WORK AT WEMBLEY
The collapse of the Wembley strike is gi-atifying. According to the accounts received there was never any excuse for the stoppage. The mou worcwell puid, reypiviug ji shilling a day above trade union
rates, and: their grievance was against their own union, which would not allow them to work unlimited overtime. Why this grievance should have led them to strike against the building contractors passes comprehension. The circumstances may give colour to the Daily Telegraph" statement that the strike was the work of internationalist trouble-makers. To such agitators any grievance is good enough, if it can.be used to foment trouble..

The British Empire is the product of constructive genius, and it does not appeal to the minds of men who study only how to destroy.
