THE IRISH STRIKE.

PROSPECTS OF A SETTLEMENT. United Preee Association—By Electrio Telcgrsph—Copyright. (Itocoived September 28th, 9.35 p.m.) LONDON, September 28. Despite the absence of cargoes, the Great Western Railway Company is maintaining its steamboat service between Fishguard and- Rosslaro at a daily loss of £440. Efforts are being made to settle tho etriko on the basis of allowing the railways to adjust all differences with tho railwaymen apart from transporters' unions. The Great Southern Railway receives a deputation of men today. Tho Amalgamated Society of Railwaymen Buggeets that the men ehould relinquish tho boycotting of blacklegs, and that the companies should reinstate the strikers. Three hundred and forty men employed in tfoe Great Southern Company's locomotive works at Limerick have been discharged. Four representatives of the Irish railways testified before the Royal Commission. The manager of the Midland and Great Western Company, referring to the Irish strike, said that it seemed inconceivable that tho Amalgamated Society of Railwayraen ehould have the power toparalyeetho trade of the country and yet go unpunished. It showed an unfortunate bieach in the law which ought to -be remedied.
