UNREST AMONG RAILWAY MEN.

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 10, 8.0 a.m.) London, December 9. Meetings of railway men at Hull, Sunderland, York, and Darlington refused to support the strike, though the North-Eastern men recognised the Amalgamated Society. The letter was impotent and merely to explain that they were not supporting the strikers. The North-Eastern noticed that 3500 strikers were dismissed, and asked for the return of uniforms and equipment from the strikers. There is unrest among the Midland railway men, who are alleging victimisation of the Union leaders.
