The big battalions of the Amalgamated Engineering Union in the Clyde area

The London Taxi Drivers, at their own request, have withdrawn their services,
and the Locomotive Enginemen are out to a man.
The Caernarvon County Council appeals to the Government to re-open
negotiations on a basis of suspension oflock-out notices, calling off the General
Strike, and calling on the Government to provide the necessary financial
arrangements during negotiations.
LATEST REGARDING PRINTING TRADES.
The big London Dailies were effectively prevented from printing yesterday
by non-unionists who joined up.

A fund has been started locally, in case the strike should be of long duration.
This fund will be administered by the local Committee. The Treasurer is Mr

worken in several Engineering shops have already agreed to contribute Three
shillings per week.

RESULT OF YESTERDAY’S FOOTBALL.
