Although settlements have been 1 effected of the more-serious strikes, I there still are many sporadic ones' < over trivial causes, especially in the colliery districts indicating a general industrial unrest. i Four thousand Clydachvale col- , liers struck over the company's policeman investigating a discro- j paucy in a miner's pay ticket. The Unionists demanded the po- 1 liceman's dismissal, alleging that j he made an improper suggestion } during his visit to the miner's . house. The company's refusal } of this demand led to the mine 1 being laid idle. The Stanton L ' miners' agent declared that these technical stoppages were a sheer j farce; the South Wales Federation {■ :iad passed a resolution that all a :hese employed miners should be- j ong to the Federation, yet only r i few districts in Wales were pre- \ lared to strike for the principle, -j \lr Stanton added that the (jues- \ ion should bo a national one. j
