THE RAILWAY STRIKE,

London, Sept. 29. The London-Brighton Company deny that 73 per cent. of the drivers and firemen have resumed...

i "

London, Sept. 3 General satisfaction is expressed at the manner in which the public stood the first day of the real strike ; but nobody blinks at the fact that the naion leaders have not yet played their last card. On the other hand the manner in which, the Government is meeting each fresh emergency has given an undoubted feeling of confidence.. The chief cause of uneasiness now Kes in the industrial districts. A hundred and twenty thousand miners are idle in South Wales alone, but hitherto - no serious disturbances have occurred. Beports are continual- ly arriving-of more railwaymen returning to work, thus ax- pediting the resumption of the services up to now mostly run by volunteers. The Companies' reporta show that the Great Western on Monday ran two hundred trains, the Great Eastern a hundred and fifty. Thirty thousand volunteers registered at one recruiting centre in London alone for railway service, while it is stated that enough skilled rolunteers are available to run svery bus in London. The papers, analysing the financial position of the N. U. B., are of opinion that its funda are sufficient to carry on the campaign for a month, but that would involve complete insolvency and destroy the sick funds and pensions. Interviewed last night Mr. Thomas warned the newspaper proprietors that unless the newspapers changed their attitude towards the railway strikers the come positors would strike.

The strike is greatly affecting Italy and France owing to the smallness of the quantities of coal from Belgium, America and Germany.

It is officially stated that the railway services are in- proving. The schedules prepared by the Companies yesterday were exceeded. Yesterday minor acts of sabotage were re- - ported." In one case during the night the red danger lights of certain signals were altered to green. Fortunately no Icas of life occurred. The necessary steps have been taken. Dis- tribution of food continues satisfactory, thanks largely to the admirable spirit and efficient work of the volunteers. Offers of volunteer service have been overwhelming. They are being collated as rapidly as possible and calls for service will be issued increasingly from to-day. The railway horses and livestock abandoned by the strikers are being cared for.

The Ministry of Labour states that in view of doubts expressed with regard to the position of railwaymen remaining at or resuming work, the Government desires to make it clear that they undertake not only to afford such men every pro- tection during the present crisis but also to safeguard their interests as railwaymen against any measure of prejudice whereto they might thereafter be exposed owing to such action.

Mr. Thomas, in a speech at London declared he would not continue to refuse offers from other Trade Unions to strike sympathetically. It is uncertain at present-what-will- be the effect of this statement.

The executive of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers has decided that its members remain at work, but not do work previously performed by the striking railwaymen

The situation continues to improve. The suburban rail-. way services are quite good, while the services to the great provincial centres are improving hourly. Practically all trains are run during daytime owing to signal difficulties at night The London tubes are beginning to reopen. Strikers are re- ported to be resuming at various centres, but apparently the number is so far amali.

THE PRINCE'S TOUR.

New Westminster (B. C.), Sept. 29.

The Prince of Wales arrived from Vancouver, opened the provincial exhibition, planted trees and presented war decora tions. He had a wonderful welcome from a dense crowd.. wherein Japanese residents participated. Subsequently the Prince began his return journey through Canada via the southern Canadian Pacific Railway. Crowds waited for hours at the stations to cheer the Prince.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AT LILLE.

Paris, Sept. 28.

A scheme is on foot for organizing an international ex- hibition at Lille in 1990 grouping together manufacturing, com- mercial and technical elements interested in collaborating on reconstruction in the devastated areas of North France. It is & good opportunity for allied trade to come into direct contact with French buyers.--Havas

MACHINERY, FOR CANTON.

A large quantity of machinery. and electric supplies for the Kwangtung Electric Supply Com-[ pany have recently arrived at Canton and great improvement in service in that city is expected in the next few months...

LARGE NEW DOCK.

The Nitta Kisen Kaisha is intending to open a ship-repair-. iag business at the mouth of the Kizugawa, Osaka. in the bear future. For this purpose the company has been constructing a new dock capable of accom- modating an 8,000-ton steamer.

MARINE PULP FACTORY! The project for the establish- ' ment of a marine pulp man- ufacturing company is reported from Tokyo. It appears that considering the feasibility and the profitableness of manufactur- ing pulp from the inexhaustible stocks of marine plants, a concern with a capital of Y.2.000,000 has been started for the manufacture of pulp and paper.

PETROLEUM IN JAPAN

The production of petroleum in Japan bas been decreasing each year since 1914jwhile the domestic demand has increased. In 1914 the total Japanese production was 115,849,104 gallons; in 1915, 127,- 368,528 gallons: in 1916, 127.086,- 624 gallons. and in 1917, 121,790.640 gallons. This decrease. is attributed partly to the discontinuance. of iron pipe imports for the equipment of the wells, and partly to the difficulty experienced in locating new sources of supply...

AMERICANS AND EUROPEAN

TRADE. American commercial activity 'n Europe which began immedi- ately after the signing of the armistice, continues s ccessfully to advance on a large scale. The secret of the success of the Ameri. cans is their prompt delivery of goods, ranging from locomotives to sewing machines, and the long credit given. The quickness of deliveries exceeds even that of the Germans, who had preparad carefully for the after-the-war rush in trade,

MOTOR CARS IN F.MS. Out of 2,850 motor cars import- ed into the Federated Malay last year, Canada supplied 1,050 (Ford" cars), the United States 85, the United Kingdom 549, France 245. and Belgium 56. But British manufacturers showed a better record in regard to motor-cycles, Bupplying 1104 out of the 1,230 imported: It is stated in the report of the Federated Malay States for 1918 that in regard to motor transport British manufac turers have not sufficiently studied local wants. The demand is for vehicles low in price and inexpensive in mainteriance, and these qualities are more neces sary than elegance, since few motor-cars are used for pleasure. CO-ORDINATING IMPERIAL

TRADE.

As a result of the meeting of. the Commons on July 30th, a Alliance Britannic Industrial (which is strictly non-party) has just been formed with the object of bringing together all associations of employers and employees now working barm- oniously under the Whitley. In- dustrial Councils or similar agree- ments, also organisations and individuals interested in dev-

British trade, eloping

with

a view to placing them in direct touch through the Royal Colonial Institute with similar organisations and individuals in the Dominions in order to co- ordinate their efforts to develop markets of the Empire. The pro moters claim that this is the first attempt to consolidate and co ordinate British industry, labour and trade within the Empire. The Provisional Committee appeals for financial support for the propaganda work necessary at the outset.

NOTICES.

RED WING THOROBRED

THE MARINE MOTOR WITH POWER TO SPARE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This motor is a four cycle, four cylinder L head type motor. In general appearance it is compact and clean cut, yet there has been incorporated the greatest degree of accessibity for such adjustments as daily service requires. Careful design And manufacture under the most rigid system of inspection and final test ensures a motor of extreme refinements, that is quiet, smooth running and powerful with the added and very important feature of economy of operation. The large valves, free intake and exhaust passages and carefully balanced and light weight reciprocating parts make this motor unusually powerful at the -low speeds as well as the higher speeds up to 1400 RPM. There is no unpleasent vibration at the high speeds.

In order that this motor shall stand up and have endurance“ under severe conditions, there have been provided liberal pro- portions of such feature as bearing area, water jacket volume and connecting rod & crank shaft strength. Lubrication is direct and positive. The use of accurately graduated, helical timing gears and entirely enclosed and lubricated push rods," valve springs, etc., make one of unusual silence in operation. 4 MODELS IN STOCK-14 TO 40 HORSE POWER
