THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
(I\r Pr, ss Association. Copyright.) (Received Dee. -0, 9.4") a.m.) London, Dec. 18. The Engineers' Conference has agreed upon a new provisional agreement in respect to the freedom of employers in the management of their works and methods of negotiating disputes. It is substantially identical with the last agrcemeut, though different phraseology is used. Owing to the employers refusing to concede their demands for a reduction of hours to 48, and declining to assent to a conference fixing 52 hours as a week's work, the whole agreement is to be submitted to a ballot of the union. The result of the ballot will be knowe on December 28th. The truce entered into by the Conference, under which the Employers' Federation agreed to support the issue of lock-out notices, and pledged itself to abstain from interfering with the members at work until the sitting of the Conference, has terminated.
