In England, London's journeymen tailors begin a lengthy work stoppage over pay.

In a year that had already seen labor disputes, notably on the railways, as the British economy continued to contract, London's journeymen tailors began a two month complete work stoppage over the method of calculating their wages. Despite support and assistance from other working men's groups, including the tailors of Paris across the English Channel, the strikers were forced eventually to concede to their employers' demands.  (By John Osborne)
