editorial in question, declar-
ing that he would rather close down the
publication than submit to dctation of
this sort. The men finally returned to
work.
Two members of the staff of "The
Daily Express" visited the editor and
attempted to persuade him to find room
in his columns for a presentation of the
railway mems side of the case. The
paper complied with the request in its
news columns, but continued to indulge
in unqualified editorial denunciation of
the strike.
An important secret meeting of the
printers and their mechanical workers
was held to-day to discuss the situation
and consider future action. One union
man put his side of the case in these
words:
"rwo classes of the public join in
producing newspapers, those who write
what is printed and those who do the
work of setting, printing and distrbut-
ing what has been written. 1t happens
that in the present dispute these two
classes have taken opposite sides.
"Now, without denying the right of
the editors to write what they please
on their side of the cases, surely
union men are under no obligation to
assist in distributing to the public
what is virtually propaganda against
their cause.
I'm other words, we say:
"'We do not dispute your right to
say what you like, even if it is un-
true Chat seems to be one inherent
right of a free press), but when we
say that what we are asked to give
out to the public is not only unfair
but untrue, we refuse to become a
party to its distribution

The State Insurance Fund is at pres

since Its creation, according to testi-
mony given yesterday at the investi-
CATION conducted by Special Commits
sioner J. F. Connor.
Joseph H. Woodward. former actuarv
OF the fund, stated that its assets had
grown from zero in 1914 to S4333.143
IN 1913; that the catastrophe sur
plus of S434 653 was unimpaired and
that unassigned surplus of sls.776 was

Albert H. Mowbray, who succeeded
Mr. Woodward as secretary of the In
dustrlal Commission, also testified to
the strength of the fund.
The details in two additional cases
OF graft were reported Clarence Dur

the checks were cashed at a Thirty

CRATER smiled and said:

Failure of Rail Conference
Creates Labor Menace
Declared Most Serious of
Any for a Generation
Citizens Army Planned
All Trade Organizations in
Country Are Summoned
to London on Tuesday

LONDON. Oct. 5 (By The Associated
Press).-Aftcr seven days the railroad
strike situation tonight became the
cravest in the history of any labor
crisis Of the British Empire in the
present generation. All efforts of the
transport Workers Federation to find
q bridge to enable renewal of nego-
,iations between the government and
the National Union of Raiiwaymen
failed.
The governments proposal for a
seven days truce for the rail men to
return 10 work and permit resumption
of negotiations on the disputed points,
coupled with the offer by the govern
ment to resort to arbitration in the
event Of failure TO reach an agreemen Mt,
has been rejected by the ralwaymen's s
union. and the whole possibility of me-
diation for the moment seems COM
petely to have collapsed.
All Unions to Meet
At the same time. it was announced
that at = meeting of trade union dele
gates, following the conference with
Premier Lloyd George, it was decided
10 convene in London on Tuesday a
congress of all the trade unions in the
United Kingdom TO discuss the situa-
ton.
The Premier in the course of a con-
ference to-day made an impassioned
appeal to the railway men to accept the
offer of arbitration. and it is reported
that some delegates of the transport
workers were in favor Of accepting the
offer.
Robert Williams. general secretary of
III
statement to the press tonight re-
ferred to the breakdown in negotiations
to-day as "lamentable" and announced
that the congress of trade unions had
been convened for Tuesday to "engage
IN any form of moral and sympathetic
support of the railway men in the
struggle they are waging for trades
unionsm."
Grave View Is Taken
The view taken in government circles
tonight is that the position is ex-
tremely grave, and all necessary steps
are being taken by the government to
meet the new situation.
On leaving the conference in Down
ing Street all the delegates were grave
and appeared to believe there was little
possibility of a further conference with
the government. President Cramp. of
the National Union of Railway men, ex-
pressed the conviction that the railway
men would have absolutely rejected the
government offer.
Frank Hodges. of the Miners Union,
said tonight that the railroad strike
had brought about the employment Of
more than half million miners.
The actual situation on the railroads
showed a further great Improvement
