Mineral Water Trade Dispute.

HC Deb 21 April 1911 vol 24 cc1331-2W

Mr. LANSBURY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that over one hundred girls and women are on strike at Messrs. Idris and Company, mineral water manufacturers, on account of the president of their union, who has been thirteen years in the service of the firm, being dismissed for being three minutes late in reaching work; and whether his Department will take action to investigate and report upon the facts of the dispute?

Mr. BUXTON

My attention has been called to this dispute. I am now in communication with the parties with a view to a Conference.
