STRIKE SPREADING  !f B H  mB'B I 25,000MEN AFFECTED N. E. Traffic Dislocated CLERKS AS FIREMEN Late cm Monday night 3,OCO men, shunters, engineers, and others, in the service of the North-Eastern Railway Company came out On strike in Newcastle, Gateshead, and dis- trict. owing to a dispute with the company. It is understood the dispute is a sequel to the trouble of last year prior to the sig-ning ()f the agreement. Sunderland goods yard men decided to strike on Tuesday. Traffic was largely die- ()l'í\"alllSQt! ae a consequence, and there is a lK»ssib-iiity oi the disaffection spreading. The railway company hare if-sued. a notice g they cannot undertake the responsi- bility for any delay which may result In transit or delivery of merchandise. A iuither notice issued by the company says the passenger train service may be con-j fcicVrably curtailed. Tiie strikers held a meeting on Tuesday at wiu-jh messages promising to work were J'ea:1 from other large Northern centres, in- cluding' Sunderland, the Hartlepools, Bray- (jon, Blyth, Percy Main, and Tyne Dock. The decline to assign a definite reason for the *'ir»ke. but declare it is a protest against the generally tyrannical methods of the officials.. No meeting witli the company's representa- tives has yet been arranged., but the chief officials have gone to Newcastle to deal with tile matter.. Cause of the Dispute The strike of shunters, engineers, and others eonnecled with the goods yard traffic on the North-Lantern Railway its causing consider- able inconvenience at several Tynesiae places, and if continued any leng-th of time will have •serious consequences ou coal shipments. The strike has already developed in extent 81nee Monday, but the men entertain hopes of an amicable settlement, and the railway officials are prepared to receive the men's representatives on the matter. Oil Tuesday the manager of the North, K a stern Eaiiway issued a statement stating that, the meu left work purely because a had ehimter who had been transferred from the East end to the West end of the sidings at Gateshead refused to work there, and was accordingly sent home. Thereupon mauy others followed. The company hope the men will realise their untenable position and •teturn to work, otherwise other arrangements sill be made. Strike Becoming General A telegram received late on Tuesday night from Newcastle states that the rail way in en and Hartlepool have decided to oea-sc forthwith in support of the men 011 strike. The men on strike, held a meeting on Tues- day in the Temperance Institute, Newcastle, and t.hr, company's officio, waited at the receive any deputation that might he appointed, and the maiI U ge?. the company, Mr. Buttery,'orth, tra-velled to Newcastle from York for the same purpose. h ieared that by the morning the strike Upon the fystem will be general. It is stated tha.t clerks are taking the places of firemen on the engines. Meetings were also held at Sunderland and ai, perhaps, the largest of them, the audience being good, station employes at Wonkweartcouth, it was resolved that other sections of Sunderland North Eastern Railway Ctomjjany employee be aisked to cease work in support of those already out. The resolu. 1 ion passed v;;w, "J.IhLtt this meeting of ail jrradei of railwaymen fully appreciate the aof-ion of the møn of (Tat-eshead in ceasing "w<»rk as a protest against the tyrannical action of one official at Gateshead, and that wo pledge cur support to the men of G-ate»- head in their efforts, and also call upon the ruen ia other departments to cease work at onoe." A strike committee was also appointed to carry out arrangements. The passenger, locomotive, and mineral departments will thus be affected. On Tuesday nilt the parcel varimen of the Sunderland Station ceased working, and there was, consequently, no Idelivcl-y or collection of paj'cels. A; a meeting nn Tuesday the Hartlepool JTtilva.yaen decided to cease work imm> dia-teiy. The decision affects all grades, and altogether 1,000 men are involved, including c- r goods, loeomcitivc, and dock departments. A complete disorganisation of the t rallio is anticipated. The men of Heddon (Joe,do Station, Sunderland, a-feso decided to cease work to-day, and the passenger depart- ment. s,.af- i were considering the matter until a la.te hour. r",hz- meetings were held on Tuesday night with ■% similar object and result in other r-iacej.

