THE STRIKE INQUEST
SETTLEMENT OF THE ISSUE. (Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, January 22. The issue which agitated all branches of Trade. Unionism since the general strike was called off has been definitely closed with an overwhelming vindication of the Trades Union Congress’ action. The miners, supported by a couple of smaller unions, came prepared to fight, but the decision of the Standing Orders Committee ruling out the amendment proposing a vote of the rank and file virtually 6piked their guns. Nevertheless, their representatives raised ineffective protests, but the delegates generally supported the view that,(fas they were the body which mandated the General Council to call the strike, they should be the body to pass judgment on the action calling off the strike.
Most likely a Miners’ Delegates’ Conference will be held to consider the leadership and policy during the strike, in view of the verdict passed thereon by trades unionism.
