STRIKE OF PITMEN IN NORTHUMBERLAND.-
About 500 pitmen, belonging to Seaton Delaval Colliery, in
Northumberland, struck work on Monday because the mas-
ters would not make an advance of 3d. a ton, and as their
leaders have been taken into custody, there is a fear of dis-
turbance, and a strong detachment of county constabulary
was sent down to the colliery to maintain the peace on
Thursday. The men are under an engagement to work
from month to month, and to give and take a month s
notice before leaving their employment, but because of a
briskness in the steam coal trade the men all struck with-
out giving an hour's notice, with a view to force the ma-,-
ters to give the advance. Eight of the more active among
the men 'were committed two months each, to gaol on
Thursday, and other fourwere taken into custody in the
justice-room at North Shields, and remanded. The strike
is an illustration of the tyranny of numbers. The more in-
telligent of the men before the Bench stated that they broke
at
their contract in violation of their better sense, but that
they had to submit to the majority.
