The transporta- tion systems of the United Kingdom i were paralyzed and cities snd com- munities were reduced almost to fam- | ine conditions. Serious collisions be- | tween the populace and police occur- ted and several persons were in Liverpool, while in thé sioting | their lives The troubles griginated with a strike among the dock laborers of London, | which spread rapidly to Liverpool and | other ports. When these troubles were | adjusted or were in a fair way for ad- | justment the employes on the rail | roads struck for higher wages and for recognition of their union -- the Amalgamated Society Bervants. A total of 200,000 persons Britain was almost in a condition as serious as though a foreign fleet was blockading its ports, It sea trade was interfered with; its transportation sys- tem was demoralized and food stuffs could not be distributed. As a conse- quence prices soared and the poor, as usual, were the chief sufferers, The offer of Premier Asquith to re. fer the whole railroad situation fo a royal commission was refused by the strikers, while it was accepted by the railway managers; and the situation became so serious that troops, sup- plied with ball cartridges, were woon- ilized at London, Liverpool, Manches- fer and other great centres, When others abandoned hope of a peaceful settlement Lior doers only worked the harder and in the end he won. The railway officials cou- sented to recognize the union's repre- sentatives and the men agreed to sub- mit their grievances to a joint com: Inittee, meantime returning to work, without prejudice, to their places. The efforts on behalf of peace of Llvyd-George, have been recognized by Kiug Gevrge, who wrote to the Chan cellor, complimenting him very warm- ly "for averting a most disastrous calamity The dock strike at Liver. pool has also been compromised and peace again reigns in industrial Eog land.

Sr ------------------ Origin of the Census. The census probably had its origin in' Rome. The term comes from the high officer called censor, whose duty it was, among other things, to enum- erate the people. The Roman census must have been minute and full, since it indicated not omly the number of the people, but their classes, domestic positions, wealth, ete. It seems that the Reman census 'was taken about every fifth 'year. The first effort wo take a census in Great Britain was made in 1801, but it did not extend to Ireland. Two Noble Brewers.
