STRONG MOVE
FOR PEACE IN
ENGLAND FELT
1Ru Disnatch A. P. wlrel

by DBpaJch a. T. WHel
LONDON, May 11.-Al-
though an undercurrent Of
peace was noticeable in
London today and there
was much talk of the pos
sibility Of an early peace the
government and leaders OF
labor did not relax their
nneasures-on the one side
to overcome the gigantic
Labor's official mouth
on the other to carry on the
general strike which is just
beginning it's second week.
Laborer official mouth
piece, the British Worker,
announced the spread Of
the strike, to the men in the
shipbuilding trades. Men
working in government
dock yards, admiralty es-
tablishments and govern
ment engineering depart
ments, however, are not af-
fected.
This is in part "the second line
of defense" which the labor leaders
promised several days ago would, if
necessary be brought into the field,
and, in making reference to the
cali the British Worker says: These
men have awaited their Instructions
'impatiently, and throughout the coun-
try they have received their march
ing orders with enthusiasm and
sense of relief"
In addition to the men o6eying this
call to reinforce the gallant first
line, others are out because of the
refusal to work with "blacklegs,
or because the pressure of the strike
is closing down factories.
This was one of the outstanding
events of an eventful day, and it
means that not less than 800, 900
engineers and ship builders have join
ed forces with other industrial work
ers standing out against the gov
ernment's warning that the general
strike must be called off before
negotiations for the settlement OF
the miners strike are possible.
Justice Astburys pronouncement IN
the chancery division that the general
strike was illegal was viewed as
highly important and was utilized
by sir John Simon, the former homo
secretary, in the house to support
previous contention that the men on
strike had violated the law and could
be held responsible for the damage
ensuing from the strike.
Peace activities were of livelier
and more extensive character than
on any day since the men withdrew

der for the first time, was rejected,
but leaders, still at sea as to what
the lineup will be on the three pro-

the voting.
During the amendment stage, the
house is operating under rules re-
curing only 100 on the floor for a
quorum, and preventing roll call votes
on modification proposals. AT the
outset of today's session, the Haugen
bill did suffer a reverse, however,
when Representative Tilson, the re-
publican leader, announced his oppo-
sition to it.
He advocated passage of the Tinch-
er credit measure, which with the
Curtis Aswell commodity marketing
proposal in is position to be Offered
as a substitute to the bill sponsored
by Chairman Haugen.
In rejecting amendments, the house
voted down, 60 to 21, one by Repre-
sentative Begg, republican, Ohio to
have members of the proposed fed
eral farm advisory council appointed
by the secretary of agriculture in

tween carriers and their employees

The measure now goes to President

general principle of the legislation

tected Whether the bill does that
formed the chief point of controversy
in both the house and the senate.
The proposal was drafted by repre-

strongly opposed by the national man
ufacturers association and some of
the smaller railroads
Half a dozen amendments were Of
fered today, but all were voted down
by overwhelmingly majority. After

tor Norbeck proposed to amend the

sequently there is strong hope in some
quarters that the strike may be called

While it is impossible to obtain any
authoritative statement on what pass

dent that the matters under discussion
were of great consequence. If there
were no other grounds for this deduc-
ton, the fact that the premier and
several other ministers, as we'll as
some prominent officers of the labor
department remained at the prime
ministers residence until after l

would be sufficient to show the i'm
