BRITISH GENERAL
STRIKE is ENDED
Termination of General WaIkout
Declared Absolutely Uncondi-
tionaI-Board to be Named.

London-The great British general
strike has been called off. Announce
ment of the settlement was made from
Downing street, where the general
council of the Trades Union Congress
met Premier Baldwin and his cabinet.
1t Is authoritatively stated that the
termination of the general strike was
absolutely unconditional. It Is under
stood that neither the minters' atti-
tude nor the effect upon the miners
strike was mentioned in the 80 min
ute interview between the general
council of the Trades Union Congress
and the cabinet in Downing street.
Telegraphic instructions calling off
the strike were being sent to the un-
ions through out the country by
the leaders. This action was taken,
Chairman Arthur Pugh said, in order
to enable resumption of the negotia-
lions for settlement of the miners
grievances, which negotiations the
government had declared could not
be resumed while the general strike
lasted. The Trades Union Congress
forthwith dispatched kilograms to this
effect to the affiliated unions through
out the country.
