BRITAIN’S POSTAL STRlKE.—Londoners find a pillar-box in Queen Victoria street full and sealed. This photograph was taken during the unofficial strike by 10,000 of London’s 12,500 postmen last week, when many pillar-boxes were not cleared and mail piled up in post offices and at railway stations. The unofficial strike spread to other centres and was followed by a day’s official stoppage throughout Britain. The postmen are now back at work, but refuse to work overtime. They claim a 10 per cent increase in pay.
