GRAVE-DIGGERS STRIKE.
Refused To Re-inter Child’s Body In England. Press Association—Copyright. (Received 11 a.m.) London, January 17. Consequent upon allegations which an inquiry by the Council failed to substantiate, that a child’s body was removed from a grave in the cemetery at Hebburn-on-Tyne without authority, the body was reinterred' in another grave in a new cemetery. A superintendent was appointed under whom six grave-diggers refused to work. They were thereupon discharged. Sixty Council employees then struck in sympathy, but substitutes for the grave-diggers, without interruption, carried out Satur day’s burials.
