(Received 10.00 a.m.) London, January 2fc
The building strikers claimed the unemployment benefit under the Insurance Act on the ground that they were dismissed after due notice. The authorities refused because of the existence of a trade dispute. It is estimated that 31,000 are idle in the building trade, and 13,000 coal porters and carmen. The coal strikers are granting permits to the hospitals, but refused the Salvation Army on the ground that they intended to sell coal.
