THE BIG STRIKE.
Condon, March 3
There are twenty-three thousand industrial workers idle at Swansea.
Yesterday the Newcastle branch of the Railway Servants’ Society asked the Society to decline to handle trains conveying troops during the strike.
The duration of the strike is estimated at from a week to a fortnight. Owing to the strike the steamer Oroutes arranged to ship a thousand tons of coal at Plymouth. The coal porters demanded double pay, and the concession was granted.
A leatu.e of the strike in South Wales and elsewhere is the miners’ dcterminalioh to maintain order. A holiday spirit prevails. The Great Central Railway Company has yielded to the Sheffield manufacturers’ appeal, and delivered coal to them.
