Daily Telegraph, September 10, 1915. Great Britain is the classic land of strikes. Strikers are sacred among us. Industrial compulsion is rank heresy. That is one of our difficulties, and by no means the least formidable. The nation, despite the superb example of patriotic heroism given by all classes, parties, provinces and colonies of the Empire, is still deficient in cohesiveness.
The terms of the settlement amaze the outside world. The terms are especially amazing to the American and well they may be. The employes of the underground railroad in Paris are GOVERNMENT employes. Their strike inconvenienced the public, and even the radical French people were annoyed with the strikers.
In the lumber mills of Aberdeen, South Dakota, explosions and riots occurred. In Hoquiam, Washington, a twelve-foot stockade surmounted by barbed wire entanglements failed to protect the mills from the assaults of strikers.

They were down Canal Street and over the bridge before we knew it."

The foundry was a wreck, but even this did not satisfy the fury of the strikers, which had been excited by the presence of the strike-breakers imported by McGinnis.

I know of a woman she isn't of our country but a woman who, to help the women strikers of an oppressed industry to hold out, gave a thousand pounds a week for thirteen weeks to get them and their children bread, and help them to stand firm. The masters were amazed. Week after week went by, and still the people weren't starved into submission. Where did this mysterious stream of help come from?
"Hello!" said he. "I thought I'd come to hear your friend the prophet." "Friend?" said T-S. "Who told you he's a friend o' mine?" "Why, the papers said " "Vell, de papers 're nutty!"
