IF A STRIKE COMES.
FOOD FOR THE WORKERS. BRITISH EXTREMISTS' PLANS, LONDON, Deo. 21. The Morning Post says: "The extremists who control the Trades Union .Congress evidently are planning ■ somo Napoleonic strike for the spring. Apparently a secret conference of co-operative unions is proposed, as tho outcome of the suggestion made at the Scarborough Congress, that the question of the distribution of foodstuffs to the workers in tho event of a strike bo investigated. "The conspirators' plan is to make tho co-operative movement a sort of Noah's ark, in which the extremists and thoir followers could float securely through a storm designed to submerge the rest of the nation. The question is whether tho millions of workers whom the co-opera-tives will be unable to feed will willingly starve in order to ensuro the strikers' victory."
