We do know, however, that March is the Red Month, and the present one bids fair to rival that of 1871. True, we see no Commune on the horizon; but the month starts off very well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Coal Strike in England, and the one threatened here, are inspiring spectacles. For the second time within a year \"effete\" old England has made the world marvel at her virility. Germany with her \"four million Socialist votes\" becomes pathetic in her backwardness in the face of this marvelous exhibition of solidarity on the part of the British workers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lesson of these two strikes cannot fail to impress the workers everywhere with their power. Perhaps it is premature to say that these events prophesy the breakdown of the capitalist system, with its age-long superstitions. It is, however, the greatest strike in history, and the end of the lane seems nearer than it did. We do not, of course, expect the impossible. Still, some of the Tax Reformers—they have them in plenty in England—and the \"Perfect-Gentleman Revolutionists\" may get a headache thinking how much more effect Direct Action is than political action. Revolutionary action is not according to Hoyle, and the capitalist always likes to play the game according to rules, provided he makes the rules. Perhaps in time even the \"intellectuals\" of the Socialist party may see the light. We decline to speculate on the improbable, however.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll hail to the British miners who are blazing the trail so that their more near-sighted brothers may see it. In this connection we have pleasure in submitting the following appeal from Union No. 106, Western Federation of Miners, and would ask all exchanges to reprint the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bisbee, Arizona, Feb. 25, 1912.
