POLITICAL STRIKES,
MUST FAIL OR MAKE, REVOLU- TION.
LONDON, Aug. 24.
The quarterly report of the general federation of trade nalons contains a warning by the management com mittee signed by Mr. Appleton. It says the period between Nov. and May next will be fateful and perhaps tragic unless sanity returns and production increases.. Avoidable strikes have been precipitated and union funds needlessly dissipated. Some of the strikes were distinctly political in origin. Political strikes must either, fail or end in revolution. They are not against the capitalist but against the community..
It is not the capitalist who suffers but the people. Against such strikes the government must protect the people or surrender its functions. The effect of
such strikes is a decrease in production and an increase in price of all commodities. In view of the national situation and the possibility of a grave shortage it is imperative that trade unionists should face facts, namely, that the
is
competition over, that between the nations is forcefully operating, that food and raw materi als must be brought from countries over whose merchants our govern ment has no control, and that these commodities must be paid for with goods and not with paper,
