WELSH MINERS STRIKE IN
DEFIANCE 0F1 GOVERNMENT
London, July 1C—Defying the i
government to collect the fine of
$25 per day each in case of st-ike,
150,000 Welsh miners quit work
yesterday. •' There is no rioting re- J
ported in the strike districts.
It is not believed that the strikes j
can last long as ' the union men |
ar« divided and the union also lacks ]
funds to support a long strike.
It is barely possible that the
government will use the miners who j
have enlisted but who have not j
left the country to take the place j
of the strikers.
