LIMITED AT PRESENT. PROVINCIAL MASTERS NOT KEEN; FOR LOCK-OUT. Press Association —Electric Teleeraph—Copyright. • LONDON, Sunday. Tho provincial masters in the building trade are not keen for a lock-out.i The Federation Council meets within, ten days to take a ballot, which is necessary before a national lock-out is dor cided.on. A stumbling block to settlement; is the employment of non-unionists, and in a lesser degree the non-recognition of the men's Federation. The masters are convinced that the continuance of "lightning strikes" paralyses trade. The method was for the workmen to appoint a certain day Xpv fho production of a fellow-worker's ticket, and if it was.not produced VL strike was called without notice. Al e £er twenty "lightning strikes" the masters determined to secure a prohibitive guarantee, which was refused. The strikers number 25,000 out of the 150,000 workers involved in the building trades. -Of the former, 14,000 are skilled workers 1\ Tho dispute at present only affects the London Mastefr Builders' Association, with a membership of 300, and does not represent the wh-ole of the building trade.
