The West End tailors are gradually to work but the East End workers demand a nine hours' day (less l£ hours for meal times) day work instead of piecework and improved workshops accommodation. The Amalgamated Tailors' Union officials adhere to their refusal to countenance the strike. MINERS' GRIEVANCE. Received May 15, 10.40 a.m. LONDON, May 14. The miners' grievance in South Wales is that Lord St. Aldwyn did not sufficiently recognise the earnings of piecework men, therefore the owners were encouraged to put everybody on day wages.
