BRITISH YARDS IDLE

Many Workers Demand 40

Fight for A..

LONDON, Jan. 2I.--Many shipyards In
England. Scotland and Ireland were idle
to-day owing to strikes by the working
men for shorter hours and other i'm
provements in working conditions. There
is little. II any. coordination between the
different strikes.
A large number of workers on the
Clyde, for example. are striking for a
forty hour week. while Just across the
sea from them the shipyard workers at
Belfast laid down their tools because
the employers would not grant them a
forty-four hour week. The ship work
ers on the Thames. who are chiefly en-
ployed In repairing vessels in docks, on
the other hand. went out to-day for a
general Increase OF 1915 a week. The
workers at Lieth. Scotland. like those
on the Clyde. are striking for a forty
hour week
Belfast also is faced with q strike OF
municipal workers which would result
in the closing OF gas and electric plants
Glasgow is threatened with similar
situation owing to the demands of the
men there for shorter hours.
Other Industrial disputes which may
result in strikes are: The demand OF
the rallwaymen for eight hours q day
and pay for meal times; the demand OF
the station masters for recognition Of
their union the demand Of the Sheffield
engineers for a forty hour week: the
demand OF the South Wales colliery
managers for recognition ~ their union
and the demand of the National Trans
port Workers for a forty-four hour week
and revision OF wages.
Another dispute which will cause great
Inconvenience II 1t natures into a strike
is that between the bakers and their
employers. The men arc asking for the
abolition Of night baking, During the
war. owing to the order OF the Food
Comptroller that no bread less than
