AN Anglo-German coal war is
prophesied by the Westminster
Gazette. In fact the war is on now.
While the British capitalists were
burning up money to defeat the miners
the German coal owners were busy
capturing British coal markets. They
intend to keep them This is how
wars are bred The British capitalists
will soon, learn that the luxury of de-
defeating the miners was a costly one.
LAD the workers of other countries
- supported the British miners as
the Soviet workers did, the British
mine strike would have smashed the
coal owners and world labor would be
immensely strengthened. AS It is the
miners suffered defeat and capitalists
all over the world will take the defeat
as a suggestion to cut wages. Already
in the non-union mine fields of the
United States the employers have an
nounced that the finish of the British
strike forces them to reduce wages.
