THE COLLIERS OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—
BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.—The colliers in the surround-
ing district are now on strike to resist a proposed re-
duction of, some say, 3d. per day or more. The iron
trade having received an impetus it is supposed the col-
liers may succeed, as the works cannot progress without
the product of their labour. It is an ill-advised strike,
considering the season of the year and the difficulties
which have existed in the way of affording them perma-
nent employment.
