BRITISH l FOREIGN HEWS
i>v Ti.t.r.oitAi'ir. —riu-ss assn., copyright. NO RAILWAY STRIKE. LONDON, January 25. The meeting of the railways delegates decided by a narrow margin majority, not to call a strike but to accept the award of the Wages Board. HR ITISH RAILWAYAIEN. LONDON, January 25. Tho Raihvaymen’s delegates discussed with the companies the la tiers’ memorandum for an hour, after which Mr J. H. Thomas made a statement. A resolution was moved to refuse tho Wages Board award, and to declare a strike on Friday. This was lost by 30 to 41. It is noteworthy that this straight issue represents the final decision, and it may lie regarded as a triumph for Ah' Thomas, who has consistently striven to uphold the prestige of the Wages Board. Peace is therefore assured in the railways, after a week-end of anxiety.
