CONCESSIONS MADE. Tho terms of Hie unexpected adjustment adjust-ment of the British railway strike clearly indicate a eompromi?, the workers securing substantial concessions. conces-sions. The settlement is not final, but at any rate it has a year to run and in the interval it is probable that in-dun in-dun t rial and social conditions in tho United .Kingdom will have approached Mimcrhin like normal. Tliic agreement staves off what threatened to develop into the gravest upheaval Great T-ritain ever had known. That it shouh? have been reached at a moment whien apparently ap-parently all efforts at peaceful adjudication adjudi-cation had been exhausted illustrates the wi-doia of a ive-and-take spirit, threat .Uritaiu was very near thie precipice preci-pice 'when this settlement by compromise compro-mise was announced.
