The provincial papers do not appear to have been affected as seriously as the London journals. The Bristol Times and Mirror on May 10th published ten large pages and included a number of sports pictures and other regular features.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS:
The British Worker was at great pains to persuade the people that the general strike was not a challenge to the Con- stitution. An announcement in big type reads:
The General Council does not chal- lenge the Constitution.
It is not seeking to substitute an
constitutional government.
The Council is engaged in as, I

In any settlement, the only issue to be decided will be an industrial issue, not political, not constitu- tional.
There is no Constitutional crisis.

This was the advice which the Daily Mail offered to the public:
