Britain's Railway Strike THREE-POINT PLAN

Ending; Lay-Off By Power Workers Threatened

London, June 16.

Britain's railway crisis onded tonight when engine drivers and firemen on the London to Scotland routes decided to drop their opposition to turns of duty forcing them to sloop away from home. The Conference of the National Union of Railway- men, which opened here today, however, direct- ed the Executive of their union to negotiate with the Railway authorities to have unneces- sary lodging turns ended,

H

The Conference. representing 460,000 members, decided by narrow majority to roselnd a four-year old decision that it was opposed, on principle, to all indg- ing turns-tuties involving nights spent away from home,

Until now, the intransigent op- position of the National Union of Railwayinen to lodging turns had been blurned for the failure to end the "Sunday only" token strikes staged by locomotive crews at many depots between London and Edinburgh.

Southampton, June 16.

A 10-year-old girl who, a few days ago, was deported from New York after having been found on board a British tanker, was bound over for two years at Southampton today. This means that she has to be of good behaviour for two years, or she will be brought before the court again.

She pleaded to stowing away on the ship, British Genius, at Bou- thampton.

She had said she had no recol- lection of going aboard the ship, but later agreed she had been un- der the influence of drink and had gone aboard with some sailors.

Log entries showed there was a grent den of trouble on board when the girl was found, and the Master had to put into Miami, Florida. The girl was sent back by air to England.
