COAL CRISIS
[Australia & N.Z. Cable Association.] RAMSAY MacDONALD’S VIEWS. LONDON, June 3. Mr Ramsay .MacDonald, in a trcncfliant attack on the general strike as a. weapon, in an article in the “ Socialists’ Review,” asserts it has no goal which, when reached, can be regarded as a. victory. If fought to a. finish it Would ruin trade unionism and the Government could meantime create a resolution. Many blamed the General Council and others the miners. The real blame was the general strike itself and those who preached it without consideration and induced the workers to blunder into it. I hope the result will be a thorough reconsideration of trades union tactics in large industrial operations, either in offence or defence. If the wonderful unity of British Labour which had impressed the world were shown at the ballot box, Labour could solve most of the difficulties.
