BRITISH ENGINEERS. THE LOCK-OUT NOTICES. BALLOT TO BE TAKEN. Uras Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 23. The shipbuilding and engineering trades decided to take a ballot on the terms of the masters’ lock-out notice. They asked the employers to postpone the lock-out pending the result of the ballot. —A. ana N.Z. Cable. GENERAL REDUCTION IN WAGES. COST OF LIVING FALLING. LONDON, March 23. Wages in practically all trades are suffering further automatic reductions through the fall in the cost of living. The civil servants’ reductions will operate from April 1, when the war bonus will be considerably diminished. The shipbuilding engineers’ employees are opposing the proposed reductions; but the employers are adamant. Working men generally urge that, in view of automatic reductions in wages, rents should also be reduced.—A. and N.Z. Cable. ENGINEERING DISPUTE. NEGOTIATIONS COLLAPSE. LONDON, March 24. (Received March 24, at 8.30 p.m.) Labour leaders and employers’ representatives maintained prolonged negotiations yesterday, endeavouring to settle the engineering dispute. It is understood that the negotiations collapsed, and at midnight the position again was critical.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
