RESISTANCE BY DUTCH
HEROIC GENERAL STRIKE Commenting on the Netherlands resistance movement, the November issue of Trade Union World says:— "It is now known that in all Nazioccupied countries underground resistance has been much greater than public opinion in free countries had dared to hope. When the history of these individual and collective acts of bravery, which cost hundreds of thousands of lives on the European continent, is written, the heroic general strike of the Netherlands railwaj'men will have a prominent place. One thing is certain, Netherlands railwayman, their families and the population as a whole have, through their heroic and unflinching attitude, effectively contributed towards the success of the Allies in the Maas battle, although the price of their heroism has been a heavy one."
