London, April 16. = Announcement
that the railway mems strike set fol
last night had been Cancelled, was mad,
yesterday afternoon by j. ii. Thomas
general secretary of the railway men.
union.
The transport workers strike alst
has been called off, Mr.. Thomas an
nounced.
LAS far as the railway men and
transport workers + concerned, the
strike is Cancelled" he said.
No explanation was Immediately
available of the railroad mems action,
but it was thought in some quarters
that it might indicate a split in the
triple alliance.
Announcement that the triple strike
WAS off came a few minutes after Pre-
mier Lloyd George had announced in
the House of Commons that the miners
had refused to open negotiations for IA
settlement of their strike on the basis
that had been suggested.
The calling of a conference of rep
resentatives of the miners from all the
coal fields at a date to be fixed later
was decided upon by the executive Of
the miners federation. 1t took this
action after hearing the decision of
the railway men and transport workers
TO cancel their sympathetic strike.
Frank Hodges, the miners secretary,
when questioned regarding this deci-
sion, said it meant that the miners
strike would continue.
IF | had resigned | should nOt be
giving you this report" he added, re-
ferring to rumors that he had been
as representative of the union.
The prime minister read a letter
from the miners federation stating
that the only condition on which a tenn
porary settlement could be reached
was one which must follow concession
Of the two principles of a national
board and a national pool.
The premier said that upon the ques-
ion Of a national settlement of wages
he government already had expressed
a favorable opinion, but on the ques-
lion Of a national pool ii regarded such
a pool as injurious to the whole coun-
because it involved the re-establish-
nent of government control. The gov
eminent declined TO accept this, he
said.
The breaking away from the triple
alliance of the railway men and the
transport workers on the miners re-
of the moderate course recon-
nended by Mr.. Hodges with a view to
a temporary adjustment of
he wage dispute, seems TO have
brought matters to a crisis where ii

way or another.
Mr.. Hodges, it is declared, was Sc

Although the general situation is
considered to have greatly improved,

measures. military or otherwise.
The mine owners issued another
tatement repeating their previous
opinion that the wages of the

Washington, April lS.-Legislation to

is recommended by the Federal Trade
Commission in a report on the INDUS

I'm open price associations which

1T is suggested means must be
found TO reduce costs of necessities,
such as fuel and housing, before other

1T should be said,' the report con-
cludes, that following the disordered

that normal conditions will be the more
quickly restored IL the producer, the

and the retailer will each share at once
in the unavoidable loss and, further,
that any effort by any element to place
its share of the cOmmOn loss on the
shoulders of others, and particularly
