Little Hop. Left of Atrrtlng Great
Railroad Strike and Managers
Agree to Remain Ilrm and
Grant No Concessions.
LONDON. Aug. 14. Th United King,
dam tonight 1 facing one of the gravest
crises Id the clash between, capital and
organised labor In !ta history. The
trlke situation today took on almost
the aspect of civil war. when troopa
were compelled to Are on a mob of
atrlkers In Liverpool.
Following yesterday's riot. In which
en policeman was killed and two-score
badly hurt by the Infuriated crowd, the
striker were ta eullaa roood this
morning. A great crowd beican to
gather In the streets about o'clock,
and when speaker harangued them to
commit violence, troopa with rifles load
ed with ball cartridge were sent to
disperse them.
Instead of obeying the command to
disperse, the strikers charged the sol
diers, who were compelled to Ore. Many
persons were struck by bullets, and
when the. rioter wavered the soldiers
charged tliem with Axed bayonet.
Martial Law Prevail.
Liverpool tonight 1 almost under
martial law. Squad of soldiers are pa
trollng the streets, and UI persons are
required to remain Indoors.
There appear little hope of everting
a icreat railroad strike, which probably
will be accompanied hy a general labor
revolt that will have a tremendoue f--fret
on the trade of the United King
dam. At a meeting today of managers of
all the railroad bavins; terminal In
Lond.m It waa resolved that the time
had arrived to resist the nren' en
croachments. The manager contend
that the men by striking; will violate
the agreement reached after the rail
way trouble of 1907. under which all
dispute were to be referred to concili
ation boards or to arbitrators.
This agreement, they eay. era to run
until liM.
Concession Are Refosed.
Today's meeting waa unanimous
In agreeing that the only way to
terminate constant dislocation of
business would be to take a
firm stand and refuse all concessions
to the men. On manager. In an Inter
view, expressed the fear that there will
be grave trouble on all railway sys
tems before the week Is ended.
Sectional strikes of railway men were
declared tonight at Manchester. Liver
pool. Sheffled and other places. Some
of the railway ltnee already have given
notice of their inability adequately to
handle freight traffic.
The strike fever has become epidemic
In Oreat Britain. Prom one end of the
country to the ether men either have
str-jck or are threatening to do so. and
even the women and the girls In the
smaller factories of the larger cities
are demanding better condition of
labor.
Glasgow Situation Quieter.
At eight docks only m portion of the
men agreed to work, and a good deal
of uneasiness prevailed, a many of the
men refused to accept the settlement
arranged by their leader, and demand
i unconditional surrender on the part of
their employers. The same description
fits the situation at the railway sta
tions, where many of the porters and
carter are demanding greater conces
sions than had been agreed on.
Glasgow, where the street railway
men are on strike, waa quieter, but the
nonunion drivers and conductors on the
cara wee guarded by police.
Railroad Tle-Fp Likely.
Railway men throughout the country
have assumed a threatening attitude,
and a complete tie-up of railroad traf
fic is possible The locomotive engi
