IN BRITAIN PARALYZES INDUSTRY
"tungiaiul's Black Saturday" -Public Opinion Solid in Its Con-
demnation of the Haste With Which Negotiations
Were Called Offs
A despatch from London says:- meretal renaissance. Now comes a war
which threatens to bring the trade of
the country to a complete standstill.
London, Sept. 23.- With Over half
a million men on -strike, British sadl-
way services were.to-day ,paralyzed
from Land's End, to John o'Groat's.
In Ireland theme is neither stoppage
nor even interruption, Lloyd George
addressed to Carnarvon, where he was
to have s'polcgnto-clay, a message in
which he asctibe,s the light and un
jttstified way in which the'•stnike woo
entered upon to an aliarcldst con-
spa u:y..
"The Government has reason to
lieve," he 'wrote, "that the strika.1a
been engineered for some time by a
small but active body of men who
wrought tirelessly and ir+eiciuqusly to
exploit the Labor'organizations o$ this
country for subverave ends. I am con-
vinced that the vest majority of trade
unionists 'of the land :are opposed" to
this anarchist conspiracy." •
For months past there have been
sporadic strikes in every industry.
When one strike ended another was
called. It is pntendeel that revoltt-
Cionsry elements had 'planned a de-
liberate campaign ta.ruin the country,
and that this was their strategy.
Hence the Guverfunent's decision to
inalce an issue of the railroad question.
Lloyd George drives home the point
that the railwaymen's Executive Com:
mittee broke off negotiations and has-
tily declared an immediate strike by
stating that the Govermnent begged
the men's leaders to postpone the
striate, were it only, for two or three
clays.
eiespatchea from the provinces arrly-
iirig, in London since midnight on Sat-
urditiy indicate that the call for the
'railway strike has been generally
responded to, although, in some centres.,
'with reluctance.
Public opinion, while not very well
• 'informed on the merits of the dispute
Ipetween the National Union of Rall-
waymen and the Government, is at
present solid in its cordomnation of
the precipitancy with which the crisis
has been carried to ahead.,,:-
aEhgklnci's Black Saturday" h • the;
spinds head in one morning news=;
paper, and in ninny respects the lino ,
summarizes the preponderant feeling
•of'the moment.
1)uning the last few weeks opti-
mistic views had begun to prevail re-
garding post-war conditions in this
country. Production generally had
increased; the output of coal, partieu-i
laxly, had gone up.• Though much un -I
rest and dissatisfaction ;still endured,
:signs had been noted of a general tend -i
eney to settle down, and, in fact, to'
buckle down to hard work, which weal
required to start the nation afresh on
the road to prosperity. •
Semen redactions, indeed, were be-
ing`made that the temper of the coup-
•try gave promise that the worst fears,
entertained about difficulties ahead
•during the coining winter would come
to naught.
The railway strike comes upon the
public not only as a bolt from the
blue, but tae a •told 'douche` upon the
hopes of an early industrial anti. corn -

A despatch from London says: -
Curiously enough, nobody in London
thinks he is a profiteer. Always the
profiteer is the man on the next street,
away off over yonder, like the desert
mirage. However; the daily mill of
the London Police Courts grind out
fairly good imitations.
A baker.was fined $60C for expos-
ing for sale thirty-four loaves of
bread each two ounces loss than the
regulation weight. A butcher was
fined $100 for selling imported mutton
at the home -killed price, and making
an overcharge of eight cents on four
lamb chops. A saloon keeper was
fined $15 and $10 costs because his
barmaid charged thirty cents instead
El' twenty-five cents for two large
glasses of stout.
The recent slight fall in prices is
largely due to a clever journalist writ-
ing an article in his paper, which
other papers copied, sayring prices
were down. The public went forth
after rending, and all over the city
demanded reductions which the mer-
chants had to grant.

A despatch from London says: -
Canadian canned fruit repttesentatives
operating here report that distntbutors
are ready to take all they can offer.
The British public is found to be
willing to purchase a Dominion pro -
duet to which the diversity and excel-
lence are a revelation to most people,
because they have never seen it be-
fore, save in its aliening but unattain-
able farm in windows of 'the Govern-
ment offices.
A large distributor states that, as
50 per cent. of these goods are sold to
restaurants, careful grading of fruits
is essential, and the question has been
raised whether a system of Govern-
ment inspection would not prove ad-
vantageous as a guarantee of quality
and a safeguard to the reputation of
Dominion canned goods, which Intl -
dentally are a valuable form of inter -
Imperial education, besides being an
excellent advertisement for the ex-
porting Province.

ception that the hunting expedition,

ing, has been cut out, and instead the
mining camps of Cobalt and Timmins
will be visited.
After leaving Montreal his Royal

Some Important Man'ufactorie5
May Have to Close Down.
London, Sept. 28, -One of the meet
serious features of the strike is that
'some of the most important manufac-
turing centres have only a few days'
supply of coal and may be forced, to
shut down their works.
The Coal Controller has issued
orders stopping all foreign shipments
of coal at Cardiff. Rio object is to
conserve all coal for use in this coun-
try. The Shipping Controller, Sir J.
MacLay, leasisuued the following ap-
peal :
"One in three of the 'popu'lation of
this county lives directly by the sea.
The whole population is dependent on
our mercantile marine. At the out-
break of the war all 'combined to save
the country from disaster.
"In the present crisis it is essential
to •conserve (o,al and keep shipping
running. I oonifidently call on owners,
officers and men alike to recreate the
spirit in which they faced the •crisis
of 1914."
BRITISH WITHDRAW
FROM ARCHANGEL
Bolsheviks Having Lost Corn
Country May be Forced
to Make Terms.
A. 'despatch from London says:-
'Unless the unforeseen should inter-
fere with Lord Rawlinson's plans,
evacuation of the British forces from
Archangel should be completed by the
end of the month, Major-General Sir
Frederick Maurice' says -in the Daily
News. It will then remain to look
after the withdrawal from Murmansk,
which is much the simpler problem of
the two.
He adds that the "immediate aban-
donment of the Russian adventure is
simply not possible unless the Allied
powers agree to come to terms with
the Bolsheviks," It seems possible
since they, have lost the corn country
of Ukraine, that the Bolsheviks may
be reduced to extremities by cold and
hunger. Gen. Maurice says that, short
of some such development on which
there are no solid reasons Inc count-
ing, there is no probability of obtain-
ing a settlement in Russia by present
methods within the next six months.
"That is where we stand to -day," he
says finally.

BRITISH STRIKE BARS •
TROOPS REPATRIATION
London, Sept. 28. -The railway
strike is causing grave concern at
Argyll House, because its eontinuance
must seriously dislocate the repatria-
tion program. It was ,stated to -day
that already 500 Canadian soldiers
had been held up. As the Imperial
Government is in the sane dilemma,
it is anticipated that the benefit of any
transport arrangements which they
may make for Imperial troops will be
shared by the Canadians:
