Received Nov. 3, 11.55 p.m.
London, Nov. 1. The Daily Express states that the Government yesterday submitted a Bill, making strikes and lock-outs illegal, to the executive of the soiceties of engineers, the National Federation of Uenentl Workers and other unions.
The Bill extends the payment of all War bonuses to the end of September and sets up industrial courts, the awards of which will be legally enforced. Officials and executives of trades unions or employers associations are amenable to law in case of strikes or Jock-outs, and a financial penalty is leviable upon the funds of trades unions and associations if founrl guilty. The trades union leaders strongly opposed the Bill and intimated that, if it passed, the trades unions would refuse to be parties to the industrial court machinery.
Nevertheless it is necessary for the Government to do something as the Bill securing payment of war bonuses ends jn three weeks.
