The General Strike - incidents of the Strike 1926
The arrest of a woman (between two policemen in centre foreground) at Hammersmith Broadway in West London during the General Strike. Though largely peaceful, there still were some significant disturbances during the strike. In support of a strike by coal miners over the issue of threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called a General Strike in early May 1926. The strike only involved certain key industrial sectors (docks, electricity, gas, railways) but, in the face of well-organised government emergency measures and lack of real public support, it collapsed after nine days
