| DISSATISFIED CLERKS. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received 28, 11 p.m. London, August 28. A number of railwaymen dismissed for participating in strikes have been engaged by the Amalgamated Society as a clerical staff at 30s a week. There is a good deal of extra work in connection with the Insurance Bill. They now threaten to strike because they have not received 355, the minimum wage recognised by the National Union of Clerks. A MINERS' STRIKE. Received 29, 12.10 a.m. London, August 28. Four thousand miners have struck at the Glamorgan collieries at Rhondda, ow ing to deductions for leaving the pit, in accordance with custom, on the occasion of a fatal accident. The men contend that the minimum wage ought not to affect this custom. The masters maintain that an appeal to the Conciliation Board ought to precede a strike. ■ ■ ..' ——
