TN many respects the British gem
eral strike was victory for the
working class. The Baldwin govern
ment was forced to retreat from its
autocratic position and to resume ne
gotiations with the unions. The mine

their lockout notices. The subsidy to

program of wage reductions has been
practically knocked on the head. The
ruling class OF Great Britain has been

the workers. The material victory OF
the workers would have been far
greater had it not been that the Nc
Donalds, Thomases, and others 10 the
right wing leaders were able to slough
off half of the victory over the con-
ference table with Baldwin.
But the real victory Of the workers
was in the fact that the general strike
actually took place. At the head of

in spite of the right wing leaders.
The most the latter could do was to
check its militant spirit and to throw
away the best part of the victory at
the settlement conference.
The strike willIhave profound after
effects. Undoubtedly it will lead TO a
great left wing development all over
the world. Even the conservative
American tradedunion movement will
not escape its reFivifying effects. Es-
pecially deep will be it's consequences
in England. Class antagonisms will
be sharpened, and the class conscious
ness OF the workers will increase.
Soon the situation will boil up to a
still greater social outburst. Inside
of the labor movement the fight Of the
left wing againstithe right wing for
leadership OF thes masses will be in
tensifled. Even as graphically as the
Black Friday betrayal in 1921, this
great strike has shown that a militant
struggle by the workers of Great Brit.
ain is impossible so long as such men
as Macdonald and Thomas occupy key
positions in the labor movement. After
this historic struggle the British trade
unions will move still more to the left.
With their Russian brothers, the Brit
ish workers will more and more take
the leadership OF the revolutionary
movement OF the world.

BERLIN, May 10. = The strict CEN
sorship ring around Poland the past
few days has made definite caIcuIa-
ton Of the status Of the political situa-
ton there difficult, but the basis of
the political chaos is certainly Pol
and's economic exhaustion.
While a report from Dantzig re-
ceived here today says that heavy
fighting is going on in the streets OF
Warsaw and that public buildings have
been captured by rebel troops under
Marshal Piisudski, former Polish pres
ident, other reports state that COM
promise has been reached in confer
ence between PiIsudski and President
Wojciechowski.
What is known is that following the
crisis of last week when Premier
Skrzinski, a representative OF big
business, was forced to resign, the
whole political situation has been in
turmoil and troops under the influence
of Marshal Pilsudski have been de-
manding the resignation Of the presl-
dent also.
Whether Pilsudskis intention is to
demand dictatorship under his own
sword or merely to introduce an in
timidating military maneuver into the
political situation cannot yet be de-
, termined.
Conflicting Reports.
While the official government state
ments coming from Warsaw claim
that Pilsudski's forces are small and
that the government has the situation
well in hand with large regular army
force. a Berlin newspaper says it has
knowledge to the effect that Pilsudski
is at the head of large force and is
debating terms to the government.
The present crisis began brewing
last week when the Skrzinski cabinet
was forced to resign Several at
tempts were made, one by Grabski,
another by Marek, a deputy from
Cracow, to form a new cabinet and no
one succeeded until Witos, Pilsudski's
old enemy. and leader of the rich
peasants, gathered together a cabinet
that was. to say the most, unstable.
Economic Breakdown
The basic reason for the instability
of any Polish government is the break
down of the national economy There
are many small parties in Poland,
none Of them with sufficient authority
to run the government. Pilsudski, a
% former member of the socialist party
but now leader of a militarist group,
probably has in mind something ap-
preaching fascist dictatorship if his
troops are successful in overthrowing
the government.
The president represents no out.
standing political group, one OF the
reasons why he was chosen, and it is
doubtful whether or not he will be
able to stand out against Pilsudski
London reports that the president has
already offered his resignation.
