No. 109 Premier Baldwin And Labor Leader | — Confer On Great Britain’s Strike MAY FESTIVAL PREDICTION iS MADE OF POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT EARLY PART OF NEXT) WEEK (By Ansocizted Press) LONDON, May 7. — The guarded prediction was made this morning by influential labor leaders that the strike crisis might be settled early mext week. This is thé most optimistic statement thus far emanat- ing from high source. Upon what it is based was not made known. Unofficial peace makers are steadily working for a solu- tion, and the pressure of the churches and other bodies as well as prominent individuals is being brought tc bear to end the trouble. It is understood that Premier Baldwin and J. H. Thomas, one of ‘the labor leaders, were closeted at @ late hour last night, but what - took place is unknown, although it is assumed they were discussing! the crisis. Officially both the trade union congress and the government are standing - pat, and both claim things are going well in their re-| spective camps. The government at noon today stated that conditions were im-|————— proving throughout the country, with only minor disturbances. Traffic conditions were easier, with ‘more trains and other transporta-} tion facilities available, STRIKE ENTERS “ FOURTH Day. ao LONDON, May 7-—-The. British _publi¢ entered upoh the fourth day. of the gercral strike with the same untoward appearance of stoi- cism as on the previous days. | people had traneportation faeilities, and they also were heartened by the fact! that there would be more news- papers published. Otherwise, the outlook did not seem in any way improved. If the strike continues, the irre- sponsible sections of the public | probably will become more trou-| biesome as the days pass. There have been numerous d's- turbances already, the worst trou- bles having occurred at Glasgow, which has a notoriously radical! ppulation. in the east side of the city ye: terday, when the police broke ‘many heads and themselves suf- fered a bombardment of | stones and other missles. The constabu- lary got the upper hand. Sixty-| ix drrests were made. There was some looting. __ Edinburgh and some of the big English towns also witnessed live- ly scenes, while in south-east Lon-| dion tumult kept the police busy | @ long time. #2 disturbances apparently have been due to bad elements over ich they have no control. Traffic movements genera thowed improvement yesterday Cross channel commutation be- tween Dublin and Holyhead is to he restored by one steamer, and if Plans are carried out service be- tween Belfast and Great Britain ie to he increased. Officials of the London Omnibus Services were attempting today to feach a still nearer normal sched-} than yesterday, when th: Volunteer services were not wholly @uccessful. The biggest company had 47 of its 80 busses crippled by attacks of strike while about @ther busses were unable to return to the'r depots and lay in the Streets until rescued by repairing staffs. $100,000 WEDDING PRESENT playing the title role Abie's Irish Rose,” Pecently married H.
