ABSTRACT

Civic Guard-It was arranged that the Deputation when again interviewing the Lord Provost of Glasgow should suggest the formation of a Civic Guard, it being felt that quite a number of loyal workmen and Employers would join the Guard with a view to opposing the Strikers and protecting workmen against ‘massed picketing’ or intimidation…. Demobilised Soldiers-Discussion took place on whether the Employers should issue a manifesto to the effect that two months from this date should there be a number of demobilised soldiers still out of employment, the Employers would either by reduced hours or other means give them employment. It was remitted to the Deputation to consider what action, if any, should be taken in the matter.
