RAILWAYS DISPUTE
LOCAL STRIKE EXTENDED IN LONDON. UNION LEADERS DENIED A HEARING. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) LONDON, October 13. There is an extension of a hitherto local strike, which began on Monday, when platform men at the Euston and Saint Pancras railway stations ceased work. The dispute arose over the employment at Saint Pancras of a ticket collector, aged 63, who refused to join the National Union of Railwaymen, and yesterday some hundreds of men, mainly porters and ticket collectors, were out on strike. The company announced that men who had not returned to work by tomorrow would be treated as discharged. Meetings were subsequently held in other neighbouring L.M.S. goods depots and at two of them, employing a total of about 17 000 men, decisions were taken to support the strikers, by withdrawing their labour. Recognised union leaders were denied a hearing.
