(Rec. November 22, 7.35 p.m.)
London, November 22,
“Is it peace? No; it is not peace,” declared Mr. A. J. Cook (secretary of the Miners’ Federation), in a violent speech at a Labour meeting at Stalybridge. “Toryism thought it had won, but it had won only by starving the men out.” Mr. Cook warned the owners not to ring the joy bells too soon. They would begin the struggle again, “from the day they are back, to wipe out the Eight Hour Act. They would start an intensive campaign, and so organise the union that they would be led to victory. Their lines had been bent, but not broken.” Mr. Cook added: “We have been beaten, but the fight is by no means ended.”
AGREEMENT TO RESUME AT NOTTINGHAM London, November 21. Largely owing to Earl Spencer’s efforts the Nottingham owners and miners have agreed to terms of r- sumption covering five years, including wages, which are governed by results The working day has been extended by half an hour.
