8 MAY 1926
There was no important change in the general strike situation.
An official announcement states that no serious disorder occurred across the Border. The work of feeding the people and of maintaining light and power and essential communications is being successfully accomplished.
In an article in the British Gazette, Lord Oxford says the real victims of the general strike are the common people.
An order has been issued by Sheriff Croft, on the recommendation of the Magistrates, ordering all Edinburgh public-houses to close to-day at 3 p.m.
