Pictured at the House of Commons this afternoon (Monday) are, left to right ERNEST DIXON, BARRY COOPER, MR TOM DRIBERG, MP., BILL WELHAM (Welfare), VICTOR SHEATS and CHARLIE WILLIAMS. They were there to have talks in the current dispute relating to pay and conditions of the apprentices at Newmarket, who withdrew their labour on Thursday last. The four boys are senior stable lads and they are supporting the apprentices, at the same time seeking a higher minimum wage for themselves.
