ENGINEERING CRISIS.
A NATIONAL LOCK-OUT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept, 2. Efforts to avert the engineering dispute have failed, and the lock-out begins on Saturday. In view of the number of engineers depending on the electrical workers it is estimated that one million and a-half will be affected if the latter are locked out. It is estimated that a coal strike will render idle 1,500,000 workers in other industries in the first week, 2.169,000 in the second week, and 2,043,000 in the tfiird week.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. [A cable message from London published last week stated that owing to the. electricians in a Midland shop refusing to work with a foreman who was not a member of the Electrical Tiades Union, the Employers' Federation had decided that members of the Union would not be employed after a week's notice.]
