The shipyard employees ballotted on the question of tho reduction of Is Gd a week, or the submission of the matter to arbitration, and tho establishment of Conciliation Boards, to which the federated employers still objected. The ballot was two to one in favour of the second alternative.
Tho employers have decided to adhere to their ultimatum, insisting that the shipwrights on strike should accept the rate paid on tho Clyde, and they decided to serve notices of dismissal on the men. The lock-out will affect 80,u00 shipwrights, joiners, drillers wood-cutting machinists, and others in the shipbuilding yards on the northeast and west coasts.
