ASKS LLOYD GEORGE TO
 SUMMON PARLIAMENT

London, Oct. William C. Adam. son, chairman of the labor party in parliament and leader of the opposition there, has teIegraphed to Prime Min iSter Lloyd George asking that parlia- ment be summoned immediately.
 (Repeated suggestions have been made that parliament should be sum- mOned to advise the government re- garding the present railway strike, but the prime minister. up to the present, has refrained from calling the mem bers together. Mir AdamSop, who is a miner, heads the delegation of a bout 50 laborites. the strongest anti-govern- ment delegation in parliament)
 Premier Lloyd George today signified his willingness to meet delegates from the transport workers. whose repre- sentatives were in session during the early afternoon. to decide whether strike of their 325. 900 members should be called to support the railway mems nationwide strike.
 At the conclusion of the first session of the Transport Fedora ton meeting. which adjourned shortly before 2 o'clock until ] D. n1., it was announced by Robert Williams. general secretary of the transport workers organization. that the delegates had unanimously re- rmed that the strike was purely trades union affair regarding wages and conditions of work.
 It has been asserted by the British press that the railway strike had po- litical motives behind it, and Premier Lloyd George in a statement on Sum day last declared the railway men were being used by extremists for sinister purposes
 It was arranged that II delegates from the transport conference meet the premier a o'clock.
 When the delegation visited the pre- mier it also met George N. Barnes, minister without portfolio: Sir David Sha ck1eton. perma nent secretary of the labor minister. and Sir Robert Stevenson Horne. the minister of labor. The conference was not attended by representatives of the railroad men. The workers who participated were acting as intermediates in an effort to bridge the gulf between the railway strikers and the government.
 In announcing that he would vote for reservations that would give the league ga chance to live and America ator Mclean of Connecticut said if the senate rejected them he would vote ''to return the whole of the me dieval volume to it's authors and the hope that it's revisers will look for peace where peace may be found"

There was some discussion as to how the amendments would be voted on. whether separately 0 rin block Some senators said there would be virtually no debate. but speedy action. inasnuch every sen ator knew where he stood and was an xious for the country to know through his vote
