Man Who Let Loose Bolshevism on Europe

there was FOR this rumor, but the Swiss
government acted on it and it acted quickly
and thoroughly. 1t sent down troops to
Zurich the avowedly Bolshevist centre. and
the troops were not German nor city men.
but were soldiers from French Switzerland
and were men from the country, an element
therefore opposed to city workers and not
friendly to the German element. which il
the Bolshevist element of Switzerland.
AS protest against the sending of troops
a strike was called in Zurich for November
O. At the same time the Socialists and labor
leaders made representations to the Bundles
rat, or Parliament, demanding the recall of
the troops and other concessions. The
Bundesrat declined to negotiate with the
labor leaders and q general strike was or
dered which lasted three days. November 12,
I3 and Ia, tying up nineteen of the prin-
cpal cities and districts in Switzerland, and
involving more than 100000 workmen At
the end Of three days the strike was called
off. And the population Of Switzerland is
still wondering whether the strike was lost
or was won. If the strike was called to gain
certain concessions, it was lost, for SEEM
lngy the workers have gained no conces-
9ici'o. iAt oH tuS OtHeT mana, the StrlkG was
only manwuvre to test the Bolshevist
strength, then it was won. For it has sue
ceeded in calling out the workers of the
country with remarkable speed and unanim-
ity. Not alone the workers in factories
and shops answered the strike CALL Clerks
in banks and office workers also struck, and
the police openly sympathized with the
strikers. The issue of the high cost Of liv-
ing, the cry Of profiteering and similar slo-
gans were successfully welded by the strike
leaders and made a powerful appeal to all
classes OF men living by wages, "even if the
wages go under the name of salaries.
The upshot OF the strike WAS that the is-
sue OF Bolshevism was taken up by the So
cialist party and the use Of Bolshevsm as
a method TO attain the Socialist common
wealth was Officially" dsclaimed
