RADICALS CAUSE
GENERAL STRIKE
Winnipeg Man Says Major.
ity Of Labor Satisfied
With Conditions.

The general strike at Winnipeg was
caused by a. small, group Of radical
Socialists. similar in character to some
who have been recently agitating in
North Dakota. according to a winni-
peg man who was in the city today.
THE trouble started at the Vulcan
Iron Works. he declared where the
wOrkmen and owners became involved
in a wage controversy. The owners,
however. made concessions which
were acceptable to, probably nine
tenths OF their employees. They re-
fused. however. to recognize the right
of outside unions to interfere in thu
controversy between themselves and
their employees, although willing to
recognize the union formed by the
men in their W shops.
This settlement was unsatisfac-
tory to a small Socialistic group which
Is influential in Winnipeg labor at
fairs. and this element succeeded in
precipitating the strike.
A attempt has apparently been
made by this socialistic element 20
inject the Soviet system into the con-
duct Of the strike. A notable in
stance of this was seen in the license
cards which were displayed in the
few places of business which were
displayed in the few stores permit
ted to remain open. This practice
has now been stopped, however.
II believe hat the worst of the
present strike Is now over"

the cost has been any way from one
thousand to twenty-five hundred dol

a highway not much better than has
been constructed by the individual

Members of the First Methodist
church will hold a banquet at the
church at $50 o'clock this evening
to celebrate the raising of the quota
assigned the church in the centenary
fund drive.
The quota of the church was $751;
100. and there is no doubt that when
reports are received from all of the
committees it will be found hat this
amount has been largely over-sub-
scribed.
1t is expected that at least 800 OF
the members and friends of the
church will be present at the dinner.
Besides the report of the finance
committee there will be brief ad-
dresses by Rev. T. H. Gallagher, pas
tor of the church, and DR.. M. c.. SLUT,
