CASE OF "DAILY MAIL"
PRINTERS REFUSE TO PUBLISH,
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, 3rd May.
The "Daily Mail" is not publishing to-day, owing to the printers refusing to permit publication of a leading article calling on ai' law-abiding citizens to hold themselves ready for service to Xi " and country. The "Daily Mail's" tabooed loader was entitled, "For King and Country." The Society of Operative Printers demanded that it should be altered. The editor refused to comply, and the" members of some unions, including the compositors ', process workers', and toJe-
graphists', decided that it was not within their province to discuss the newspaper's policy, and resolved to carry on, but the printers, machine managers, stcreotypers, and packers c .sed work. The article pointed out that the general strike was not an industrial dispute, but a revolutionary movement, intended to inflict suffering on a great mass of innocent persons, and thereby put forcible constraint upon the Government. Such a movement could not be tolerated by a civilised Government.