TRAFFIC DISLOCATED Great disio.ea.ioii of traffic was caused this; morning in Hartlepool as a result, of the j railway-men's' strike, arid shipping is j seriously affected. This -morning only two! trains for the south and oiue for the north! had got away. I The Strike Spreading j A. Darlington correspondent wires that ths Gtrike on the Nc-rth Eastern Eailway is ttiil spreading, but Darlington is not affected. Tjie drivers and ftvement at Middlesbrough refused to start to-day. and tho eastern (ventral pans of the system are no.v almost at a stand still. Trains from Newcastle t.o York and other towns north cf Darlington are most uncertain. In Spite of the A.S R.S.? I Fortunately (sayp the FinuLici.&I Tiinea "), there are several reasons for believing1 thai the trouble is et-rictly local in oharaoter, and there is no indication that the present move- ment ie being organised or even encouraged I, by the men's vsoeiety. It ie -more than probable that this rupture has occurred ;in spite of the Amalgamated fcooiefcy of Railway ♦Servants, which has always been recog- nised by the North Eastern Bail way Com- pany..When the Conciliation Boards wer-a set up by M' Lloyd George the North Eastern was left out of the arrangement. In May, 1907, Mr. Richard Bell in the Railwaymen's Charter m'ade tHe following statement.:— V; e are told, if the companies recognised the men's representative*, thai, it would interfere with the management and disci- pline of the men. Thp North Eastern is the only great trunk line that hats recog- nised us and has <kme all the negotiations I through the society for o«r ten years. ¡ There have been no complaints from that company of interference with the ma-u-age- menst or dieoipline of the mem.
Attack on Federation j
Attack on Federation j DENUNCIATION BY A CHECKWEIGHER Mr. Tom Eynon, check-weigher, Tredegar, paid his s-e-eond visit to Aberda-rp cn Tuesday evening to address a meeting held under the auspices of the recently formed Wagemen's Association. As on the former occasion, -Air. Eynon, who during the last couple of months has become a prominent figure in the South Wales coalfield through his vigorous denun- ciation of the Miners' Federation, was sub- looted to a. considerable amount of interrup- tion. Mr. John Palmar (chairman of the new Union) presided, and said the object of the ro.eating was not to shew the benefits of the Federation, but, rather, its defects. They (the daymen) were not non-Unionists, but organisers. Mr. W. Evans repudiated the idea tha.t the day men endeavoured to spread non-Unionism In the Aberdare district. Just because they (the day men; had dared to think for them- selves and expose the doings of the "old Federation" they -were dubbed non-Unionists. Mr..stanton and other people had been cry- 1ng that the Federation should be reformed, but, with all due respect to them, he (the speaker) maintained that the tac-k would be an impassible one. If proof were desired of this they only required to follow the article:; which appeared in the Western Mail from time to time. Mr. Eynon said they were induced to believe that the term "non-Unionist" was synonymous with something of a "devilish" naturo. Even Mabon was once a non-Unionist. Had it not been necessary to force him into the Federation P Mr. Eyaan went on to say that the workmen had been sold, on the ground that ilieir wishes had not been 'enforced in connection with the last agree- j mem. To talk about the benefits of the Federation was nothing less than a, cheap (-I-tp-t.i-a,p to tickle the workmen. By means of an ordinary idackboai'd Mr. Eynon set about showing how the iicoteh miners had been sold; and any leader who did not know tha.t these miners had been deceived was either a knave or a fool. (Cheers.) And it had bean the sam, e in t.ne case of the Welsh colliers, because their leaders had signed an | agrreemont which did net comprise a minimum wage, payment fur- small coal, and the iecogniitic>ii of abnormal places. Mr. D. Watts Morgan and his "cheap" information might go to the dogs; for there could be no doubt that was absolutely impossible to reform the Miners' Federation of South Wales. r was <)nj?? feasible to reform the Fed?ta- bon from the outside and not from tho ? inside. Mr. Walter Lewis, the agent for the district in which ho (Mr. Efnoii/ lived, once' urged upon the ruen that they fcbouhl receive I six turns for five, otherwise war ohouid h8: waged. But he (Mr. J?ewM) had tinoe signed the agreement which recognised no