GENERAL STRIKES
(New York Times')
The general strike which began in Terre Haute, Ind..
on a Monday morning collapsed in less time than the similar
strike in San Francisco a year ago. It was prompted by a
dispute between an enameling company and its employees
over the question of union recognition. The development
of this dispute into a general strike involving more than 20.
000 workmen in forty-eight unions was not officially the
• work of the central labor body in Terre Haute. It was au
thorized by the unions at a rump meeting not convened by
the central labor organization. The responsibility for re
sorting to a weapon used only twice before in American la
bor history—at San Francisco in 1934 and at Seattle in 191°
—is clearly theirs.
From the start the strike was effective. It succeeded in
crippling all forms of transportation, closing restaurants and
retail stores and preventing the delivery of such essential
goods as milk and ice. But the very effectiveness of the
strike proved to be its undoing. This was the case at Seat
tle and at San Francisco, and it is bound to be the case when
ever the general strike is used. Public opinion is swiftly
alienated by a course of action which deprives a whole com
munity of the necessities of life, paralyzes its business, de
stroys its revenues and threatens its peace. Government
has no alternative, in such circumstances, except to move to
break the strike in the sense of restoring essential services.
That is why the general strike inevitably fails in the same
measure that it succeeds. There is no alternative to failure
in the long run unless the authors of the strike are prepared
to assume control of local business and local government, to
preserve order and to supply the community with those
things without which it cannot live. That is why the gen
eral strike is properly regarded, by those who understand it,
as an instrument of social revolution rather than as a service
able weapon in an ordinary industrial dispute.
In the present case the general striKe nas been canea
off forty-eight hours after it was proclaimed, but the strike
at the enameling plant continues. Federal conciliators are
attempting to settle it and thereby to remove the cause of a
dispute which violently interrupted a period of gradual im
provement in industrial relations. The threat of a coal
strike still hovers in the background. But when data are
available the record of the last six months will probably
show that the number of hours of employment lost through
strikes has been considerably less than the comparable fig
ure for the corresponding period last year.

The judge was on the verge of re

he withdrew the offer, found her
guilty and released her on bail,
