All the Liverpool strikers, with the exception of the dockers, have resumed work. The latter will start tomorrow if all are permitted to return. A number of tram-car wreckers have been sentenced, two of them to five months' imprisonment. _ » At a conference of marine engineers at West Hartlepool, it was decided to approach the shipowners for a general advance <>f wages. Mr Tom Mann, interviewed regarding the settlement of the strikes at Liverpool, said he rejoiced that the various sections of transport workers had for the first time been brought into harmonious relations. "The dominant consideration had been the betterment of the workers' conditions," he said, "and all old sectarian and political differences, dividing them had been entirely dropped. The solidarity which had been a characteristic, throughout the fight remains intact in the hour of victory. The workers would strengthen that solidarity by continuing to organise." ' Mr Mann added that the Strike : Committee had more than quadrupled they number of organised workers in Liverpool. Chief-Constable J. T. Coleman, Captain of the Lincoln Fire Brigade, testified at ..the inquest on Constable Clay,-killed >at yesterday's .fire, as follows:—"When threats were made during Sunday's riots to murder me, Clay stuck to me throughout.;"' The witness added that four thousand people were throwing stones at oolice and windows, like devils let loose.

Harold Smers, belonging. to the Worcester Regiment, who deserted at New Radnor, declares that during the Llahelly riot he was ordered to shoot to kill the leader, who was on a garden wall. He refused and wa? arrested. Ho escaped and walked a hundred miles, living chiefly on nuts and apples. Spiers has been transferred to the military authorities.

According to a correspondent of the Record, naturalisation papers show that the Jews established at Glamorgan and on the Monmouth border were imported in recent years by their foreign compatriots. The latter, beginning as peddlars, soon became shopkeepers and landlords. Tihe populace were incensed against many of the Jews, who, under pretext of the railway strike, raised the prices of perishable products, and found that while the charges relating . to property owners were baseless as regards any considerable section of the Jews, 'they were only too well substantiated in some individual cases. Hence a kattdle was provided for antiJewish demonstrations.

The paper adds: "It behoves the Jews to deal drastically with their own members who constitute a danger to Jewry." Rioting continues in the Bargoed district. Two Jewish shops baye been, 'wrecked &t Senghenydd. ■..', Jewish' families have 'fled from' the Monmouth valleys to Cardiff. ■-'.'..