such con- dition. Mr. Eynon was bombarded with questions, and the proceedings were marked with con- siÜoenl,blo cOl1fn,io!1, Questioner: If you had had fr. Lewis's job you would not have been here to-night, wouki you ? Some disorder followed the query, and fr, Eynon's reply was not audible to the press. When peace had been restored the Chair- man said they had men representing them who earned more money in a day than they themselves earned in a, week. A Voice: Yoa (meaning Mr. Eynon) tried for the post of a miners' agent in the lihym- j ney Vally, The Chairman: Mr. Eynon is not going to talk about that. Mr. Eynon (sotto voce to the chairman): say that; you are courting disaster. A Voice: If wo were sold, who goL the price? Mr. Eyntfn (amid some tumult): I did not mean that the men were sold for filthy lucre, but for the sake of peace and political pur- poses. Mr. Brace let. us down because Mr. Winst.on Churchill and the Board of Trade were pulling at him. They were paid in that way. Leaders and the "Western Mail A Voice: One of the speaks is has referred t.C) the n'cstcrn JIu; T. tha.: the right thing to do when we tail. aOcut liberty and free- dom ? Mr. Evans (who had mentioned the Western .Do not Mr. Brace and other leaders support t.he Western. Mail? You own agent here sends articles to the Western Mail. The Chairman: And the agents are well Paid for their articles. A Voice: Can you prove that? The Chairman: Certainly. Mr. Brace is writing to the Western Mail. If that is not right they will soon take proceedings against me for libel. You will see it all in the Western Mail to-morrow. A Voice: You are makin,g a statement you cannot prove. At this stage considerable excitement pre- vailed. Seveiv.il questions were being put simu. 11aneously, and Mr. Eynon confessed to his inability to reply unless the din ceased. The climax, however, wa", reached when Mr Evnon represented a question to mean that Ü" was better to be hanged t.hdn drowned and the chairman deemed it expedient to ask someone to move a vote of thanks to M.T. E y n o n. There was no volunteer, and Mr. Evans eventually stepped into the I breach.

WHAT OF THE WOMEN'S BIL LP…
WHAT OF THE WOMEN'S BIL LP I To the Editor of the Evening Exprcss. Sir.At the present moment all the friends of the women's suffrage movement are on the qui vive as to what will become of the I Bill that has been before the House of Com- mons. It is too late in the day for those who I are not in favour of women taking their place as citizens of the Empire to pretend ¡ that it is only the hysterical cry of a few neurotic and excited females. This fact was strongly brought before me when attended the mass meeting in Trafalgar-square on Saturday, July 9. Gentlewomen and work- ing womeil1 from every part of England Scotland, and "{¡tIe, walked from Spring Gardens to the Square, carrying banners dis- playing the names of their societies and the various arts and crafts which they repre- sented, and on red banners were in3cri,bed tbc number of voters who had signed the petition at the laftt general election. The banner i carried recorded that 2,600 voters ai Cardiff ha.d given their adhesion to the cause; and, though I was a verv ,mail unit in that vast throng, I fel tthat 2.600 men were behind me, if not in bodily presence, yet I had their moral support-and that number would have been greatly increased ooalkt we have had more help at the polling booths in the city. Parading the streets were eand-wiclimen, of the usual miserable ty]).t, with boards, on which were written, "Women do not want the vote." The contrast between us zinci them needed no comment, and would havn been ridiculous if it had not been con- temptible. Next Thursday the Cardiff and District- Women's .Suffrage Society is giving a garden party at Brouwydd. I'exiylaii, which hw been kindly lent to us by Sir Alfred Thomas;, who voted for our Bill, and Mr. Joseph Clayton, a member of the executive committee of the Women's League, will speak. He has also promised to address an open-air meeting at Cathays Park on Thursday evening, the 21st Cathays P?-ir k oil of July, at eight o'clock. Three months ago Mr. Clayton was selected by the.National Union of the Women's Suffrage Society to oppose at the next election Mr. HiJaire Belloe, the noted anti-suffragist. Mr. Clayton is a fine orator, and those who listen to him will have the opportunity of hearing the subject treated from a man's point of view.—I am, Ac., V, M. LEVVLS, Green meadow, July 19.
CELLAR CRiME. |
CELLAR CRiME. | CRI PPEN'S VISITS TO FRANCE I I I Reward for His Capture I I ARE MISSING COUPLE ON THE I CONTINENT ? I A circumstantial rumour gained currency on Tuesday that Dr." Crippen, who is wanted for the Camden Town murder, had j been arrested at Retford and conveyed by train to London. The story, unfortunately, proved to be untrue, and is said to have originated through a man being seen in cus- tody of the police at Newark Station. Retford is a small town in North Notting- hamshire. about eighteen miles north of Newark, and is a junction between the Great Northern and Great Central Railways. It has about 15,000 inhabitants, and is one of those places in which a stranger invariably excites comment-the last place in the world a fugitive from justice with his portrait widely circulated would select to hide in. The police have offered a reward of X,250 for Crippen's apprehension, and Mr. Will Thome, a Labour M.P., intends to-day to catechise the Home Secretary as to the police permitting Crippen to slip through their i fingers after their attention ha.d been called to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the reported death of Belle Elmore. An Unfounded Rumour It, is ofile-Laily stated that there is no truth in the report which gained currency that Dr. Cri-ppen was on Tuesday morning arrested at Retford. The statement arose through a man in handcuffs being seen at Newark in- a train proceeding to Jxnidon. Superintendent Freest f-tated on Tuesday afternoon that the rumour was absolutely devoid of foundation. T'he new police notice has been translated into the various Continental languages, aria will be distributed all over the world. It bears a nevv snapshot portrait of Crippen which is oelieved to bear a more striking icseniblancs to tho missing man than any yet published, as well as a portrait of Miss 1.ü r"eve. The offer of a reward by the police, which is ait unusual course in murder cases, the reward, (it any; generally being offered by parties injured by the crime, is an indica- tion that tlie Scotland Yard authorities are ür, their mottle and intend to leave no stone unturned to effect an arrest. It indicates, moreover, that the police have come to a "dead end" in their investigations, and, with- out further information, are at a lasts where t? t.)?rn. Th? press are, however, given to uud?rst-m.d by th& chj?f ofbt-iajs at Scotland Yard that the police have not given up hope of discovering the. whereabouts of Dr. Crippen and his companion. On the con- trary, they profess to be still sanguine, and regard the missing typist as a factor in their favour. So long as lie is accompanied by her, tbey think his difficulty in continuing to elude observation is twofold, while lie dare not. desert her in face of the danger er ill fac?,- of the ihat, when no longer under his control, she may communicate with the police. I Visits to Boulogne i PAR IS, Wednesday. I The "Matin" publishes from a Boulogne correspondent details of the visit of Dr. Crippen and 1.-8 Neve to Boulogne on the evening of May 20. At the hotel where they stayed Dr. Crippen wrote his name in the visitors' book, but the signature is hardly legible, and appears to have escaped tae attention of the poiice- oflioers who recently made investigations. I The co1'! leit Boulogne on May 22, but Dr. Crippen returned alone. About three weeks ago he lunched a.t the same hotel, did not pass the night, althougn he again returned on the following day. He jl" taid to have complained of feeling nervous, and ordered spirits, which he drank quickly. Since that visit he has not been seen at Boulogne. The French Maid's Story I PARIS, Wednesday. A "Matin" representative ha,s interviewed Valentine I/:coy, the young girl, aged seventeen, who was maid at 59, Hilldrbp- cresoent. ishe had felt certain that Dr. Crippen and Miss Le NeTe were married, and declared that they seemed to be yery fond of each other. There was never any dispute, and the habits of the couple were very regular. The only matter whxh attracted Valen- tine's attention as specially noteworthy was tnat her mistress had many splendid dresses and jewels, which she very rarely wore. ",be did not know anything about the sup- posed murder, and said that Dr. Crippen had always maintained his accustomed calm while she was present. She had seen nothing suspicious in the cellar, which the doctor occasionally entered. He joked with her once while aiding her to split some wood. The household disappeared after the visit of police officials. On July 8 and on July 11 Valentine Leooy left the hon.se, returning to Boulogne on July 12.