Additional workmen have joined the movement in Belfast, where the mob looted several shops and smashed many windows. Several thousand additional Clyde workers are out. Twenty thousand marched to the Glasgow power station and demanded that the men should strike, but there was no response. There is a disorganised tramway service. The men pulled the trolleys of? the wires. The Minister of Labour declined to lie interviewed by a Clyde deputation.
