In iiiV article ’ hiipea'riiig in the 1 “Fort nightly Review,” the writer deal; with strikes and the great industrial troubles now looming large on the horizon. He quotes from the leader; of syndicalism to show that its aim hthe overthrow of the present capitalis tic society, and the substitution o; unions: iof working 1 imeh, cdritrqllihf the whole of i'ndiistfyT, He ’ re:commends Great Britain,.bo sawe, from 'thi{ : propaganda; her i ‘Workmen, •• -whoso bodies -are ; now ' being starved ' 'hi wages insufficient' for. healthy sub sistence, and, whose minds are thm-. left, an easy prey to this fierce inter national contagion. The solution c the problem, however, does not ye. appear,' and in Britain and on th«. Continent there are gravest misgiv ing. The great coal strike at Hoim is now in its fourth week, and the outlook is not improving. The Min ers’ Federation seeks to paralyse ah industry, and has so far been sue cessful that ruin and panic are abroad.
