BRITISH CABINET
STRUGGLES WITH
LABOR'S UNREST
Londoners Walk as Men on
Tube. Railways Go Out
on Strike
I.on don, Feb. 4. Londoners are
walking today. City workers are
walking in crowds over the bridges
and along the thoroughfares which
connect central London with the
suburbs. Workers of the tube rail
ways are on strike. There is great
congestion at all terminals of tram
car and omnibus lines.
The discomfort of having to walk
last night was increased by the slip
pery condition of roads and side
walks which in the outlying districts
of the city were covered with a thin
layer of frozen snow.
British Cabinet Meets
In the meantime the British cabi
net is struggling with the whole la
bor situation throughout the coun
try. A session was held yesterday
as reports came of a spread of the
strikes. It is said, however, that the
government is still against interven
tion.
The parliamentary commitee of the
Trades Union Congress decided yes
terday to summon a special meeting
to consider the whole question of in
dustrial unrest.
The Corporation of the City of Bel
fast yesterday asked the lord mayor
to intervene in the strike. It was
announced last evening that Lord
Plrrie, controller of merchant ship
building, had been obliged to cancel
all his official engagements in order
to go to Belfast in connection with
the strike.
The seriousness of the strike situ
ation in London was further increas
ed late yesterday when the hotel
workers at a meeting decided to go
on strike. About 8,000 men and wo
men are involved.

Not Fair to Transplant
the Hepatica, Says Payne
The hepatica still is the subject of
heated debate on the part 6f those
who think that the honor for finding

The latest phase of the situation is
advanced by A. S. Payne, who takes
exception to the affidavit made by Dr.
Fager that the honor for finding the
first "liverwort" is his. Mr. Payne
says it isn't fair for Dr. Fager to
plant the blooms in "Koons place"
where he knows he can tlnd them as
soon as they flower, and then claim
the honor of "finding" the first hepa
tica. when .hs knows just where to
