The Scottish strike was at bottom a protest against the "spread over" working schedule under which the mine owners proposed to wwk their shafts in five BJhour shifts and one 5 hour shift a week. instead of on the straight 1 l-ii hour day provided in the new Coal Mines Act. laven- ry thousand miners walled out last Monday, when the new act become effective.

The decision in call off the strike was reached ulaminously at a meet. m; ofuulnm leaders in Glasgow.
