Bitter feeling rises toward the backboys among older operatives. The backboys refused to heed National Organizer Charles A Miles and will negotiate with the company themselves. The local manager will forward the demand to mill owners in Scotland for decision, with any raise dated from the initial walkout. Mills closed with no demonstrations.
