that the strike would be long-lived.
His reply was that IL was not a ques-
ton of how long the strike would last,
but how soon IL would be over.
However well founded the strike may
have been. however justified the weav-
ers were in leaving their looms. they
had entered upon the strike without
any preparation. Instead OF planning
ahead and arranging for funds; instead
