London, Nov. 4. Work has been partially resumed at the collieries, but many districts are not resuming until Monday as a protest against the delegates' conference calling off the strike. A Resentment in Lanarkshire found vent in scenes of wild disorder at Hamilton, near Mr. Smillie's residence at Larkhall. A crowd of young miners gathered at the miners' headquarters, and demanded to see the leaders. They then raided the buildings, whereupon the staff fled.
The police intervened, but the crowd indulged in stone throwing, window smashing, and looting shops.
Similar disturbances occurred in two other mining towns in the district.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
