In consequence of the coal strike, there is a general reduction in train services. Ninety thousand minors are working in Wales and Monmouthshire, i here is sufficient coal at the docks to supply the steamers for months. The miners in South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire have resumed work. March 15. The Durham coal-owners have issued a manifesto disclaiming any responsibility for the strike.
