LABOR CRISIS.
TROUBLE IN BRITAIN. EFFORTS FOR AGREEMENT. HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. v By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 10, 8.20 p.m. London, March 10. The engineering trade crisis has undergone most dramatic developments. Early yestereday morning masters and men made an eleventh hour attempt to avert a catastrophe by calling on Dr. T. J. Macnamara (Minister for Labor), but the attempt failed and in a statement issued the previous night’s deadlock was confirmed and a lock-out on Saturday is inevitable.
The unions decided to issue a manifesto to the nation setting out their case. Other attempts during the day were also abortive. Late last night Mr. Arthur Henderson conferred with Dr. Macnamara and after certain rapid negotiations a deputation of men saw Dr. Macnamara, with the result that a new conference of masters and men will be held to-day. The men’s manifesto has been dropped, and there is some hope that the iock-out will be postponed, if not avert-ed.—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn. [Over a million, men are involved, while the total number concerned is seven million.]
