The Exeter Times, 1919-8-14, Page 6BRITISH POLICE STRIKE A FAILURE EFFECT ON INDUSTRIA, SITUATI9 Government Decides on Policy of Non -interference -.---Domagk Done at Liverpool Has S' obering Et!eot on Publie. A despatch from. London says: -- The comparative failure of the police' strike is exerciein ;• a salutary influ- ence on the general labor situation.• There is now .evidence that the strike was promoted in conunetbu with the revolutionary element among the: trade unions to create the widespread: disorder and anarchy at veltieh the ex- tremists are aiming If pelice control. were generally withdrawn they looked' to having a free hand. The damage! done in Liverpool has sh;xn the pub Iie what they may expect if revolu tionary forces should get headway,' and this has had a sobering effect. • The. stoppage of work on the South London tube, which is only partial, has been repudiated by the other London tube employes, and the railwaymen's executive committee refused to sanc- tion either that or the engine driver's strike on the South-western Railway. The working class has been the chief sufferers by these strikes, and the workmen feel bitterly towards the instigators of them. J. . Thomas, M. P., secretary of the Railwaymen's Union, condemns the t t _ ihes in they strongest terms. Meantime the strikers are taking to heart the cesti- gation inflicted upon them eby Lord Askwith, who had for years acted as strike conciliator for the Board of Trade, for Lloyd George's personal interference in strike troubles had always resulted in ex: a -sive demands being accepted, thus offering induce- ment to others to strike. The Government apparently -has decided to refrain from interference except where public order is involved. Thus the Yorkshire colliers, who are still out, expecting Government ap- proaches, are being left sevetely alone, and, it is declared, they are feeling pretty mad with their leaders. The Manchester policemen sent by their colleagues to Liverpool to study the police situation, reported that "the Liverpool policemen would do any- thing to get back their jobs." But the Government has declared finally that no police striker atilt be taken back under any cireunta_tances. A.
