United Kingdom and Ireland
Face the Worst Industrial
Condition in Years
BRUNT OF TROUBLE
IN BELFAST, IRELAND
Shorter Hours With Same
Pay Is the Demand in
Most Places

London, Jan. 2S.--It is estimated that
nearly 100000 men and women are idle
in the United Kingdom and Ireland be-
cause of strikes in various trades, ere
ating one of the most serious situations
industrially that the country has had to
face in many years. Half of the strik-
ers are in Belfast, where the strike
movement is continuing to spread.
This city of Belfast by night is in
virtually total darkness, the hospitals
being the only places where lights can
be shown without danger of attacks by
strikers. Everywhere else the display
of light has caused either the stoning
or the storming of the premises. In
cases where such drastic action was not
taken the people were forced by threats
to screen their lights
Fortunately last night was snowy and
wet by turns; otherwise, it is consid-
cred, there might have been more trou-
Bile. This morning men in the various
smaller industrial plants who had re-
manned at work, came out for satety's
sake, the picketing having become more
extensive. One of the morning newspa-
pers was forced to suspend publication,
The shipyard workers are opposed to
the strike and are endeavoring to ar
range a meeting for Wednesday.
There is no change in the situation on
the Clyde, where 10000 shipyard work
ers are out, nor in London, where $4,000
ship repairers are striking and have re-
fused an offer to refer the question Of
wages to a committee.
To these must be added $4,000 Fife
shire miners, G.0OO South Wales miners,
5000 Edinburgh shipwrights, 1000 Man
chester dockers, 1000 South Wales ship
yard men and number Of Glasgow mu.
nicipal workers.
Except in London, where the question
is one of wages, all these strikes are
due to a demand for shorter hours, with
the same privileges and wages as pre-
vailed when longer hours were worked.
