was settled
late tonight

negotiations

employers
on
a basis conceding
to the
workers
an

advance

two shillings
demand
by
the
men fluctuating accordiug
to the cost
of living index.
7Thus
the
men
got
near-
ly all
they
originally demaaded.
There
is
1»
doub:
that
this ending of a difficult
erisis
was
a'most
entirely
due
to
the
in-
tervention
of the Premier,
who has
been
untiring in devoting himself
to recurire
a scttlement.
Late
tonight the
Premicr
looking
pale and
exhausted,
left 'cwr-
ing Street
for a week
end
rest
at Cheg-
uers
Court,
his
country
residence.
Though
the
strike
situation
last
night
looked
hopeful,
the
government
never-
theless
made
every
preparation
for
»
possible
extension of the strike.
Some
of
the ministers
today travelled
to Liverpool
where
the King was attending
the Grand
Nati.nal Steepiechase
and
the King
heid
a privy
council
there
and
signed
a
proc
lamation providing ior
a state
of
emerg-
ency,
which naturally will not
be
requir-
ed, unless,
as
is consideved
unlikely, the
leaders
of the men
should
refuse
to
rati-
fy the
tern's
of settlement.
The
terms
of
settlement
are
subject
to
ratification
by
both sides,
and
will not
be
officially
mzde rublic unti! ratified, but
the
reces-
gary formalities
woulc¢
be made
with all
haste
in order
to get the transport
service
runing,
In the
meantime,
all
tube
and
other
threatened
sympathetic
strikes
have
been
called
off and harassed
Lon-
doners

General

ed

Tne
strike
seottle-
ment
comes
a great relef
to the Govern-
ment,
as well
as to the citizens,
because
although
the
Ministers
had
decided
to
take
emergency
cpowers,
they were
far
from agreed
on what
those
powers
shou'd
be and almost
any
move they could
have
made
in
this
direction
risked
bripging
them
into conflict with large sections
of
the
labor
itself, which
would
have
re-
garded
such exceplional
mcasures
as
iui-
mical
