After some days’ enquiry into the engineering lock-out, Mr. MacKenzie, the president, announced that in view of the obvious reluctance of the parties to summon witnesses, it would be better if they would see if they could not teach an agreement by a renewal of negotiations. The enquiry was adjourned while the masters and men conferred, and finally it was announced that the negotiations had broken down. Mr. MacKegnsie will make a statement tomorrow. The "engineering industrial court lias adjourned sine die. Mr. Browiie, on behalf of the men, condemned the employers’ offer to work individual jobtracts, giving the employers unrestricted: powers over the conditions, on the ground that it was an insidious attempt to sap the foundation of trade unionism. Sir Alien Smith, for the employers, contended that the union executives had made overtime a political issue. He feared the venom and vituperation shown during the hearing had aamagea the cause of conciliation.
