Protestant Strike Looms as British Bolsters Northern Ireland Forces
The British government adds six hundred troops to reach fifteen thousand five hundred in Northern Ireland ahead of a Protestant general strike planned for midnight. About three thousand more troops stand by in England, with seventeen thousand eight hundred militiamen and reservists in the province. The Ulster Unionist Action Committee led by Ian Paisley and Ernest Baird seeks a military offensive against IRA guerrillas and restoration of the suspended provincial parliament. Roy Mason rejects the demands and vows decisive action from the start if the strike proceeds.
