Strikes are not modern trouble.
One of the earliest and oldest strikes
on record is that which took place in
Oxford, England, in 1909 when, in
consequence Of peculiarly outrageous
aggression Of town upon gown, mas
tiers and scholars to the number Of
5000 "downed tools" and retired in
high dudgeon to adjacent centers of
learning. The schools were closed, the
city was laid under an interdict, and
the trouble only ended five years later
in the complete humiliation of the
erring burgesses, who were compelled
to do public penance and to accord
large privileges to the university
When the offended clerks finally con-
descended to return, these "blacklegs, !"
who had continued to lecture in def
ance of the will of the majority were
punished by three years suspension.
