LONDON, Oct. 6.--With dramatic
sudden-ness in the quiet of the London Sunday afternoon it was announced to a knot of people waiting in Downing Street that the great railway strike which appeared to have brought the country almost to the brink of revolu- tion. was settled and that the strikers would resume work as quickly as 'pos- sible. The settlement was the result of a long conference today between a trade uirlon delegation, including representatives of the rsilwaymen's Union and Premier Lloyd-George and Andrew 'Bonar Law in the famous Conference room in Downing Street. Prior to this there was a Cabinet meeting. The Conference in Downing Street was a. very friendly affair. All present seemed -to anticipate a set- tlement and after Premier Lloyd- George had explained the now terms he left the delegates to discuss them.

The Teachers Efforts
For Increased. Wage
In order that the situation with ref
erencc to the teachers and their de-' mands may he fully understood, the Guardian yesterday received from -Principal J. D. Seaman, President of ‘the Teachers Union. the following hif- tory of the movement for higher sal aries: -
in reply to a delegation from the
Teachers’ Association arsking for an increase in salary, the govern ment previous to the session of 1918 'stated that they were unable to make any further appropriation for educa- tional purposes out of the ordinary revenue of the province, intimating that the teachers must look.to the districts for any increase in salaries.
The teachers then nt their annual
convention- in September 1918 formed a Teachers Union and agreed that no member thereof would engage in the coming July for a -less salary than a niininiuni agreed ,,upon. Realizing that -legislation would be necessary to have this amount raised in the dis- tricts t-he teachers again waited up- on the government before the ses- sion of 1919 and received a promise that legislation would be introduced with a view to meeting their demands Accordingly the Education Tax Act was passed, to become operative up- on receiving the assent of the people by plebiscite. The teachers agreed to take no action until -thirty days after
the understanding that they shall be, completed before the end of the -year.i
3 Wages will be stabilized at the.
present level until Sept.` 30, 1920, and- at.sny time after August 1 they may' he reviewed in the light of circum- stances then existing.

5 The railway undon agree that the
men will work harmoniously with the men who returned to work or who remained at work during the strike‘ nor shall there be any victimization of strikers.
6 Arrears of wages will hc paid on
resumption of work.
BERLHN, Oct. 6.-The Boi-lin police
and troops of War Minister Noskc's force prevented the thirty independ- ent communist iicmonstrations, which had been planned for 1'1 o‘clock this
morning onhehalf of this striking metalworkers. Governmen forces, in accordance with the warning issued Wednesday, poiiced the halls in which t-he meetings were to be held and dis- persed crowds gathered about the buildings. , Few workmen, outside of those of Independent -Socialist affilia- tion, paid any attention to the attempt to participate a general strike of all union labor in aid of the metal work- ers.
During the demonstrations Thurs-
day, according to an earlier despatch. soldiers fired into a. crowd of manif-
estants iq' Muellerstrasses, killing one civilian a ii wounding ten others.
the result of the plebiscite was known. '
The Act having failed to carry as
a result of the plebiscite and the gov- ernment also"having changed hands, the teachers, instead of going on. strike as at first proposed, called a meeting of the Union in August. At this meeting Premier _Beli, Attorney General Johnston, and Hon. F. J. Nash were present and addressed the teachers expressing sincere sym- pathy with them in their demhnds and urgently requesting them to give the government time to formulate a policy. In deference to their request tho teachers decided to wait until three montihs after the government assumed power. I-f nothing was done in the interim they agreed that_all teachers not receiving the mini- mum wage would go on strike on December 4th. lf 'then the matter was 'lint satisfactorily settled all other Union- Teachers agreed tp go on strikc two weeks later.
At the annual meeting of t-he Union
hold in -September last, the teachers, in consideration of the fact that to moot their demands within the speci- fied time a special session of the legislature would be required, agreed that if thc govemment would promise to introduce a measure at their first session milking this necessary pro- vision for the minimumaalary asked, and retroactive to January 1, 1920, there would not be any strike.
Thus the mutter stands at present.
The Executive of thc,Unlon are try- ing, to make arrangements to meet the government and it is probable 'the meeting will take place at an early date. . _i , “ -
