INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE.
London, December 9
Knox, who was disorderly on a tram car, and assaulted the'police, was not dismissed by the company because he was a driver for twenty-two years; instead, lie was reduced to the position of pilot driver, with wages at 9s loss. The North-Eastern company’s manager recalls the Board of Trade’s to protect the public. It was no answer to the point to say that the accident happened after tnere was a conviction for drunkenness. Tim manager recalls the Boar dor J rade’s recent report on the Darlington accident, where it was described that drunkenness even when oft' duty was an unpardonable offence in an emdnediivcr. He was willing to reinstate Knox after a probationary period. The strikers doubt Knox’s guilt, and statu that in any case his conduct when off duty was not the company's business.
