The third and largest convoy of
flour from the Victoria dock to the
Hyde Park distributing center was
oDerated successfully this morning.
The flour was transported in 22O lor-
ries, escorted by armored cars, troops
and police.
The committee in charge says Lon
dons -four supplies now are fully
secured, as 483 lorry loads have been
removed from the docks in three
days.
Supplies for the Hyde Park milk pool
are coming in so freelV by rail that
lorries are being released for other
purposes.
Kings Mediation Proposed.
An unofficial suggestion has now
been put forward that as neither side
will bulge from their declared inten-
tions, the King might usefully take a
hand in the dispute by calling con-
ference of the rival parties. 1t is
not apparent how the monarch could
take such a step without seeming
to disavow the government, which
has declared that the calling off of
the general strike is essential to
further peace discussions, but in some
quarters the belief seemed to prevail
that some way might be found to
have King George intervene.
Sir William Joynson Hicks, the
home secretary, says the government
will win. The Earl Of Balfour as
serts that the country is threatened
with revolution, and that success OIL
the strike would mean that the coun-
try would be ruled by relatively
small body of extremists, who re-
gard the trades unions as pohtlcai
instrument by which the industrial
system itself might be destroyed.
Cardinal Bourne has called upon
Catholics to side with the government.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, in
sermon which was broadcast, urged

Strikers Views Stated.
On the other hand. c. T. Cramp,
president of the National Union OF
Railwaymen, in an address to strikers,
declared it might be necessary TO
take further steps" to win victory for
the striking miners. j. II. Thomas,
secretary of the National Union OF
Railwaymen, reiterated that the strike
was not challenge to the constitu-
ton.
Secretary Cook of the Miners Fed
Grafton announced readiness to make
an honorable peace Immediately. All
we ask is living wage" he said.
Those persons who are opposing the
strike are making much capital out OF
the assertion that the strikers are try
ing to starve the country by prevent.
ing distribution of food. 1t is declared
by them that all sorts of obstruction
and intimidation have been used in
the neighborhood of the London docks
to prevent the withdrawal from stor-
age of stocks of flour badly needed for
public use. They assert that the call
ing out Of the flour mill workers at
Birkenhead is q further indication OF
this intention.

MRS. CONBOY QUITS
LABOR COMMITTEE
Charges Woman's Party Has
Violated Understanding
in Seeking Hearings.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 10.-Mrs. Sara
Conboy. representing the American
Federation of Labor, has withdrawn
from an advisory committee organized
by the Women's Bureau of the De
partment of Labor, charging the
National Woman's Party with viola
ton of an understanding.
Alice Paul, Maude Younger and
other leaders of the Woman's Party
have conducted propaganda against
pending legislation to regulate EN-
ployment of women, Mrs. Conboy said
in letter to William A. Green, presi'
dent of the Federation of Labor, made
public yesterday.
The party, Mrs. Conboy declares. sis
composed mostly of women who never
knew what it meant to work a day
in their lives"
Mr. Green approved the withdrawal
on the ground that the Federation OF
Labor refuses to be a party to the
destructive endeavors of the Woman's
Party"

By the Associated Press.
Withdrawal of Mrs. Sarah Conboy
of New York with two other mem
bers sharing her views, from the ad-
ViSory committee on special leglSla-
ton for women in industry appointed
by Miss Mary Anderson, director of
the Women'S S Bureau of the Labor De-
partment, was described today by
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont. president OF
the National Woman's Party, as AN
illuminating demonstration" of the
attitude of the American Federation
of Labor toward women.
Mrs. Conboy is secretary treasurer
of the United Textile Workers Union
and was appointed to the advisory
committee as a representative of the
labor federation. In withdrawing, she
and Miss Mabel Leslie of New York.

ems Trade Union League, and Mrs.
Maud Wood Park of Washington.
Legislative counselor of the National
League Of Women Voters, charged
bad faith on the part of the National
Woman's Party representatives, Alice
Paul, Maude Younger and Doris
Stevens.
Wanted Public Hearings.
The committee was appointed to
aid the bureau in studying the effects
of legislation for women, and those
withdrawing said they did so because
the representatives of the Woman's
Party, which is advocating an equal
rights amendment to the Constitu-
ton and is opposed to special laws
of this kind, insisted upon public hear
ings instead of scientific presentation
of the facts"
such hearings, while providing a
forum for the National Woman's S
Party at public expense" they said.
would make impossible the taking
Of testimony from working women
who favor the legislation, because to
testify In public would endanger their
jobs"
To this Mrs. Belmont replied:
ANY charge that the Woman S
Party is making use for propaganda
purposes OF the work of the advisory
committee comes strangely from the
American Federation of Labor, in
view of its own repeated use of Off
cials OF the women's bureau to further
it's opposition to efforts to equalize the
position in industry and tho profes-
sions."
The "real aim" Of the organized
labor leaders who oppose efforts to
help women compete on equal terms
with men in every field Of activity" "
she charged, is discrimination against
and not protection Of women"
