Winnipeg Labor Strike Seen as Revolution in Disguise
The Winnipeg general strike is portrayed as a Bolshevik revolution by city leaders. They condemn agitators from the Labor Temple and foreign-language press, pledge to uphold British law, and warn of necessary measures to defeat the strike and restore order. R. J. Johns is noted for predicting a coming revolution at the Majestic theatre on January 19.
