RAIL SERVICE HIT
BY BRITISH STRIKE
$1,000 Enginemen Reported

Er the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 21.-England's g
| main railways were run on skeleton
schedule today as the result Of a
! strike of locomotive crews which took
effect at midnight The strike, called
by the Associated Society of Locomo-
tive Engineers and Firemen after an
overwhelming vote Of its $1,000 mem
bers. against acceptance of reduc-
ton in pay decided upon by the rail-
way wages board. is not supported
by the National Union of Railway
men, the big nationwide organiza-
ton, nor are the railway clerks in
yolved.
The locomotive men belonging to
the Associated Society were claimed
by that organization to be coming
out solidly," and an early result of
their action was to bring about wide
curtailment of train service and re-
sort to motor cars by the suburban
! population in getting to work. The
; railway companies express the hope
{ that they will get q better service
: going in the course of day or. so.
and they congratulated themselves
on having delivered London its milk
: today.
There was reported to be some dis
! satisfaction among locomotive men
who are members of the National
; Union of Railwaymen over the atti-
tude of their organization, but the
majority of the 10000 or 10000 en-
| ginemen who belong to this associa-
| ton are declared to be obeying or
| ders to remain at work.
The first immediate effect OF the
strike around London was constd-
erable increase in motor traffic.
Subul ban lines. electrified recently,
were not affected. and the under
ground lines were running with full
services. At the big London railway
, terminals few, of the many usual
I long distance trains got away.
: Reports show the strike to be ef-
, fective in the busiest industrial CEN
ters.
Is SO far most of the GOAL traffic has
been cleared between the collieries
and the docks
At Glasgow all the locomotive men
are out, and it is rumored that the
engineers Of the National Union of
Railwaymen there intend striking in
sympathy. Suburban traffic Of other
of the Scotch towns also has been
+, tied up, causing much Inconvenience.

that the soviet government is respon-
sible for revolutionary propaganda III

Some Data Confidential.
Secretary Hughes sent tho COM
mittee a mass of State Department
Information, some of it confide initial.
In a letter to Chairman Borah, he
said the documents included the de-

aimed at the overthrow of the United
States government"
Translations OF many editorials
from Russian newspapers. official
statements, and accounts of the Rus

asked II it would not be equally true
that the soviet government controlled
the party, but this was denied by Mr.

locking officers Of the communist
party and the soviet government.
Even the Russian courts. Mr.. Kelly
said, are shown to be dominated by
the central control committee of the
communist party. Senator Borah
suggested that many communists
had been tried and shot, and under
questioning Mr.. Kelly said he knew
OF no instances were executions OF
communists had been prevented by
that party.

quoted Zinovieff as saying. We do

showing that the political bureau
