LABOUR VICTORY
BOTHWELL BYE-ELECTION. LIBERAL FORFEITS DEPOSIT. London, March 28. The Labour victory at Bothwell is ascribed to a strong feeling against a reduction m the miners’ wages suggested by the Coal Commission’s report as the constituency is a mining one. The Liberal candidate forfeited his deposit. The big drop in the Conservative poll is attributed to many Conservatives abstaining from voting owing to Labour’s strength. The new member once represented North Lanark.—Reuter.
