B.C. General Strike Threat Recalls Winnipeg Chaos WINNIPEG (CP)--The threat of a genera' strike hanging over British Columbia brings bitter memories of 1919 to thou- sands of Winnipeg residents. A general strike here that summer paralyzed normal city life for almost six weeks and finally erupted in riots that cost two lives and score sof injuries. It began as a peaceful work stoppage in sympathy with striking meta! and _ building workers who sought collective bargaining agreements. It boiled over into the arrest of eight strike leaders on charges of seditious conspiracy; the fir- ing of scores of employees, and bloody Saturday when mounted police charged a throng gather-| ing on Main Street for a banned) parade.
