    Is this the shortest strike in history?

    Belfast Newsletter, Tuesday, March 18, 1913

    WAITERS' TEN MINUTES' STRIKE

    One of the shortest strikes on record occurred last night at the Hotel Cecil, London, where the waiters declined to continue their duties whilst preparations were in progress for a dinner for which seven hundred covers were laid. The demands made by the waiters were similar to those at other London hotels which during the weekend were the scenes of strikes. Within ten minutes the management conceded the union’s demands, the guests attending the dinner being unaware of how narrowly their gathering had escaped being upset.

    A "DRY" DAY.

    Free Staters Cross the Border to Get a Drink.

    THE WEARING OF THE GREEN.

    St. Patrick's Day was fine and dry throughout Ireland, and in The Free State it was "dry" in another sense by reason of the operation of the recent Licensing Act which forbids the opening of public-houses on 17th March. This had the result of causing a roaring trade to be done in the public-houses on the North side of the border, many resident in Free State counties bordering on Ulster coming across to drown their shamrocks.

    It would appear that this photo was cropped. The original has silly walkers waving boaters at serious talkers. c7.alamy.com/comp/2BWAKKC/the-conference-at-buckingham-pa...

    "DEMONSTRATIVE IRISH GUARDS. REPRIMAND IN BARRACKS. The Irish Guards, a number of whom loudly cheered Messrs. Redmond and Dillon on Wednesday as they were returning from the palace conference, were yesterday paraded in Wellington Barracks. Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. Morris, addressing the men, said he was sorry that soldiers in uniform should have given way to a political demonstration. NOTIFICATION TO SOLDIERS. The War Office has issued an order prohibiting soldiers from associating with the Ulster and National Volunteers.

    According to the Wikipedia article on the Government of Ireland Act 1914: To save prolonged debate in parliament, George V called the Buckingham Palace Conference with two MPs each from the Liberal, Conservative, IPP and Irish Unionist parties. The conference, held between 21 and 24 July 1914, achieved very little.
