London, Sept. 24th.—The Governmeut has sent a communication to the officers of the National Union of railwaymen, declaring there has been a misunder- ‘stantling,’ and agreeing to further negoti- ations, it is upderstood. ‘this action followed a meeting this afternoon of the entire cabinet at which was considered an ultimatum by tae railway executive, threatening to strike on Friday noon. At an early hour, following a conference between Sir Eriec Geddes, the new Minis- ter of Transportation, and Mr. Lloyd- George, it was announced that Sir Ervic would meet the leaders of the railway men on Thursday morning. The action of the railway executive came somewhat unexpectedly despite the gloomy lorecast of an approaching crisis ziven by Secre- tary Thomas. An enquiry among lead- ers of the railwaymen’s union during the morning revealed a feklinz that Mr. "homas opinion did not accord with the general view of ,the men.

Both the executive and myself consider that the Government’s offer is one that could not be accepted, as it would in itself result in an outburst in all parts of the country, which would leave our position such that we could not control it,”’ said Secretary Thomas in speaking of the situation this afternoon. The nature o' the dispute which result- ed in the sending of the ultimatum may be summarized as follows: “‘ln the resillt of negotiations between the rail- waymen and the Board of Trade earlier in the vear, it was agread that the present wages should be stabilized until December 31st. Re- garding the standardization of wages and the removal of existing anomabkes™ it was decided that these could only be cealr with by general revision. The railwaymen’s{ unionsghave been pressing for standardization but it was general-. ly «greed that thesy would be of the ut- most difficulty under the existing abnor- mal conditions. However the locomotive engineers, firemen and cleaners, agreed with the Governmen. on the standardiz-- tion of their wages on August 20th., avertinga threatencd strike, meanwhile effocts were being made to draft a stan- dardization scheme for the oher rail- waymern, but obstacles were found in the varying conditions ofv%he men work- ing respecti- ely in the towns and in the country.
