NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES
STATEMENT BY THE ALLIANCE.
LONDON, 16th April Tho Triple Alliance executive, after a long meeting to-day, issued a statement that "the joint conference of railwaymen, transport workers, and locomotive men, having had to cancel the strike in consequence of the confusion confronting the conference yesterday, no reasonable hope remained for securing sopnteneous united! action by the three bodies, which was essential to givo the miners the help they sought. A partial, hopelessly incomplete sympathy stoppage would have weakened the organisations without materially helping tho miners. Until Thursday night there was every hope of a tremendous display of working-class solidarity. Subsequent circumstances, which we profoundly regret, destroyed the firm ground upon which the Triple Alliance strike call was based, leaving no other alternative than cancellation.
