'Received 11.5 p.m., Dec. 13
LONDON, Dec. 13. Eight policemen, ian inspector, and two conductors gave evidence that Knox was drunk. There were minor contradictions in the evidence. The conferenjee lasted for 12 hours, without result. The company as willing to reinstate Kn'ox iif Mr C3iesft/er Jones, the presiding magistrate, finds that the conviction was unjustified. The company is willing to withdraw the summonses.
A deadlock has arisen over tihe refusal to dliismuss thJe volunteers who joined during the strike; the men promoted must remain in their new ranks. The difficulty is purely one of principle, and probably only 60 strikers wall foe compelled to await vacancies.
