A mass meeting called by the executive of the

Police Union at Stepney Central Hall decided to

call out the London police last night. The proceed-

ings were private, but afterwards a statement was

made by the chairman of the Police Union, Mr,

James Marston, to the effect that the Police and

Prison Officers’ Union had declared for an imme-

diate withdrawal of service. It would, he declared,

become a national movement in a very short time

unless the Government listened to their repeated

request for consideration. They were determined

that the Police Bill as far as it affected the Police

Federation could not be accepted by any member

of the service belonging to the Union, and they

demanded the withdrawal of such unjust legisla-

tion without further delay.

The Union maintain that the Government are

endeavouring seriously to harass the trade

union movement, and they protest very

strongly against the attacks which they allege

are being made on the Police and Prison Offic-

ers’ Union. Especially do they object to the

Government scheme of representation for

the whole of the police forces of the country,

whereby, it is stated, every officer will be

called upon to withdraw from his union, with

the alternative of dismissal from the service.

The decision to call a strike was reached yesterday

by the executive, who were in continuous session

throughout Wednesday and Wednesday night.

The meeting, at which the decision was

announced, had been called in the ordinary way,

and the majority of those present were unaware

of what was to happen. A prominent official of the

union, in conversation with a representative of

The Daily Telegraph last evening, said that the

executive at this meeting decided themselves to

strike forthwith, and to put the matter to the

meeting at Stepney in the evening. “The whole

question,” said the official, “is the right of police-

men and prison officials to organise in accordance

with their own views. It is a protest against the

action of the authorities to compel men to become

members of a federation created by those in

power, under pain of severe penalties.” No infor-

mation was forthcoming as to the number of

members of the union in the Metropolitan and

City Forces. “We expect a big response immedi-

ately the news becomes public property,” contin-

ued the official. Asked if it was contemplated that

the metropolis would immediately be without

police, the statement was made “that all who were

members of the union would go on strike.”

100 MEN OUT

COMMISSIONER’S WARNING

Sir Nevil Macready stated to a representative of

The Daily Telegraph that it was not anticipated

that more than a few hundred men would leave

their duty. Every man who refused duty would be

forthwith dismissed the force.

In seven divisions at eleven p.m. fewer than

100 men had been reported as having left

duty. In the D division there were 24, in the N

division 30, and in the X division 39. In the

other districts the numbers were negligible.

Sir Edward Ward, when informed last night that

the union had declared a strike, said: “The men

have got everything, they want. They have been

very well treated, and they have nothing to strike

for. The large proportion of them are sensible men

who have nothing to do with strikes.”

CITY POLICE PARADE

At ten o’clock the strike had not affected the City

police force. At Moor-lane Station the men

paraded as usual.

Messages received from various Metropoli-

tan Police Divisions up to midnight indicate

few, if any, steps had been taken to put the

strike declaration in operation. Our Wool-

wich Correspondent telephoned: There was

talk of a strike in the force at Woolwich, but

up to a late hour no action had been taken,

and there were signs that the night would

pass in peace. At the Blackheath-road station,

however, one sergeant struck.

In the Bermondsey district no information had

reached the police regarding the strike up to ten

o’clock.

The police were on duty as usual in Hammer-

smith, and conditions were normal. Up to a

late hour no strike action had been taken, by

men of the “R” Division.

The police of Islington went on duty as usual and

no immediate trouble was expected.
