BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKE IS SETTLED BY ARBITRATION Messages Quickly Important Railroad Towns Bear ing Information and Men Will Return to Work Immediately. LONDON, Aug. 1 9." A great wave of relief swept over the country to-, night when, shortly after 11 o'clock, the announcement was made from the board of trade offices that the railway strike had been settled and that the men would return to work Imme diately. Telegrams were quickly dis patched to all Important railroad towns bearing the information and crossed In transit messages to on d m describing strike riots in Llanelly and smaller towns In the kingdom. The cabinet had been working night and day since the strike was threat ened to arrange a compromise be tween the railway managers and their employes. Most of the credit for the Ultimate success of their efforts ap pears to rest upon the shoulders ol Pald Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer) who, in his statements to parliament and in Interviews with the managers and men. worked for con ciliation when all others of the Inter ested parties seemed to huvo given It up. A ?olnt committee of five mem- bers, composed of two representatives or the railway companies, two or tne nun and a nonpartisan will bo ap- pointed Tuesdey to Investigate tho workings of the conciliation act of 1 9 0 , which the men claim Is the root of all their grievances. This device overcomes the oien's objections to a royal commission which they contend always has been In practice a synonym of delay. In Employe's Favor So far as technical advantage In the coir promise goes. It appears to be In the men's favor, particularly as 'the managers consent to meet their representatives. The official statements concerning the aureement says the managers con sented to this scheme In view of cer tain representations made to them by the government. Including a prom ise of legislation to permit of an in crease In railway rates.

Demo eratic Leader Underwood of the house in answering criticisms made by mem bers during the extra session of con press, regarding the caucus whlch 1 . i framed the legislative program of the j democrats declared today that he thing had occurred in tne nouse uem ocrat caucuses at tho present session 0f congress which could In any wayi'ong time Berry and Gilbert were re embarrass the party, Mr- Underwood was a members of the conference committee on the wool rfvMon , and cap, , of (hc voim whereby the confereen opened their final session to the press.

Kim Helped to Knd It The-e la no doubt that today's af fray at Llanelly, Wales, where troops fired on a mob killing two men and wounding two others, had much In fluence In ending the strike. The lib eral government had almost Its ex istence at stake because of the strike as It depends on the working classes for Its power. The shooting cf cltisens by soldiers occurs less often in the United King dom than In ai y other European country and Is particularly repug nant to all classes. ' The second day of the strike brought little change over the condi tions of Friday. The men's" boast that thoy would tie up all tho rail roads In the kingdom and the mana gers' promise to maintain a curtailed but adequate service both failed of realization. The men estimated the numbers of their fellows on strike to day at 250,000. a gain of 60,000 over Friday; but the board of trades es timate gave only 150,000 while the railway managers held even that to bo an exaggeration. Normal Channels Traffic with the south of England was veil maintained, while In the north and Wales It was .greatly crip plod The scarcity of food had not begun to be felt In London. In this city tonight except for the soldiers In the parks and stations and crowds In a few depots watting for late trains, life moved in its normal channels. Although Premier Asqulth did not attend today's conference which ef fected the settlement of the strike, It Is believed he brought pressure to bear with the railway managers In granting the desired end.
