NO “KNOCKERS-UP”
AND NO ALARM CLOCKS.
STRIKE OF RAILWAYMEN IN NOTTINGHAM.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) LONDON, January 11.
Because their “knockers-up” were withdrawn, about 400 engine drivers and firemen in the Nottingham area struck work without the consent of their union. The railway company was compelled to withdraw several trains, and strike pickets have been posted in the area.
• The company recently announced that, owing to a shortage of labour, the old-fashioned custom of employing “knockers-up” would be discontinued. The men claim that it is impossible to procure alarm clocks.
