| As a result of the accident to the 10.0 a.m. train from Edinburgh
the Civil Commissioner for Northumberland states:-
"The police are satisfied from evidence already available
that the act was deliberate and mischievous. Prompt steps have been
taken to trace the offenders and also to safeguard the travelling
public." |
Our Volunteers are demons for work but last night they gave
evidence of other talents. They organised at short notice a Sing-Song

Brig.-Gen. Rawson has been working as a Guard on the L.N.E.R. at
Hitchin. |
| Yesterday morning the L.N.E.R. notified their staff on strike
as follows:-
"At the conclusion of the strike the number of staff whom
the Company can employ will be materially reduced. The effect of
the Strike upon the trade of the country must be to diminish substantially
the tonnage of traffic to be handled, and it will necessarily take
a considerable time for trade to recover. The company wish it to
be understood that at the conclusion of the strike they will give
preference for employment to those of their staff who have remained
at work or who offer themselves for re-employment without delay.
