STRIKE AT DAGENHAM
FORD FACTORY EMPLOYEES
WITHOUT UNION SANCTION
(Received March 28, 2 p.m.) N LONDON, March 27.
Three thousand of the seven thousand employees of the Ford motor factory at Dagenham, the largest in Europe, struck without the sanction of their union owing to reductions, ranging from 3d to 7d an hour, though the company asserts that the reduced wages exceed the trades union minimum. Subsidiary factories bring the strikers to eight thousand.
The strikers blocked traffic, prevented the clerks from returning, and picketed the road six deep outside the double barricades which the company erected to prevent a rush.
