WORLD STRIKE.
LABOR LEADER’S PLAN. FALLACY POINTED OUT. NO AID TO STABILITY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright Received Aug. 20, 5.5 p.m. London, August 19. The conference of the Federation of General Workers passed a resolution expressing dissatisfaction with the Government in its failure to relieve the industrial depression and unemployment, and condemning the adoption of the doles system instead of providing rej munerative and beneficial work. Mr. Ben Tillett, M.P. (secretary of the General Workers’ Union of Great Britain) said he would like to induce the world’s workers to down tools. Until financiers had arranged their !ifferences and stabilised exchanges there was no chance of the cost of living falling, and war in a viler form than the Great War was imminent. It would not necessarily be open war, but a war by paralysis. Mr. J. R. Clynes (Leader of the P&rliamentary Labor Party) was of opinion that no international strike of any kind would solve the problem, which must be approached from a class and party standpoint.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
