the railway men appeared today.
The Liverpool union telegraphed to
J. H. Thomas, general secretary of
the railway men s union, declaring
the Liverpool men would not strike
unless a ballot of the men favored
such action.
Vote to Join Strike.
Leaders of the National Federa
tion of Transport Vrkers and of
the National Lrnion of Railway
Men, which organizations have
voted to support thv miners in
the great coal strike,' decided

After the consultation between

distressed.
"A 'triple alliance' strike has been
decided upon," he declared. "It
will be controlled by the joint execu
tive committees of the three bodies,
which will meet this afternoon to
take charge and make necessary ar
rangements." The original invitation from the
prime minister for a meeting be
tween the miners and owners, to be
held at noon, was contained in
identical letters to tho mining asso
ciation and the raiders' federation.
Owners Will Accept.
Each body . was invited to meet
"to deal in the first instance with the
question of pumping and the preser
vation of the mines," the letters sug
gesting "that this matter should be
disposed of before any other ques
tion should be entered upon.
British mine owners this morning
conditionally accepted Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George's invitation, to con
fer with leaders of tlie miners' union
relative to a return of pumpmen and
engineers to the mines, pending ne
gotiations for a settlement of the
coal strike.

Stillman Pays
$62,500 Alimony;
Appeal Not Filed
Action Taken to Mean Plain

STATE NEWS
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bea Leaned Wire.
New York, April 8. James A.
Stillman paid up. He wrote out a
check for $62,500 and did not file the
promised appeal in the alimony
counsel fees' issue of his divorce
suit against. Mrs. "Fifi" Stillman
and his challenge of the legitimacy
cf her youngest son,. Guy. '
At the last minute the check was
sent to M-rs. S-tillman's attorneys,
with an explanation that Mr. Still
man's attorneys urged them to ask
the reieree to resume as early as
possibly the taking of testimony.
Mr. Stillman's attorneys added
that as they have until May 4 to
file tho appeal, they reserve . that
right pending developments.
Stripped of all the . legal terms,
the action today means that Mr.
Stillman has decided not to avail
himself of the opportunity and re
sponsibility of getting before the
public those Beauvais letters alleged
to have been written in endearing
terms to Mrs. Stillraan and her so
called "confession" letter.
Mrs. Stillman's attorneys have
sent representatives to Canada to
try and induce the witnesses to re
turn and to get other witnesses to
disprove the misconduct charges.
Her attorneys were at court . in
White Plains today, ready to file
a motion for another $2,500 expense
if Mr. Stillman had filed the appeal
instead of paying up in the allotted
three days' time.
The hearings before Referee, Glca
son, which the banker's lawyers
want speeded uo.- will be secret.
There l as been only one hearing of !
witnesses so lar.
Mrs. Stillman is to introduce a
number to testify, about "Mrs. Flor
ence Lttds" and "Mr. Leeds." iden.
tified as Mr. Stillman and alleged to
oe tils tatner of 30-month-old Jay
