Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).

The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.

Message: I’ve not seen one before, but the style and content would point in the direction of the French occupation of the Rhineland and the Ruhr, during 1923-24. This was a time of passive resistance from the Rhinelanders against the French. This included strikes supported by the Weimar government, which brought the trains (and everything else, apparently) to a halt. I think this is most likely a propaganda label from Germany at that time.
