Furthermore. there is evident a feel ing of bitterness on the pari of miners azainst the trade union council for having first the zeneral strike and then calling it off without securing any definite assurance of an abatement of their grievances. The miners now feel that they have heen betrayed by their fellow unionists. Organized labor in Great Britain has received a severe blow. It has chal- lenzed the people and has found them faithful to the principles of orderly government. It has made a losing and that is always costly in prestize. No matter what terms the workers may be taken back to their they will feel thai they have been misled and misrepresented by their crganization.

About two months ago a bill was passed by the Senate providing for the cure of the grade crossing at Michigan avenue, in Brookland. It had been pressed for enactment into law at'‘the instance of the Commission: ers. backed by the residents of the region affected, It has since been Iving before a subcommittee of the House District committee, without at- tention, and now it is in order to urge that it be given prompt consideration an that it may be finally passed at the present session. This bill aims at the corvection of ona of the few remaining grade cross- tngs in the District. The erossing at Michigan avenue is one of the most frequented of all in this Michigan avenue rarries a steadily increasing traffic. and is, fart, one of the arterial highwavs of larze and in the Capital, though not yet so desiz-! nated by formal order. It shares with Rhode Island avenue the bulk of the trafic between Washington and Balti- ' cent action of the Senate and House | more. Plans for its improvement, to permit it to bear more effectively and safely the portion of the travel which naturally falls to it, cannot be advanced until this danger point at the raliroad crossing is corrected. A daily count of vehicles passing over the tracks at grade at this point shows that th: nercentage of risk there is very high. Manv trains are under headway over the railroad line. Frall barrier gates constitute the only protection. The view of the tracks fis masked from the view of drivers.
