STRIKE "BLUNDERBUSS."
AN OBSOLETE WEAPON. London, April 3. Mr. Alex. Thompson, writing in the Weekly Despatch, states: —"The present hope of more settled industrial conditions lies in the Industrial Act, which ifl largely the achievement of Mr. Ben 'lllicit, M.P., who has won more strikes tlian any living Labor leader, and has had more opportunity of weighing the cost, but now prefers the Court. The result of the first experience of the Act has justified his faith in it. The fiilly and undignified process of haggling and bluffing is unworthy of rational citizens and the clumsy blunderbuss of the strike is equally obsolete." The Railwaymen's Union has presented Mr.- J, H. Thomas, general secretary of the union, and his wife 'with the deeds of a new residence at Dulwich, in recognition of his services, especially during tlie September strike. Mr. Thomas, in replying, urged that there should be tl j most sparing recourse to strike threats, and that they should place reliance upon the new conciliation machinery and the electoral vote.
