(By Cable to The Times.) London, Sept. 23. -That Great Britain is on the eve of the greatest strike the world has over known is the belief of many students of the present: industrial situation and II would not surpiiso many who are well acquainted with labor condi tions, particularly- as applied to rail roads, to see the whole country be fore long completely paralyzed by a sudden stoppage of railway traffic, unless the directors of the various railroads see their way clear to aban don the position they have taken in the threatened crisis, and it is argued that their pride will not permit them 'to do this. The directors say there is ho dan ger of such a thlnW, because they could easily fill the places of the union men by others not helonging to the union. But where are they to be had? There are few persons who place any faith In such statements and who would risk journeying in the limited service on trains run by unskilled drivers and guards. The men aro not, in tho meantime do ..mantling increased wages and shorter hours. Must Itocognir Trndes Unions. The issue is :t very .simple' one. Tho crux of the whole thing is summed up in one word recogni tion. They merely want a committee of tho directors to recognize tho de mand and meet a Committee belong ing to their trades union, to discuss their alleged grievances, with a view to an amicable settlement. Tills tho directors declino to do. They will not recognize any trades union and this the union is deter mined to havo. Tho men have a great general in Mr. Richard Hell, a member of par liament. ' Ho is calm and dignified in his demands on behalf of the men and they recognlzo his greatness and are awaiting tho issuo with calm de termination, being confident of suc cess. It is Mr. Bell's sensible advice to tho men to wait, that-Jbas so far prevented n conflict. Tho directors, Mr. Bell, argues, call in expert assistance at times; then why should not the men? ltailroad and Ship Ofllclals Caution Against It. The feeling of the directors is thus voiced by Sir Theodore Angler: "Tho railway companies would he exceedingly badly advised to concede the men's demands for recognition of the trades union, An exactly similar demand was made on tho shipping companies some years ago. They re- fused absolutely to recognize the ex I istonco of the union and insisted on dealing with their men as they them selves thought fit.

There are deep finger prints- in her nock and throat, around j which one of-her own undergarments had been secured and tightly lied. In the trunk with the body were numer ous artielrs of clothing such as skirts, waists, shoes, stockings, undergar ments, fttc. What space remained af ter bending and doubling the body into the trunk the murderer filled with rocks and shells from the seashore, thus hoping to weight it down as to carry it to the bottom. Besides the clothing which per chance, may lead to the Identity o the woman, the murderer bungled again. In that a letter was left mixed in utu: the garmints.
