PROVINCIAL UNIONS
URGE PREMIER's OFFER

London. Oct 3-An official bulletin,
issued from Downing street this after
noon, says the national union of railway
men has rejected the governments pro-
posal of a seven-day truce.
At meeting of trades union delegates
following the conference with Premier
Lloyd George it was decided to convene
the trades unions in the United King
DOM to discuss the situation.
Hope for an early settlement Of the
railroad strike faded last night when it
became known that efforts to mediate
between the government and the ma
tional union of railwaymen had failed.
That the situation is grave is generally
admitted.
Premier Lloyd George insists the men
must resume work before negotiations
can be reopened Many kilograms were
received at the local headquarters of the
national union from provincial branches
today urging that the premier's uiti-
matum be accepted. but it was said BY
leaders of the organization thar the gov
ernment's order Withholding the mems
pay for the last week they worked had
precluded resumption.
Why Wages Are Unpaid.
Responsibility for Withholding the
mems wages is assumed by the govern
ment in a statement issued last night.
1t says:
1.-The members of the national union of
railwaymen broke their contracts and
stopped work without notice III complete

have on the persons and property OF or

numbers to great expense by leaving
them stranded without conveyances and
inflicted great losses upon many by pre-
venting them from reaching destinations.
The damages to which they are liable in
law are vastly greater than the amount
now being withheld.
If an early resumption of work oc-
ours. different considerations may arise.
In the meantime, the country is still
subject to unexampled injury by the
railWaymen's action and in these cir
cumstances. the government would not be
justified in handing over to the strikers
a sum which would be used for prolong-
ing a struggle undertaken without any
consideration for the welfare of the pub
lie and which is endaDgering the whole

Dominions Harmonic With U. S.
While not willing to vote for the
treaty without reservations, Senator
Thomas said he could see no great
danger to this country through the
distribution Of votes in the league as

The institutions of the United States

he was unwilling to say how far in the
presence of the correspondents.
