THE BEST STRIKE
STRIKE AT THE BALLOT BOX.
LONDON, 6th September.
Preparatory to the fifty-eighth Trades Union Congress on Monday, 700 delegates have assembled at Bournemouth. The coal crisis is the dominant interest of all sections. «The leaders addressed a public demonstration. Mr. E. Bevin said: "We will need fewer unions and more union. If the coal industry is allowed to carry on for the next fiv.e years in the slip-shod manner prevailing since 1921 the same crisis is bound to recur. Discipline is needed, not merely in strikes, but in ending strikes." Mr. Ben Turner said he hoped a general strike would not be needed again. "The best national strike this and any other country can indulge in is at the ballot box, guided by reason, intelligence, and humanity." The newspapers anticipate that the Communists will force an immediate discussion on the general strike.