—Central News. I Where Have They Gone? I Where ha-ve they gúo.e? aslcs the D&ilj I Clhmmole." In all probability they are now eiri the Continent, most likely in France. It is known that the doctor is well acquainted with many French resorts, par- ticularly these which are little frequented by ordinary t.ouriste. Wha,t is more, he spaaks the language. Miss le Neve, on the oontrary, ha.s little I knowledge of French. But it is doubtful whether she would ba able to tak-e any intelligent interest in the French news- I papers, and still mere, whether the doctor- still assuming tha-t she is ignorant of his secret—-would allow her to see them. It, is conceivable tha. Dr. Grippen and Miss le Neve are now staying at some little place in France, eff the track of the hue-and-cry, and that the typist is in complete ignorance of the murder. Her friends refuse to believe that she would stay with the doctor knowing tha.t he Was wanted for the murder of his wife. Disposal of the Bones I In London one of the suggestions which is now being investigated is that the bones cf the victim, which were all removed before the rema,inder of the body was buried in the cellar are to be found in Regent's Canai. Information has been given to Scotland Yard that some time ago Crippen made mysterious visits to the neighbourhood of Regent's Park. and that he carried with him on these occa- sions a heavy hag. The neighbourhood of the canal, from Islington to Maida Vale, is now being searched, and it is probable that the canal iteelf will, be dragged. The Doctor at Swansea I yesterday's "informations" forwarded to Scotland Yard included the following: — A man Faid to answer the description of Feter Crippen is alleged to have visited costumier's establishment in Portland-place, where a good business is done in retailing second-hand dresees. The stranger in ques- tion inquired for a complete rig-out for a lady. Some questions were asked, and when the assistant requested the visitor to a seen d to the next floor it is said that he hurriedly left t.he shop. A taxicab driver employed by the Express Cab Company, in Rochester-road, Camden Town. went to the police at Caledonian-road Station last. night with an account of a OOIl- versation he had with a man, whom he alleges was Crippen a fortnight ago, at Camden Town. The man. who was slightly under the influence of drink, had told him in conversation that he was a dentist, and that a few years ago he had had to leave Sw ansea. He ms,de a. request to be driven to a public-houise at Oxford-street, bnt suddenly —
KING EDWARD'S SYMPATHYI
KING EDWARD'S SYMPATHY I A touching story is told about the late King. Shortly before his death he visited a small London hospital, where an officer lay critically ill. It was one of the King's quiet visits, but the patisn.t, who heard he was expected, and who was almost too weak t.o speak, said it would be a great happiness to him if he oould hear the King's voice. He aisked the sister if it would be possible for her to talk with his Majesty outside the open door. Sister Agnos said she would try to do what he wished, and having in due oourse led tlie King there, she told him what her purpose had been. In a moment the King went, into the room to the bedside of the sick man, and, taking his hand, held it for a long time whilst he spoke to him worda of tenderness and sweet counsel. When his Majesty finally said good-bye he eiowly walked to the window and looked out upon -well, he looked out upon nothing, as the tears rolled down his oh-eeks. Then adaentlly he lteflt t.he sufferer whose strong desire it had been to listen to his voioe.
