Over 400 locomotive drivers and firemen f the London and South-Western Rail- ,Iy were on strike oil Monday as the re- ult of a decision reached at Nine Elms lie previous day to strike in sympathy 'ith the police. The drastic action was swift and unex- ecuted, and many men ignorant of the and its effect, who were on their ay to the shed?, were met by pickets, fcveral refusing to be influenced by the <ckets. passed through the gates and docked on." The strike i6, purely locally, and not icognised by the men's society, and as a esult traffic was greatly disorganised. tod large numbers of holiday-makers, in- uding- many hundred children, were com- plied to abandon their intended journey the seaside. LIVERPOOL QUIETER. n Liverpool the outbreak of lawless- ss now seems to hava abated. i tram strike on Monday caused more ruble to the authorities, but this is said have nothing to do with the police dis- ute. Four hundred people were charged at iverpool a.nd Birkenhead on Monday 'ith rioting and looting. The man shot on Sunday night died in ispital on Monday. QUARTER OF MILLION BILL. The battleship Valiant and two d-e- royers arrived in the Mersey this ruoru- kg to help the 3,000 troops now quartered Liverpool to cope with the disorder hich has followed the police strike dur- ,z the week-end. Holiday makers ivei-t out in large num- !fS inspecting the wrecked shops and isiness establishments in the Scotland- yd and London-road areas. It is impos- ble at present to estimate the damage hard cash. Calculations vary from 170,000 to e 2,),0, 0 M. As the yielding power of a penny rate i. 15,000, it will be gathered that the citi- 'nB in any case will have a pretty bill to IV. The police strike at Birkenhead is now fell in hand. No further disturbances Ave taken place. The streets are patrolled police, specials, a.nd military. NO RE-INSTATEMENT. There is no further serious extension the police strike reported.

I T. J. Wilson, in his presidential ad- diess, reminded the/delegiites that two meffihers of the Union had contested seats at the General Election, one oi them—Robert Williai-ns-bein.- the first Parliamentary candidate to be adopted by the Executive and supported by Union funds. To Robert Williams and the National Transport Workers' Federation the pre- sident I)aid a special tribute tor the achievement of the shorter working week —one of the greatest gains of the past j yaar. He also pointed the moral by pleading for a mom determined effort towards amalgamation. If we are strong as a F-clerat c-n oi Unions, then we shall be doubly strong in one big Union. What applies to the Transport Workers could apply to the General Labourers and the National Federation of Grnera? Workers." The Executive had worked hard for this end durtng tho past year, but had met with many obstacles. The rank j and flJe still blame the oiffcials," said > the president, arid the officials blame | the rank and file, and say they are very apathetic on th" question. Unfortunately there is a- certain amount of truth in these statements, but they brine us no nearer TO real amalgamation. The time now devoted by our officials to settling grievances and disputes between one Union and another might be devoted to the greater work of uniting our forces for j the big fight that is to come." The time ha-d arrived for the rank and file to force the pace, and concentrate on the build-1 ing up of one big organisation. H G H COST OF LIVING. In commenting on the high cost of, living, and on the general unrest pro- duced by it ..nd by the treatment of dis- charged Service men. the president had, ?om» r laiu words for voters. Thi; I condition of affairs," h° said, is bey,<v.! ■ to prevail as long as we allow vested in- terests, capitalists, and profiteers to re- I present us in J't.¡,11ament. How slow the workers are in learning the lesson war. quite evident in the General [-'lection. and the workers are only reaping the fruits of what they voted for from a re- actionary Government." Conscription was dealt with by the president in one sentence: The Military Service Act, with conscription, will have to he completely abolished." Thp business was mainly of a routine nature. and there was an early adjourn- ment until Tuesday.
