Acss Association—Electric Telegraph—Copyriehi. (Received Tuesday, at 10.45 p.m.), LONDON, Monday. Mass meetings of railwayman have been held in Hyde Park, in Doncaster, York, Liverpool, and Birmingham in celebration of the 1911 strike. Tho meetings indicated a strong spirit of unrest, also a sharp difference of opinion between the leaders. Twenty thousand persons were present in Hyde Park. Some of the speakers referred to the executive disdainfully. The meeting passed a. resolution demanding that the executive initiate a campaign against non-unionism, and urged that the executive fix a date on which all railwaymen must be unionists, ami then insist on an eight-hours day and thirty shillings weekly as a minimum wage. Similar resolutions were passed elsewhere. Mr Williams, the general secretary, speaking at York, said that the present method of conciliation was too slow. The Doncaster meeting passed a resolution that conciliation was a one-sided method.
