Shank recommended that one man be

In the event of projects involving

STRIKE WAS BIC
1926 EVENT IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Industrial Troubles Offset by
Brilliant Achievements
in Diplomacy.

BIZ UHited Press
LONDON, Dec. 31.-Next to the
years of the great war. 1926 will
stand forth in the minds of Eng
lishmen as the most momentous
year of the last decade and possibly
the most momentous of this gener-
alton,
Looming head and shoulders over
all other events in retrospect stands
the general strike in May, followed
by the prolonged coal stoppage. two
terrific jolts to recuperating post
war British industry, that are joint
ly estimated to have cost Britain up
wards of two and a half billions in
lost trade and lost wages.
Not only did business suffer under
these blows, but the labor move
ment itself emerged staggering and
weakened by the struggle. The
giant trades unions " the country
with n total membership of nearly
100000 workers. ended the year
with deficits running into millions
Of dollars. Many OF the bitterly
fought-for union privileges which
had taken years to win, were wiped
out with a stroke Of the pen when
the general strike collapsed and the
union leaders signed the terms I'M
der which their followers returned
to work.
Some Bright Events
The year, however. was not Who'll
ly n black one for England. Brilliant
diplomatic Victories In the field of
international politics, and the sue
cess OF the Empire Conference in
setting up machinery for the furth-
erance OF nter-Empire trade bright
en- the prospects OF European peace,
and hold forth promise of a greatly
increased volume OF British manu-
featured goods finding their way to
Englands dominio;-s, colonies and
protectorates in the next few years.
The outstanding events of the
year may be summarized as follows:
The general strike was called at
midnight, May 3. in support of the
Miners Federation, whose agree
ments with the mine owners had ex-
pired on April so. at midnight. and
whose members had been instructed
not to return to work until new
agreements had been negotiated. All
England awoke the morning of May
3 to find the transport of'the coun-
try absolutely paralyzed. Tens of
thousands of voorhees, persons
swarmed the streets of the larger
cities, and minor rioting rapidly de-
veloped in many places. Except for
the sale OF food, all business came
Immediately to a standstill.
The government promptly declared
a state of national emergency, and
called for 100000 volunteers for the
civil constabulary. 1t also called
for great numbers of volunteers to
drive trucks and maintain the rail
transport services of tbs country
so as to keep the avenues of food
supplies open. The unions agreed
not to interfere with the transport
Of food and medical supplies and
agreed also not to call out the
electric light, power and gas work
