The Premier said information showed that the railwaymen refused to work trains carrying troops, adding most emphatically that the Government could not possibly agree to action by ang section discriminating against Government traffic, or accept any decree issued by any body, however powerful, denying to the Govern-| ment essential facilities for carrying out its functions.
Mr. Lloyd George said he declined to believe that the National Union of Railwaymen would embark on a policy, which the Trade Dalon Congress absolutely refused to sanction in connection with another most important matter of public policy.
An Irish member of the deputation suggested that would be possible to bring the Government and a section of the Irish people wogether through the Trade Union movement in Britain, and he hoped the National Vaion of Railwaymen would HOTE that direction.

Mr. Thomas recognised that to support the strikers in Ireland mean a declaration of war on the Government.
