An unauthorized strike of Tube men was declared at midnight

on Wednesday, in support of the Electric Railway shopmen. All these strikers are defying their unions, and it is impossible to say when we go to press whether the trouble will prove to be small or great. Meanwhile the Tube service is restricted though the Power Station is still working. The situation is com- plicated by an ultimatum which was suddenly and unexpectedly presented to the Railway Managers on Wednesday night by the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen. Their grievances, which were supposed to have been settled last January, are con- cerned with classifications.
