COAL STRIKE
CLASH WITH POLICE.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)
LONDON, October 14
Two thousand idle miners came in conflict with the police at Perberton (Lancashire), where 400 men resumed work. The crowd refused to disperse, and the police charged, using batons. Several were injured and many were arrested.
APPEAL FOR PEACE
LONDON, October 13. “Honour is satisfied on both sides,” said Sir W. Joynson Hicks (Home Minister) in appealing to the coal owners and the miners to cease the fighting. Economic facts, and not greed, on either side had started the struggle. It was now time that both sides appreciated the community’s sufferings.
