Labor ar
In England
Is Averted
Unexpected and Sensational
Split in Ranks Of Powerful
Triple Alliance Changes
Rail Men Cancel Strike

London. April l5.--An unexpected
and sensational split in the ranks
OF the powerful triple alliance OF
labor this afternoon completely
changed the complexion Of the
blackest industrial crisis Great Brit
ain had ever faced and averted the
projected strike OF railway men ana
transport workers in sympathy with
the striking miners, set for 10 o'clock
tonight.
Events developed with such sud-
den and startling changes as to leave
the public in maze.
e The railway men and transport
workers leaders refused to go ahead
with the strike after the miners had
failed TO follow compromise sugges
tions Of their secretary, Frank
Hodges.
The miners asserted that Seere-
tary Hodges had conceded too much
in offering to discuss the question
of wages without raising immediate
iy the controversial issue of ma
tional pool, while the railroad men
and the transport workers declared
the proposition was reasonable and
that the miners should renew nego-
tixtions.
Z The miners remained obdurate and
the open breach resulted.
Rail Men Quit.
Announcement that the railway
mems strike set for 10 o'clock to-
night had been Cancelled was made
shortly before 4 O'Clock this alter
noon by ]. Fl. Thomas, general Sec
retary of the Railway Mems union
The transport workers strike also
has been called off, Mr.. Thomas an
nounced.
"As far as the railway men and
transport workers are concerned the
strike is Cancelled" he said.
Premier Lloyd George announced
in the House OF Commons this after
noon that the miners had refused to
reopen negotiations for settlement,
OF their strike on the basis that had
been suggested.
INC prime minister read letter
IIOIu Tue fHfUCIS ituCldtiOh st1tiiS
that the only condition on which a
temporary settlement could be
reached was one which must follow
concession OF the two principles Of

wpooI.
1t developed that Mr.. Thomas this
morning informed the miners he be-
lieved they should accept the pro-
posals of their general secretary.
Frank Hodges, for a resumption OF
the negotiations and that under the
circumstances the executive of the
railway men would not feel justified
in calling out It's men.
The executive. of the transport
workers took the same view.
Rumor Hodges Has Quit.
Persistent rurnors that Frank

Bolsheviki Flee Kronstadt,
London Dispatch Declares
Especial Cable 10 The Herald }

LONDON. March 10. = Dispatches
from the Russian border tonight
indicate that Kronstadt is entirely
in the hands of the rebels, and that
the fighting, for the possession Of
Petrograd still, continues.
1t is too early to say definitely
whether the Soviet forces have been
driven from the former capital.
Official reports reaching the Brit
ish foreign once from the Baltic
states assert that Gen. Kovlovsky,
leader of the rebels, is marching on
Petrograd to reinforce the anti
Bolshevik troops in the city.
Central News dispatches from
Helsingfors credit the Bolshevikl
under the personal leadership OF
Minister Of War Trotzky with re-
capturing the fortress OF Krasnays
Gorka. on a hill on the mainland
south OF Kronstadt.
A Bolshevik radio dispatch from
Moscow says:
THE revolt forces us to consider
most seriously the internal situa
tion in Soviet Russia"
This is understood here to refer
to the demand. OF the moderate So
cialists that they be represented in
the government.
Opinion in both London and Paris
is that. although the present upris-
ings are undoubtedly serious. there
seems to be little prospect at pres
ent of. a general overthrow of the
Bolsheviki.

public prosecutor has filed charges
of graft against the builders of the
congressional palace, known locally
as the Palace of Gold" and he de.
mands that they be fined 100000
pesos (normaliy about $21,120. .000).
He alleges that there has been
systematic fraud in detailing the
cost of construction and in the ac-
counting. The contract provided
that the building was to cost $780,
600 pesos. but it has already cost
more than 100000 and It is not

AMERICAN GOODS
CLUTTER UP PORT

and Chicago Tribune.)
BUENOS AYRES. March 10
Several organizations of importers
and shipping agencies. have ad-
dressed a note to the government
stating that business conditions
generally, and consequently the ma
tons economic situation, are preju-
diced by the port congestion, which
they blame principally on the huge
accumulation of rejected American
goods.
They suggested several methods
for relieving the congestion which
would permit freer movement of
goods. One suggestion was that all
the unperishable goods be removed
from the warehouses and piled in
vacant lots, where millions of dol
lars worth of American products
have already been dumped.
The present crisis is not ,ex-
pected to lift until the American
goods are liquidated, as their pres
ence has a depressing effect on the
market. since IL is known that they
must be sold at any price obtain
able. which would be lower than
the amount asked for goods now
offered for sale in iBuenos Ayres.
