Strikes Show Signs of Easing as Mediation Efforts Increase
Reports indicate strikers are returning to work as mediation efforts focus on the coal industry dispute. Sir Herbert Samuel and the Marquis of Reading push for a formula to resume negotiations, with the king aware of the mediation. A train wreck at Victoria Station caused three deaths and eight injuries, blamed by some on rail tampering. Clerkenwell saw four incendiary fires and two arrests, while an oil dump in the East End was halted by police. Miners’ leader A J Cook confirms independent talks to end the deadlock and notes wages as a key issue, with peace possible if the government and coal owners recognize that. The Commons faced criticism over the British Gazette’s failure to publish the Archbishop of Canterbury’s peace appeal.
