STRIKE OR PEACE?

THE RAILWAYMEN AND THE COMMISSION'S REPORT. STRIKE FAVORED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 20, 11 p.m. London, November 20. Mr. Thomas, M.P., speaking at a meeting of railwaymen, declared that it would be a national crime and blunder if a strike were again precipitated, simply owing to the refusal of both parties to meet again to discuss the whole situation. The meeting unanimously resolved to fight for reasonable wages and hours and the recognition of the unions in nil negotiations. Six thousand railwaymen at Bradford, with two dissentients, favored a strike to secure recognition and a new programme. A similar resolution was passed unanimously at Nottingham and Manchester. Mr. Fox, secretary of the Locomotive Engineers' Union, at a meeting at Crewe, said that the railwaymen were morally bound to accept the commission's findings. The new scheme was a great improvement on that of 1907. The Council of the Amalgamated Railwaymen in thj north-eastern district, sitting at Newcastle, bv 56 to 20, recommended the North-Eastern Railway men to abstain from taking a ballot. Subsequently a mass meeting of railwaymen recommended a strike to secure recognition.
