The “Daily Mail’s” Riga correspondent Heports that the Moscow paper “Pravda” says Strikes in Australia, Poland and Czeeho-Slovak-ia mark the beginning of a new wave olf labour '’disturbances which will sweep the world. Pravda is'emphasising long accounts published in Soviet newspapers regarding unrest in Australia and other countries, and the paper adds: “For the Third Intelnaional this is a signal for the beginning of class warfare. Much depends on the activity of Communist agitators abroad, acting on Moscow’ s__ instructions regarding the control of strikes and . the beginning of class conflicts.
COMPLETE STOPPAGE AT LODZ WARSAW, October 15.
It was because the industrialists had agreed that only an increase of five per cent, in wages be given on the condition that Labour should refrain from asking for further increases until July of 1929, that Labour proclaimed the general strike on Friday last. This was in order to force the industi ialists to make further concessions. Some of the factories resumed work on Monday, thus causing the Strike Committee specially to meet, when it was decided to reinforce the strike, and immediately the strikers stopped several street cars, and prevented the water and sewage labourers from continuing work. The personnel of all the cinemas, theatres, hospitals and sick funds have joined the strikers. The Socialists have permitted only two officials to remain at work in to organise the distribution of relief to the families of the strikers.
