On the back of our own trouble with South Wales miners there is something about the ramour of a strike at Krupp's distinctly refreshing When we have regard to all the circumstances, it is, indeed, very remarkable that a strike should over precisely now at this the greatest headquarters for munitions in the world. It was supposed that strikes were impossible there, owing to the fear instilled into the workmen of losing the benefits accruing to them of good houses, cheap food, and old-age pensions.

Yet that party has made great progress in Essen in recent years, just as it has throughout the Ger- man States as a whole. The German workman, wrote an American visited Krupp's works at Essen, has a wh rope about his neck, and is to-day being driven to battle. The German military machine is Krupp feudalism on gigantis scale.”
Another rendering of this sentiment would be to say that, compared with the free Briton, the Germata working-man is a poor creature, especially the German working-man who is in bomiage to Krupps. To that extent this strike, if it assumes great dimensions, must be symptomatic of serious rot in the affairs of our enemy. The workman in Krupp's is provided against want all his days, His employers have paid special attention to the housing of their workpeople, and have built houses largely on the cottage system.
