THE British labor has a partial victory
Because of the magnificent solidarity by which it was
secured in the face of the mobilization of the army and navy
against it, and the declarations of the to the
effect that negotiations would until the strike

II will mean for England that the right wing of the
Labor Party and the trade unons-the MacDonaIds and

Meanwhile the leaders of the strike
continue to emphasize its purely eco
nomic character.
The political horizons of the lead
ers Of the great strike are not ade-
quate to the giant development Of
events. An example of this in
adequacy is manifested by the refusal
to accept the help of foreign trade
Unions, as a consequence of the
pressure Of the right wing. This step
is pregnant with grave consequences
in the weakening of the General Trade
Union Councils position toward the
bourgeoisie and in impending the

NEW YORK, May 12-The attempt
Of the officials of the international
Furriers Union to betray the New
York strikers and accept 42-hour
week when the bosses had materially
conceded 40 hours in settlement of
the strike was exposed this after
noon>to the shop chairmen meeting in
Manhattan Lyceum.
"They would not even ask for a
4o-hour week." Ben Gdld reported
"They kept suggesting, in the midst
Of a conference with the manufactur-
ers, that we submit the proposition
Of 42-hour week to a referendum

This action of the International Of

the employers last Saturday after
noon and evening, which was at
tended by representatives of the New
York Joint board at the special re-
quest of President William Green of
the American Federation OF Labor
Rumors were that Green had come to
New York determined to settle the
fur strike at any cost, and Interna-

ming that 1t should be at the cost of
the workers who have been on strike
for the past ~ weeks.
