Sir John Simon of the Liberal Party, who used to be attorney general, declares that the General Strike™ is illegal (it isn’t) and every union leader is liable to damages “to the uttermost farthing of his personal possessions.”
Lucy Baldwin, wife of the prime minister, is dragooning society ladies into, I guess, driving working women around London.
The General Strike™ (Day Four) is settling in to dogged obstinacy and bitterness (the article uses the word “dogged” several times).
The General Strike™: In Glasgow and Edinburgh, street cars operated by “volunteer motormen” are smashed up.
Taxis in London are now also on strike.

The Reichstag rejects, by a narrow vote, a measure to expropriate the estates of the former royal families (the word for such an act is fürstenenteignung) as called for by the referendum in March.