A RUNAWAY TRAINi -'
A RUNAWAY TRAINi 100 PASSENGERS INJURED Frightful Spectacle BROKEN ARMS AND LEGS A serious railway accident, resulting in injuries to a large number of passengers, occurred on the Great Southern Railway of Ireland at Ro-crea yesterday. i An excursion train left Birr for Queenstwn at cLiO, and when it reached Roscrea the engine was detached for the purpose of adding extra carriages. When these were about to be connected with the train it is stated they struck it ra.ther ha,rd and the coupling was not completed. The rest of the train, being on an incline, then started back on the Birr line, and about four miles from Rosorea. it met the morning train from that town to Dublin. The excursion train con- sisted of nine coaches, and .contained about 800 pa.ssengers, many of whom were women and children. When the train started on its backward co-ui^e its occupants, who knew well that the train from Birr was approach- ing from the other direction, became terror- stricken. Women and children cried and many fainted. Priests Administer Absolution A number of Roman Catholic priests were among the pa.-<senge>-6 on the excursion train, which was conveying many members of church congregation* on their annual excursion, ana it js stated that before the crafth came one of the priests administered absolution to his fellow-priests and occu- pants of the runaway carriages. No one was in the brake van when the train ran away, and the stationmaster, per- ceiving the terrible danger, endeavoured to jump into the van, but was hurled to the ground and injured. The train prooeeded on its way. and had it not been for the presence of mind of the Birr driver in reversing his train the consequences must have been much more serious. As it waS, the collision was such that over a hundred persons were badly injured, and some are reported to be in a dying condition. The Injured Passengers The epectacie presented after the accident was a sad one, old persons being seen with broken legs and crms, -while some mothers with infants in their arms were also badly injured. Young children were pitifully cry- ing, but. fortunately, most of them had escaped senoua injury. One young lad. named Gleeson. of Nenagh, jumped from the train before the collision, and got off with a, few scratches. A special train carried about thirty of the worst ca-ses to Dublin, and others were treated locally, at the infirmary and m private houses. One of the injured priests. Father Cunningham, sus- tained a fractured skull. A later telegram says the engineless carriages struck the engine of the Birr train with tremendous force, carrying away the smoke-stack. Two or three of the runaway carriages were telescopy. Three of the passengers in the train with which the car- riages collided received injuries, and the fire- man was hurled into an adjacent field. Amongst the iujured were the following;- Father Cunningham Kinnitty, seriously; I Father Slattery, seriously; Father Costigan. seriously; Father Scan la n,^ Birr, broken Father Crowe, Birr, injuries to chest; Father Barron, Banagher, collar-bone broken; Father Tuohy. Loughrea, and Father Nohilly. Several other serious injuries were reported.

..-=- . - : "CROWN & SHUTTLE"…
.=- "CROWN & SHUTTLE" CASE In the Court of Appeal (before the Master of the Rolls and Iordts Jmytioes Farwell and Kennedy) on Tuesday the hearing was resumed of the appeal of the Shoreditch Aesessnient Committee from a decision of a ivrsionai Court ordering the assessment comm?.t? to appoint a person to maJ? a provisional list for the parish of Sho=r,ite?- containing the gross and ratable values of the Crown and Shuttle public-house, Hih- street, of which Mr. Morgan, the applicant for the order, was the licensee, as reduced since the making of the valuation list now in force. The oase for the applicant was thai, the value of the public-house had been reduced by reason of tho? Passing of the Finance Act, 1910. I he Dm«ionai Court held that the increase of the licence duty under the Finance c 1910, from £35 to £ 1^3 was prima facie evidence of a reduction it, the value of the public-house, which entitled the licensee to can upon the assessment committee to make a provisional lis; showing the gross and rat-able value of the Crown and Shuttle as reduced. Mr. Russell, K.C., continuing his address on behalf of the appellants, contended that it was impossiblevlor the court to say that the assessment committee ought to have been sati^ sfied that in this particular case the annual value of the public-house was reduced. What the committee said was that, even admitting the facts of the other side, and that there was a reduction of value, it was not a reduction of value within Section 47 of the Valuation (Metropolis) Act, 1869. Mr. Danckwerts, K.C., on hehalf of the respondent (the licensee), contended that the Divisional Court had properly made the rule for a mandamus absolute. The case was adjourned. NOVEL LICENCE PROBLEM. t An important licensing decision was given by the Brentford Rench on Tuesday. Frederick Buckley, of Hounslow, the holder of a licence to sell beer wholesale, was sum- moned for an alleged breach of the ternis of the licence. The case against the defendant was that he delivered two bottles of beer to a customer, when by his licence be could not sell leas than eighteen quarts. The defence was that the customer paid for the beer in the regulation quantity, but that it was delivered from time to time aa wanted in small quantities. The Bench decided in the defendant's fevmi r. but agreed to state a case for the High Court.

