Labor headquarters report the railway tie up as the most complete in history, with workers and families united.

British Cabinet Pressured to Concede in Negotiations
In the House of Commons former premier Lloyd George joined Labour in criticizing the rush to pull back from talks. Ramsay MacDonald urged concessions to reunite the government with the Trades Union Congress at the conference table. The debate highlighted how a small trigger could spark a general strike, citing the Daily Mall printers who halted publication without authority. MacDonald said unions sent a committee after the final government communication, only to find the room locked and dark. MPs pressed for the terms of a proposed formula, but details remained unavailable. Labour MP Maxton from Glasgow blamed the strike on the insult to a newspaper proprietor’s dignity and warned of national service disruption.
