BIG LOCK-OUT IN FRAINiCE, (Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, April 26. The Paris correspondent of "The Times" states that, following upon demonstrations against wage _ reductions, including sectional strikes in which the men paraded the workshops singing the " Internationale," the Citrocn management locked out 10,000 workers in various departments, simultaneously announcing that they could resume on April 28 unless fresh disturbances necessitated a. general lockout of 30,000 employees. The company subsequently issued a statement that it would be impossible to continue if Communist workmen wilfully provoked disorders, pointing out that the present wages were not only the company's highest, but higher than the average Parisian rates.