I Bristol Dock TroubleI
I Bristol Dock Trouble I NEWPORT MEN VOTE TO STOP WORK I I But the Buik of Them Resume] There was a good deal of cross-purposes at work at Newport on Tuesday. When the meeting which had been adjourned from II: Monday night was called outside the Alex- andra Dock Hotel Mr. J. Casey, who pre- sided, impressed upon the men that they should realise the responsibility of the step they were asked to take, and not be so rash as to cease work. Mr. Wm. Tooner, one of the Bristol deputa- tion, Mid he was yery much taken aback when he arrived at Newport to find that Mr. James Wignail, the South Wales agent of the Dockers' Union, had had a telegram from Mr. Ben Tillett saying that the Newport worKers must not stop, because he (the speaker) had gone to Newport to, advocate the contrary. The Bristol trouble arose out of the Newport strike, and a" Bristol men cam-e out in eympathy with Newport men and refused to work the steamship Natal Transport, ?e thought it was only lair and Tight tbd Newport men should try to help -brismi men out of their difficulty, Mr. Graham, also irom Bristol, having spoken, Air. James Wignall said that some of the I labour leaders had been accused of playing golf and cricket and neglecting the interests j ot the workers. He denied this, and said they were doing all they could in the inte- j rests of the men. He read a telegram from Tiitett in these terms: — I Men must not stop at .Newport. I Mr. Wignail then asked the assembly if a stoppage ,-<,t .Newport would help the position at ArofirLiotitil, atid vras greeted with cries I of We don't belong to Tillett's Union." Amid some disorder Mr. Wignail asserted he Lvi the right to give them instructions, whether they liked them or not. His message was that they would not help the Bristol men by stopping the Newport Docks. No practical suggestion had been put before the I meeting at Newport by a Bristol delegate. Asserting that their guerilla warfare was playing the game of the Federation, Mr, I Wignail concluded by saying that if the) strike committee of Avonmouth would call ¡ a illÐetulg of all the Unions in the Bristol I Channel, and all the men concerned would i decide on definite action, he was with them ) up to the hilt. The way to fight the federa- t tion was to stop all the ports from Sharpness to Burry Port. If after Mr. Til left's message I any Newport men stopped work in sympathy with Bristol they would be acting on their own responsibility. I The Chairman then said he would abide by the advice of Mr. Tillett. He was not going to fight, outside his Union, but he would fight inside it. Mr. George Cox followed in the same strain, There was a good deal of cross-shouting, and ultimately the Chairma,n said he could I not put any resolution to the meeting. I A Voice: Last night you sympathised with I the Avonmouth men. To h- with your sympathy if you don't strike for them. The Chairman: I am going to stand by my leader. There is to be no resolution. The chairman then left the trolley. Thereupon Mr. C. Slattery, one of the l dockers, mounted it and called for a show of ¡ hands whether the men wished to take immediate action or wait till Messrs. Houlder Bros, and Co.'s steamer Linda Fell arrived and see if free labour was introduced. A >-how of hands was taken on the first of the*?e issues, and by a large majority it was carried that immediate action be taken. That wa-i- by Mr. Slattery in those words: "It means thn,t you don't .go I to work this afternoon, whether you like it or not." Majority of Men Resume Work I A number of the men did not return to work. but when Mr. John Macaulay inter- 1 vened the great bulk of the work was rÐSumed a" usual. Xot only was there no ^stoppage at the I I Newport docks on Tuesday, but there is I every probability that there will be no cessa- tion of work to-day (Wednesday). It is not I' n ''w expected that Messrs. Houlder Broe.' general cargo steamer Linda Fell will arrive at Newport to-day, so that for the present, at all events, there is no likelihood of imme- diate trouble. i Work as Usual I Work is going on a" usual at Newport I Docks to-day, without the semblance of a I strike, notwithstanding the vote taken at the me-etin g yesterday afternoon. I Mr. Tillett's Strong Protest I Addressing a, meeting of dockers in