THE LABOUR QUESTION.
THE EIGHT HOURS* MOVEMENT. THE MINERS STRIKE. Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. London, May 13. Mr. Ben Tillett considers that Mr. Gladstone's reply to the Trades Council re the eight hours' deputation, was evasive, that of Mr. Morley insulting, and it was much more preferable to have Lord Salisbury's undisguised opposition to the scheme. Parleying between Durham miners and colliery proprietors has failed to make a satisfactory arrangement. It is thought that the Forest of Dean miners are likely to strike against a reduction of wages. In the north-east portion of the city a hundred thousand persons are subsisting on charity, this result being brought about owing to the strike of the Durham miners. In Middlesboro, Yorkshire, 14,000 people are receiving relief, as against 2000 last year.
