Aithough the strike is not operative in tretand, the trish rail- road executive has ordered that from Wednesday only perishable goods and animals for immediate slaughter be accepted for The passenger service will be reduced in order to make way for the food supplies.

Attempt to The railway strike is still confined to the railways and even there it seems to be losing ground. Indications greatly increased railway service tomorrow in which yolunteers, who have been constantly offering their services, will Derail Trains. For the first time there were some attempts today to derail trains and also some stoning of them. The most determined attack occurred between Kirkaldy and Thornton where missiles were thrown at the driver of a train from Aberdeen and detonators were placed on the lines. A fireman was injured from being struck by a stone. An aspect of this strike making it different from ali other strikes | is that the Government is in possession of all the machinery of war | in working order and available for counter measures. This includes thousands cf lorries for road transport with efficient air service and other facilities virtually non-existant in pre-war days. .
