Capital Facing
Bitter Struggle
By CHARLES NJ MCCAIN

LONDON. April s.-'-Ths APP
preaching strike IL the opening OF a
general decisive war between capital
and labor" Ramsay Macdonald. Ia
Dor leader in parliament. declared
in an interview with the United
Press today.
Macdonald added:
"If the general strike II not avert.
81. British industry will be paralyzed
within a week"
There may be some head break
ing" but II viii not bs the result Of
deliberately planned boishevism.
The workers now thoroly distrust
the government. believing II is an
unwilling tool OF capital.
The miners hate capital now as
never before"
1.-THE general strike n not merely
walkout by miners. railway men
and transport workers. but the
showdown in tho division OF inter
ests between capital and labor gen
orally" Macdonald said.
Capital wants TO force labor 70
accept anything II wants TO offer.
The government is behind the own.
ers-but IL only partly conscious
OF the mischief IL IL doing.
''The miners. determined to have
a living wage. arc forced to fight
against the owners contemplated
reduction. Tho other workers real.
lie their fight is coming. All or
ganized labor realizes this In their
fight and accepts II as such. II the
general strike is not halted, all Brit.
ish industry will be at "A standstill
within a week.
THE present situation IN regarded
as a general war opened by capital
for the subsection Of labor, for
which the owners and the govern.
ment have been preparing for
months. The miners were not pre-
pared.
Capital selected the point OF at.
tack, planned not only 10 overwhelm
the regiment OF miners, but to
smash the entire army Of labor.
British workmen, like soldiers IN the
field awaiting an attack under fire,
are consequently saying II is better
TO fight than await the detailed as.
saults and detailed defeats of small
enemy offensives.
