BRITAIN’S STRIKES.
From the armistice to the end of November, 1920 (a period of two years), there were in Great Britain 3,978 strikes of one sort and another. These involved 5,836,655 workpeople, and no fewer than 61,483,000 working days were lost. In April, 1921, began the calamitous coal dispute, which lasted for three months and shook the commercial fabric of England to its foundations. Most of these disputes were caused by the preaching of Bolshevism, inspired by Lenin’s followers in this country, and they were mostly intended as a direct attack on the capitalist system. —Morning Post.
