It is now stated there is a prospect of the King holding a Privy Council on Monday and signing a proclamation for an early convocation of parliament, which many of the papers have been urging most strongly Meanwhile public enthusiasm to maintain the life of the community is unabated. Not even the war evoked such a rally of voluntary workers. Peers trundling trolleys and milkchurus, and peeresses unloading potatoes are now a familiar sight at the great London terminals, while admirals, colonels and Members of the House of Commons are acting as engine-drivers, stekers, aigualmen, lamplighters, vandrivers and stable men. A certain amount of topsytorvydom was inevitable. For instance, an ex-sergeant at Marylebone was commanding a fatigue party of a major and three captains on leave. Fundreds of bluejackets volunteered for service. The most valuable instance was at Cardiff, where ship traffic at the docks is now practically nonmal

MR THOMAS ON THE MEN'S VICTORY

LONDON, October 5

The meeting passed a resolution accepting the terms of the settlement and undertaking to abide loyally thereby.

At a great enthusiastic meeting of railwaymen at the Albert Hall Mr. Thomas said the railwaymen had come out solid and remained solid. He wished them to resume work equally, solidly. They did not want to claim a great victory because they could only win a victory over an enemy. They regarded the result reached as an honourable settlement wherewith everybody must be pleased. In working out the settlement he said Lloyd George had played a great part.
