THE BRITISH LABOR TROUBLE.

The railwaymen's strike carao to an end as from Monday. A Conciliation Board is to be convened to settle the question in dispute The Bailway Gazette itates that the real reason of the strike was that the Conciliation Boards provided a safety valve, which reduced the opportunities of Unions to call strikes, au i weakened the power of Unions to compel men to join them. The Chronicle describes the strike as wanton, and states that in the opinion of the community, it is dead against the authors. There wa3 much enthusiasm at the central station in Manchester on the resumption of work. A number of London and Brighton strikers have applied to resume on the tramways. Liverpool trains have resumed running, and the railway men &\ Stroud and Chatham have gone back to work.

Mr Lloyd George spent ten hours on Saturday laboring to obtain a settlement, during eight whereof h9 was face to face with the railway men's representatives.
