Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Printers Strike. DESCRIPTION: There was a bit of a flare-up in London. It all started with an orderly demonstration against what the strikers said was black labour. When some of the demonstrators got into the office of the paper concerned, things began to happen. These pictures show how it went: our cameraman, Mike Samuelson, was in the thick of it. Eventually, order was restored. SHOTLIST: Very good riot material: of striking printers fighting police.
