The names OF Chase. Burns and

Chase was said 10 have approached
Attell asking him If he could place

Cabinet Firm in Determination to

Governments Proposal for Guar

LONDON. Oct 22.-Britain IS stand
ing on the abyss OF catastrophe
which threatens the nations indus
trial life with complete tic-up in the
threatened strike of railway men in
sympathy with tho coal miners.
There Is general condemnation
throughout the United Kingdom ut
the hurried ultimatum OF the 600.o0O
railway men. now dominated by eS-
tremists, who have hurled the threat
at Lloyd Georges head that, unless
the government surrenders uncondi-
tionally 10 the miners. not a wheel
will turn in the nation"
The unions have never frightened
Lloyd George. He and his Cabinet
have calmly and firmly reiterated
that they were open to negotiation.
but only on the basis OF the gov
ernmenrs proposals for guaran
teed output to go hand in hand with
increased wages. The ultimatunn.
then. is final effort to frishten 4
government which refuses to be
frightened.
Nenlire Eject of Dcfcnt.
The miners and railway men real
ize that their defca; would ire
trievably damage the cause OF union
labor and shatter its prestige. At
the same time, radicals argued that
the kill or cure" method would
shorten the length OF the strike and
thus benefit all labor.
But the most sinister phase Is the
belief that the out-and-out Reds have
seized what they regard as the most
favorable moment to launch revo-
lutionary movement. And while this
may be discounted in some quarters
it is a very real fear 10 many who
have watched the extremists gradual
IS gaining control over British in
dustry.
The press Is maintaining an air OF
caution. I; dcplores, almost unani-
mously, the provocative hastiness OF
the railway workers. but ii Is careful
20 refrain from too strong denuncia-
tion Of labor as whole, realizing
that the situation is too serious for
threats or recriminat ton. 1t also
unanimously implorcs tho government
not to permit the ultimatum to in
terfere with the course OF ncgotia-
tions.
EARLY Developments Anticipated.
Premier Lloyd George made a state
ment TO a deputation that called upon
him. in which he declared that peace
may he brought about in the coal
strike within few hours or it may
develop into one OF the greatest
struggles that tho country has ever
known"
However. the strike situation to-
night was considered more hopeful
by the fact that tho reoce couvcrsa- :

the miners leaders are continuing z

velopments. however. AT a joint
conference tomorrow between the

is hoped peace may spring. it is cx-
