The Struggle in Great Britain

All over the country similar demon
STATIONS were occurring7 and messages
poured into the executives, demanding
solidarity with the miners
The Trade Union General Council
was overwhelmed by the sweep Of
sentiment, coming up from the rank
and file. A motion calling for a gen.
eral strike to begin Monday night was
put; the general council which OPP
posed it and did not believe in it, was
silent because it. had no program; and
the motion was carried by vote of
3,65O,O00 against 10000.
INTO the hands of the general coun-
4 Gil was placed the carrying out of
the strike, the only definite instruc-
ton given being, on, "a motion by
Bevin, "that in the event of trade
union agreements being placed in
jeopardy, it be definitely agreed that
there will be no general resumption of
work until those agreements are fully
recognized"
Herbert Smith, president of the
miners, declared: "We are not going
to have peace at any price. We have
a clear understanding with the general
council that altho we are handing this
matter over to them, we must function
with them from time to time. Any
negotiation must be joint negotiation,
and any advice from either side must
be considered jointly"
ON Sunday, May 2, negotiations were
~ reopened with the government.
J. H. Thomas, arch-reactionary leader
of the NJ U. r. National Union of
Railwaymen), had taken charge of the
negotiations for the general council,
while the left wing members seemed
to be paralyzed. Heoquickly justified
the deep distrust OF athe miners, by
turning the powers of the general
council to forcing the miners to accept
reduction in wages His part was
described later by Al. Cook, secre-
tary of the miners, lp the following
words:
~ have had experience Of being
bullled in coliery offices; had ex-
perience In 1920 and 1921 in meeting
various prime ministers, but never
have we been bullied by the employ
ers or the government to the extent
that we were bulIied by certain
trade union leaders to accept re-
ductlon In wages" ~

NOMINATED by Thomas and the

recognize the class struggle, even
when forced upon them, failed to pre-
pare. FThey were beguiled up to the
last minute with the idea that another
threat would turn the trick, that the
capitalist government would not fight.
Then May 1 1926 the miners were
locked out. On May 3 the Trades
Union Congress council had an enthu-
siastic general strike on its hands.
The government called it civil war,
threatening severe measures likely to
provoke reprisals, perhaps revolution.
The council, with no definite plan, was
more afraid to advance than turn back.
The general strike was called off I'm

The Cleveland players growled at

Land Here
Brings Big Price

Again Imperial Na.scy land has
proved that it can command a high
price, in a sale report by j. j. Sim
mons. president of the Imperial
Valley Title company.
The land involved includes the
east half of the west half of tract
-, township l3 south, range 1914
east, consisting of so acres which
W. l.. Johnson sold to Walter w.
Goodson and wife of Brawley. The
price paid for the land is $4,000 or
$500 per acre.
Another proof that the land is
desirable is an offer which GoodSon
has received to rent ont the land
for 500 per acre for Il period of
three years.
Simmons, who is firm believer
IN Imperial Valley, states that 5000
per acre is not an uncommon price
for valley land and several sales at
this price and better have been
made in recent months.

Constant Demand
For Rent Houses

There iS Il constant demand for
houses to rent, according to Mrs.
Maria Land, local rcaltor People
come here from all parts of the
tnitcd States to investigate lmpr.
rial Valley opportunities, and many
decide to remain. These people
;,lc not the usual tranSicnts who

Mrs. Land reports that il is al
most impossible to supply home foY
rewomers, many whom are pcrmm-
ctnlv loratcd here in the new firms
and companies which have started
in r. Centre this winter and spring.
This demand for houses by people
who will be permanent residents
tends to indicate that FL Centre 8
population will continue to increase
