CRISIS IN BUILDING TRADE. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, June 20. The Nationalist Conference of building employers, decided on a national lockout from July 8 to enforce observance of national agreements.
ARMY OP MEN AFFECTED. THREATS OP BIG STRIKE. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Received 5.5 p.m., June 22. LONDON, June 21. The building trade lockout will involve nearly 700,000 men, and probably mean the stoppage of the bulk of building throughout the country. The decision is all the more startling, because the national agreement, embodying the settlement concluded in May, was formally signed on 16th June. • The employers, in declining to endorse the settlement, and breaking off negotiations, point out that continuous disputes and revolts have been occurring throughout the country. The operatives 'declare that the employers repudiated their own negotiating committee, and hint that if the settlement terms are not observed they may strike, without waiting for the lockout.
