RAILWAY HOLD-UP.
STRIKE SITUATION EASING,
By Cable—Press Association —Copyright, LONDON, June 10.
The railway strike siituation is officially reported to be still improving, although thirty-nine stations are still closed. Trains are operating on all lines.
Fifteen hundred more of the uniformed staff have returned to work. The difficulty now is to increase the output at the power houses so as to increase the number of trains running.
Meanwhile strike headquarters claim that the strike is extending to the Great Central Railway. The shopmen at Anerley and Nottingham are now out, and the shopmen and power house men on the London underground lines are solid. The effect will be felt very shortly, because repairs to the rolling stock are piling up. MEETING THE MEN. TAKING OF BALLOT DELAYED. Reuter’s Telegrams. Received 8.5 p.m., June 11. LONDON, June 10. The railway managers have agreed to meet the locomotive men on tho 12th. The latter, in the meantime, are delaying the ballot.
