Housewives get water heated on a Primus stove at the Leopold Street Social Club in Belfast Tuesday as the area went without gas or electricity because of the general strike in Northern Ireland. The two-week old strike achieved a clear victory for militant Protestants when the fledgling government of Northern Ireland announced its resignation Tuesday.
