Current affairs
In response to wage cuts and increased working hours for coal miners recommended by the Samuel Commission, the Trade Union Council calls a General Strike of workers in the key industries. Although over 1.5 million workers took part, the TUC finally gave in after nine days and called off the strike. The Trade Disputes and Trade Union Act of 1927 made it harder for workers to strike.Art and science

Katherine Phipps/Harding was the godmother of my wife Katherine Steves. She spent a lifetime of giving. She came to Canada, returned to England to assist in the war effort during WWII, and later moved to Australia. We have her letters to Kathy's mother Greta Casper.
A copy of the picture would be appreciated. The picture isn't online.

Katherine Harding nee Phipps is the daughter of the third Marquess of Normanby NOT the daughter of Sir William Davis (not Davies). I am a relation to her via my mother Daphne Phipps who was her second cousin . She lived near us in Sydney for many years before her passing in 1985. She was an interesting and wonderful lady and was very much missed at her passing by our family in Australia and her brother the 4th Marquess of Normanby and his family.
