I think they would have done in 1919 St Georges Square. Interestingly, it was English troops that were sent to Glasgow to put down the Red Clydeside, the government feared that Scottish troops would have sided with the workers campaigning against a 57 hour working week.

I've got some recollection that Churchill had striking miners shot? but wouldn't like to swear to it as I can't for the live of me remember where I've got that from