Bristol in the afternoon, Mr. Ben Tillett said that he wished to make an indignant protest at the brutal action of the police at Avonmouth in trampling on women and children who we'e I standing on the pavements there. ?ot only the women and children, but the men as I well, had to rush into the shops. He protested against such brutality, whil-a at the same time he protested against the stabbing of I horses. The men who stabbed the horses were no friends of the dockers and no friends I of the labour movement, and he protested, in t'io name of the dockers, against the police taking advantage of such an incident to brutally maltreat men, women, and children who were possibly walking or standing about I the streets. (Hear. hear.) There were hooligans in the police force just as there were in other classcs, but he protested agaiiist their being called out to maltreat and ride over their men, women, and children. If the police wanted to murder, let them come out honestly and try the job on, but leave the women and children alone. It was a cowardly, contemptible act, and they would ask the town council or the courts of justice to take the matter up. They would also hold the chief-constable responsible for the con- I duct of his officers. He wished further to J add that the dockers desired peace, and ) wanted to work amicably with the police, but I there must be no such dastardly acts on the j part of the police. Proposals Rejected. A meeting of the Bristol dockers was held I at Bristol at noon on Tuesday, and was I addressed by Mr. Ben TiHett. Referring ?0 the üonferene on the previous night with the docks committee, Mr. Tillett said it lasted four hours, and ended with the docks oom-I mittee. through their chairman, advancing l the following proposal:— The docks committee cannot agree to the I proposals of the Dockers' Union, but are I prepared to accept a reference to arbitra- tion on the understanding that the federa- I tion men shall remain until the result of II the arbitration is given and accepted by the dockers. That proposal was now before them for their appro-val or rejection. A motion rejecting the proposal of the docks committee was unanimously carried. Mr. Tiilett then announced that their joint committee had further considered a resolu- tion as an alternative, and they had agreed to it. It ran jto follows: liesclved thai, this meeting of docks workers locked out by the docks oommitt-ee hereby agret) to return to work, subject to the following conditions: — withdrawal of the whole of the I federation men. 12) That no workman be requested to work with or under the supervision of the I obnoxious foremen pending an investigation into the causes of the dispute. (3) Thai no person involved in the dispute be in any way victimised. (4) That the investigation committee be a joint committee of Dockers' Union represen- tatives and reprctJcntatives of the docks committee, who shall select an independent chairman. Each clause was put seriatim and unani- mously agreed to. Mr. Applet-on, general secretary of the Federation of Trades Unions, then addressed the men. and counselled them to continue showing the splendid demeanpur which had I up to now characterised their action, and not be provoked into committing anything wanton or violent. (Applause.) Mr. Cox, the Newport strike delegate, ateo spoke and said unless the Avonmouth dis- pute was settled at one o'clock, they would also come out, and then neither party would go back until a, settlement had been arrived at in both places. The z-aeeting then terminated. Counter Proposals I Another meeting between dockers and the docks committee took place on Tuesday even- ing, when the deputation informed the com- mittee that the dockors had refused arbitra- tion and demanded an investigation by an equal number on both sides. After delibera- tion the docks committee submitted counter- proposa18 that the two foremen objected to should not supervise local labour and no person ^involved should be victimised, that the points in dispute be submitted to arbi- t.ra,tion and work resumed forthwith, and when the avjard was made the federation men would be discharged. A mceting of the strike committee was aft,erwards held to consider theiae terms, and it was resolved to submit it to a meeting of the dockers this morning.
