LABOUR, ETC.
London, Dec. 6. The Scotch miners who struck some days ago for an advance in wages, have asked Mr Gladstone to intervene with the colliery owners. Mr Gladstone has declined to agree to a temporary reduction of the eight hours principle in the Government departments in the interests of the unemployed. He says that it is impossible to have a uniform rate of working hours iu the Government service. Dec. 7. One hundred thousand miners in Scotland are locked out. The report of the Commission set up to enquire into the matter justifies the action of the military in firing on the riotous strikers at Featnerstone, in September last. New York, Dec. 5. The strike of railway men at Lehigh in Pennsylvania has collapsed.
