THE STRIKE IN BRITAIN
TILLETT IN THE LIMELIGHT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, June 20. A hunger inarch of men, women and children from Barking to Tower Hill collected £BO in coppers. Mr. Ben Tillett, in a speech to his followers, blamed the Government for doing its utmost to break the strike. He further stated that unless it was settled honorably the workers would drape the East End with crape and play the Dead March when the King visited the Albert Dock. A NATIONAL STRIKE FEARED. Received 21, 11.30 p.m. London, June 21. Mr. Brett, secretary of the Shipping Federation, says that the strike is over if Mr. Askwith will only leave it alone. The Federated Employers refused the demand of the shipyard workers for an eight hours' day and increased wages for piece-workers. A ballot will be taken, and it is feared that a national stoppage of half a million men is inevitable soon, involving a further half million.
