Marches of building workers against the pay freeze took place in London and Merseyside on Monday 7th November. Hundreds of men from London sites headed by kilted pipers, paraded through the West End streets crowded with shoppers. "Aren't your food prices going up? Aren't your rents going up? So what about your wages", one marcher roused them through his loudhailer as the march went its way to deliver a protest to the employers. The letter was handed in at the National Federation of Building Trades Employers' headquarters in Cavendish Street. It rejected the freezing of the November wages settlement of 3d an hour for tradesmen and 24d an hour for labourers, with deferment of the costof-living adjustment from March to Sentember 1967. The men said employers were attempting to shift the burden of the jobs tax on to the workers while building and building material firms' profits rocket.
