Mr Lloyd George's efforts to settle the engineers' strike are progressing. Received February 23, 4.26 p.m. LONDON, February 22.
It now transpires that the shipbuilding employers decided, owing to the dis f ress arising out of the depression of trade, to continue to etnplov, as circumstances permit, men of trades in which there is no dispute. Hence the lock-out notices to those who had accepted the modified reduction in waces had been withdrawn, but the employers insist upon the shipwrights who are on strike accepting the Clyde rate. The strikers in reply to this state that as this is equivalent to a reduction of 3s per week thty are determined not to resume work.
