FORD WORKS STRIKE.
8000 Involved At Dagenham Factory. PAY CUTS RESENTED. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, March 27. Three thousand of the 7000 employees of the Ford factory at Dagenham (Essex), the largest in Europe, struck without the sanction of the union owing to reductions ranging from 3d to 7d an hour, though the company asserts that the reduced wages exceed the trade union minimum. Subsidiary factories bring the strikers to 8000. The strikers blocked the traffic and prevented clerks from returning to work. They also picketed the road six deep outside the double barricades, which the compp.ny had erected to prevent a. rush on the factory.
