nine days of the general strike, it has
developed for the time being into a
hand-to.hand conflict to determine
whether organized labor or the EN-.
ployers shall rule.
Instead of the resumption of nor.
mad condition an announcement came
from the government that the emer-
gency food service would be main
tained.
Food conveys with armed escorts
continued to pour through London to-
day, and the scenes of yesterday were
| repeated throughout the country, with
the populace still walking.
The statement was interpreted by
close followers of the situation as a
direct warning to the employers and
the government that reported con-
ditions on the question Of re-employ-
ment would be not acceptable in any
sense to the trades union congress.
The statement was taken to intimate
that il the employers insisted on their
stand. the congress would be forced
to offer resistance.
The trades union congress called
off the strike in full confidence that
the premier meant what he said con-
cerning conditions regarding the re-
sumption of work and would use his
influence so peace might be pre-
served" the T. L. c. statement de-
clared.
Peace depends upon the attitude
of the employers, who, according TO
reports throughout the country, are
attempting victimiZation. II one class
OF employers thinks it can disrupt
and degrade the trades unions, then
the situation is grave indeed. The
only solution is peace honorably
kept by both. sides"
ThA SO Eof "A
calling off of the general strike was
no indication of weakness on the part
of labor and insists that If peace is to
be maintained Premier Baldwin must
back up his public speeches, IF not
let there be no miStake-trades union
ism will not stand idly by. Trade
unionism is not beaten and not
broken, but -as reinforced by the alb
solute solidarity which the general
strike has revealed" the statement
says. The whole purpose of Premier
Baldwins efforts to bring peace will
be null and void If attacks on the
trades unions do not cease"
Rail Workers Warned.
The statement also addresses an ex-
hortation to the railwaymen on roads
which have offered the men individual
agreements.
Sign no individual agreements" it
said. Consult your own officials and
follow their instructions. The unions
will protect you"
The statement says that kilograms
have been sent throughout Great Bril-
tain of nearly 200 general secretaries
declaring that it is imperative that
agreements existing prior to the gen.
eral strike be maintained.
Employers who are trying to compel
the men to sign "humiliating docu-
ments and beat down wages are max
ing a mistake If they only realize it,
the statement adds.
| Reports from provincial centers in
dicate that the workers are by nc
means unanimous in the decision to
go back to their jobs. In many places
the strikers have decided to stay out
until they can get better terms from
their individual employers.

He never is so likely to overdo the
process of training. Il mild sort OF
training, as he is to abandon his self
imposed task. There is little chance
for mischief. In any event, when he
wishes to know how TO train to play
base ball there is no harm in giving
him some hints that may be OF use to
him. and included in these hints are
other hints of more or less use that
may have to do with the kind of base
ball that he learns to play.
Boys Often are Snubbed.
The boy in base ball is one OF the
finest chaps in the world If he is ham
died properly, and if he is encouraged
to do right in Il physical sense as we'll
as in a sporting sense. We have not
always been as kind to the boy as we
might have been when it comes TO
sports. Sometimes the boy who is
all earneStneSs in his desire TO add to
his fund of information about games
has been snubbed rather short by his
big brother. who is 20 all concerned
in his own Importance.
Now and then the boy has been self
impelled to do things, while trying TO
learn how to play base ball and how
to take care of his anatomy, that he
might not have done if he had not ac-
cepted 50 literally the words hastily
tossed to him by a big brother or the
big brother of some one else.
Elders Are Thoughtless.
He has overdone and has not had
a whit of enjoyment out of that which
should have given him pleasure.
Nothing was done to tease nlnl-ih
that careless manner Of replying TO
him. II was thOughtlesSnesS, Tor the
older boy or adviser did not realize
that the boys nature Is so very trust
ing. If he likes big fellow" he is
ant to believe every word his idol tells
him, and when he finds that he has
been deluded he not only loses conn
dence in his adviser. but he loses ms
enjoyment in those games when
would have been good for him.
MANY a boy has been sickened of
base ball because he has been advised
in the wrong way or has not received
any information that would be OF
value to him.
Should HumOr Youngsters.
Ofrhand it might be said that there
is no reason why the boy should train
to play base ball. There isn't if we
look at the matter from the view
point of cold -blooded necessity. But
if he thinks that he should train and
he is asking for information as TO
what he should do in order that he
may keep from OVERRIDING or from
straining his muscles while he still
is growing, why not humor him?
The American boy is too good Kid
to overlook, in the building-up process
of his system, his mind and the
amusement enjoyed by him in games
that are suited to him.
Hence in this series some of the
odd and charming questions that boys
have asked from time to time are an
swered for their benefit and the bene-
fit of others. too. perhaps.
