THE UNIVERSAL STRIKE.
OPPOSED BY SOCIALIST CONGRESS.
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] Berlin, September 17.
The Socialist Congress at Jena hotly debated a universal strike if the Government failed to reform the Prussian franchise. It was decided, by 240 votes to 150, to support the executive, which is against an immediate strike. The militants demand sharp revolutionary tactics. The executive warned the Conference that a strike was madness and would lead to a catastrophe. Other speakers recalled the 8,000,000 bourgeoise, including millions of working men, were opposed to a strike by four and a half millions of Social Democrats. To be successful the workmen must be provided with food for several weeks. Herr Bernstein stated that the Swedish strike had resulted in a collapse of the trade unions.
