LONDON, Aug. 12. "The result
of the London strike Is the greatest
labor triumph of the century."
In n statement to tho United Press
here today. Hen Tlllett ,tho leader of
tlio dockers, teamsters, carmen and
other laborers o ftho world's greatest
city, to whose handling of the great
strlko all concede the victory was
largely due. told what tholr winning
will mean for tho tollers.
"More than 100,000 workers."
Tlllett continued, "will benefit by
the increased wages and reduced
hours they havewon, giving them, for
the flrjt time lu their lives, a space
of time for recreation. Heretofore
they have tolled all their waking
hours.
Fear Spread of Trouble.
Declaring that the settlement of
the London strike docs not affect,
the teamsters of the Midland nnd
Great Northern Itallroads struck, to
day, and thero is great probability
that the trouble will spread to other
roads.
Although tho Loudon settlement
did not provide for a resumption of
work until Monday, thousands of the
strikers, driven by utter jieed, re
turned to their places today and aid
ed In the restoration of normal con
ditions. This will tako several days,
Tho gain to tho strikers by their
Victory will reach, a totaj or noro than
$3,000,000 yearly.
Fight for Provisions.
Glad to be back at their tasks,
thousands of tho men worked all
night clearing up the streets and
docks which their strike had congest
ed to such a point that business was
practically impossible. At the docks
the scene was remarkable. Men
crowded tho entire water front and
shopkeepers, whose stores were de
nuded of food during the strike,
fought madly to secure provisions
for their trade.
Danger of an epidemic through
the general sale of partly decayed
food which pams tho waiting ships
and the depots has stirred the health
authorities to the most rigid action,
and many valuable cargoes of food-
ffered from the
have been order
ed towed out and dumped into tho
sea. ,
