London faces a partial blackout, a shortage of bread, and a cut in industrial output as a result of the strike of 2000 maintenance men or the Gaslight and Coal Co., which is in its fifth day. The gas supply to 5000 consumers has already been cut by one-third. Depleted gas means less bread baked and the black-out of 1400 miles of streets in Whitehall, Chelsea Westminster, and Fleet street. In ’addition 20,000 industrial, producers, including exporters, may have their output curtailed.
