Alton Parker, 73, Democratic presidential nominee in 1904, dies.
There are several deaths in railway accidents in Britain, which is what happens when your trains are driven by volunteer strike-breakers.
No effect!
The NYT’s T. R. Ybarra sees the General Strike™ “steadily sagging.”
In Parliament, Churchill defends the government-produced British Gazette, which he edits, as “the only means of spreading authentic news throughout the country.” In fact, “authentic news” here means lying outrageously about the effectiveness of the strike and the degree to which business is going on and suppressing, as Lloyd George points out, the appeal by the Archbishop Canterbury for a negotiated settlement.
Though not mentioned in the paper, the BBC has also been turned into a government propaganda outlet, telling lies about strikers returning to work and not allowing any Labour types on air throughout the strike.
