Wag© Claim
Miners’ delegates today decided that the, minimum wage of £5 weekly is not good enough, and instructed their leaders to press for more. Sir William Lawther, Miners’ Union president, announced this decision after a national executive meeting in Cardiff. The miners thus join engineers, shipbuilders and railway shopmen in going ahead with wage claims in defiance of Sir Stafford Cripps’ appeal.
The executive decided, however, to reconsider the claim of the Trade Union Congress makes new recommendations on wage freezing.
