general. Most, if not all. of the eleven
.unions affiliated with the "big five"
brotherhoods will refuse to go out
with the latter. The railway managers,
with the aid of loyal employees"
pensioners and volunteers, will be
able to give the country at-leust a limited
service. The sympathy of the
American public will not.be with the.
strikers. For all these reasons, the
strike will be virtually a failure.
Such was the prediction of competent
and unbiased observers of the
critical situation of last week.
Spurred by the adndnistration to
quick and decisive action, the railway
labor board went to Chiqago utid

into conference wfth It there. The
proceedings were secret,, and the

The final attitude of these so-called

not against the railwnys, but
against the railway labor board and
its rulings, und this fact has aroused
the administration to the determination
that the orders of the board
shall not be flouted by either the employees
or the roads. The trouble is
thatj the Cnmmins-Esch yact does not
provide penalties or give the board
powers to enforce its own findings.
This defect came prominently to the

Strike or no strike, It appears that
one certain result of the affair will
be the reduction of freight rates. This
will be highly gratifying to the American
people, who are convinced it Is
necessary to the revival of business
prosperity, and are not at all sure
that the unions are wrong when they
assert that the railroads are making
i plenty of money, despite their wails.

On Monday General Pershing laid
the congressional medal on the grave
of the unknown warrior in Westminster

attended by a host of notable personages,
was most Impressive. General
! Pershing was accompanied by a guard
J of 500 picked doughboys from the
army of occupation. In a graceful
message of thanks to President Harding
and the people of the United
States, King George announced that
the Victoria cross would be hestoWed

Arlington on Armistice day.
At the opening of parliament Premier
Lloyd George announced that he
hoped to come to the armament conference
In Washington as soon ns the
public business permitted, and that
the other British delegates will be
Arthur J. Balfour and Lord Lee of
Fareham. Sir Auckland Geddes will
act for Mr. Lloyd George or any other
delegate in their absence. The other
empire delegates will be Robert Borden
for Cunada, Senator George Fostpr

Salmond for New Zealand, Mr. Sastrl
for India, while General Smuts commits
the South African Interests to the
British delegates. The British experts
will he Karl Reatty for the navy,
Karl Cavun for the army, and Air
Marshal Hlgglns for the air force.
The two main problems which are
likely to delay the arrival of Premier
Lloyd George In America, are, of
course, the Irish negotiations and the
matter of unemployment! Of the former
there Is little new to he said.
The Conferences In London are proceeding
intermittently and the public
can only guess as to the progress that
is made. The prime minister laid l>efore
parliament on Wednesday the
government's plans for the relief of
: unemployment. The main feature is
a scheme to restore trade with central
! Europe, now impossible because of
t exchange conditions, by insuring credj
its to the full value of 1(M> per cent,
I with recourse against the exporter for
one-half the risk in case of loss. Immediate
relief measures include a
special fund to increase the unemployment
doje, and financial assistance for
former service men to emigrate to the
' British dominions.
The Greeks announced another considerable
victory over the Turks in
Asia Minor, hut their successes there
are not sttllieient to satisfy 1 lie people,
and tite government is much worried.
British support did not materialize, so
the Greeks have turned to France for
help. This week Premier Gotinaris
.s in Paris, and Be kir S:imy Bey, Turk
leader, also is there. The expectation
is that secret negotiations started by
Premier Briantl will result in peace
in Anatolia before long. A British
