BRITISH MINING DISPUTE
THE. STRIKE AS POLITICAL
WEAPON
(Rec. June. 24, 11.20 p.m.)
London, June 23. Mr. A. J. Balfour, speaking at: the Constitutional Club, said that as long as they left to the employers .the. right, to lock out, so long must they leave to the men the right to strike. Society would break down if these matters were loft uncontrolled. He was sure that the country, notwithstanding the suffering inflicted by the present dispute, would not tolerate the use of the strike as a political weapon wielded by irresponsible politicians to coerce the Government, Parliament, and the public, not, for industrial purposes, but for revolutionary ends.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
