GERMAN LOCK-OUT.
NEW AWARD NOT BINDING.
(trniTßD PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH- COPYRIGHT.) (Received November 13th, 0.5 p.m.) BERLIN, November 12. The Labour Court at Diusburg decided that the arbitrator's award for the iron and steel workers is not binding. This makes reconciliation more difficult. —Australian Press Association. [The lock-out affects 250,000 metal workers in the Rliineland and Westphalia. The workers, whose standard is admittedly low, demanded an increase of 12 pfennigs in wages, the employers stating that this would be unbearable, making them unable to meet foreign competition. The lockout was declared as the employers' replv to the official arbitrators' award, which the Minister for Labour decided bound both parties. The employers argue that the award places impossible burdens on the industry, and they are therefore justified in resisting the Government's decision.]
