A DEAN ON THE STRIKE.
“Two things of inimon.se value have emerged from the strike. First there has been unveiled a. deep-seated, passionate love of our Constitution, a grim determination that our free institutions, built up by centuries of labor and sacrifice, shall not be replaced "by Bolshevism or Fascism. The English people still believe in Parliamentary Government; even the T.U.C. protested. and T for one believe them, that the strike was not aimed at discrediting the Constitution. The other remarkable feature was the chivalry displayed by the multitudes of men who went out on strike. "Willingly the great mass of .them threw their present and futurb prospects of livelihood to the winds for the sake"of a handful of men in another industry, who. they believed, were being coerced into living on starvation wages. -That, and no .sinister blow at the Constitution, was the backbone of the strike.”— The Dean of Manchester.
