London, Nov. 5.
The Railwaymen announce that they deeply regret that the Government has failed to arranged @ conference between the directors and the men, which, they opine, might have resulted in a settlement. They have decided to take a ballot of the men to settle whether they will agree accept tLe Commission's report or whether they are prepared to strike in favour of recognition of the Unions and of a programme to be drawn up by the railwaymen's exeecutive. The ballot papers are to be returned on November 5.—Reuter.
