WORK STOPS.

BIG LOCK-OUT BEGINS. SPREAD TO IRELAND. THE EXTREMISTS ACTIVE. By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyrlgtt. London, March 12.* The engineering lock-out has begun. The employers are allowing other unions which cover the general workers in the engineering trades until the 23rd to take a ballot. If they reject the terms the lock-out notices will immediately apply to them. There is a hopeful feeling that the lock-out will not last long, especially if the general workers accept the terms, which it is considered most probable they will do. Received March 13, 10.30 p.m. London, March 13. The engineers’ lock-out is proceeding quietly. The only development was at Dundee, where the engineers urged the executive to bring out all associated unions. Extremists at Glasgow, Sheffield and the other principal centres are markedly active in endeavoring to enlarge the scope of the dispute, but seemingly with little likelihood of success. The London headquarters of the Communistic Party continues to issue defiant manifestos, urging the workers not to permit a repetition of the miners’ black Friday. The English union officials state the members stand solid on the main issues, but the union funds are seriously depleted owing to the enormous unemployment drain. Mr. J. R. Clynes takes a gloomy view and thinks there is no prospect of an early settlement. He urges Government intervention ana the appointment of a court of inquiry. The amalgamated engineering unions at Belfast unanimously decided to strike in support of the engineers of Britain. Twenty-five shops aM two thousand men will be affected. Times Service.
