YORKSHIRE MINERS
LARGE NUMBER ON STRIKE THE TROUBLE , SPREADING (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 29. The number of miners striking in Yorkshire has reached 80,000, with 46 pits involved, according to the Ministry of Fuel. The Daily Telegraph says this local dispute makes Yorkshire’s vote doubtful in the national miners’ poll on the Government’s plan for a four-year peace pact, and may have an important bearing on it. The returns are due on April 8. About 2500 miners in West Stirlingshire, East Dumbartonshire, and North-west Lanarkshire struck to-day because the pay-as-you-earn income tax plan necessitated a change in the wages period.
