The Maritime Unions to-day haited the longest and most costly strike in their history, after 90 days of Idleness.

It is estimated the tie-up Cost nearly $1,000,000,000.

However, this is an armistice rather than a peace. There are still issues to be settled. Firemen are dissatisfied with the agreement. Then there are the tug-bout strikes, the Los Angeles and San Francisco shipyard strlices, the Seattle and Sun Francisco longshoremen's grievances.

These have not been settled,

Regent Might Be Governor In Dominion

BRITAIN PROVIDES FOR POSSIBILITY

{SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

London, Feb. 4. The possibility of the heir to the British throne, or the man who would act as Regent, becoming a Governor- General of a British Dominion, was mentioned in the House of Commons for the first time to-day when Sir John Simon, the Home Secretary, was discussing the Regency Bill.

There was a possibility, he saith, that it might be found that a Regent was acting as Governor-General somewhere in the Empire. It was necessary to make provision for such an eventuality, he believed.

When the Regency Bill, which provides for the delegation of the powers of the Sovereign to a Regent or to Counsellors of State, was considered in the committee stage, an amendment put forward by Sir John Simon, was agreed upon. The amendment proposed that the number of persons necessary to declare a sovereign incapable of performing the royal functions, thus necessitating appointment of a Regent, should be four instead of three.
