Although the Lancashire weavers are ' opposed to a lightning strike, a bitter | struggle seems inevitable and a quarter | of a million weavers will be withdrawn from the factories on August 27. It is suggested that Lord Derby act as mediator. A London omnibus strike is also a strong possibility, for 25,000 drivers and conductors at a ballot overwhelmingly rejected proposed wage cuts. They are confident that if they strike they will be joined by 43,000 tramwaymen, j who are dissatisfied as a result of recent cuts.
