AUSTRALIAN TROUBLE.
*. NOT A LOCK-OUT. CONTENTION BY THE EMPLOYERS, WORKS OPEN TO THE MEN. (Received May 4, 9.35 a.m.) SYDNEY. May 4. Hitherto the trouble over the 44hour week and the Federal award has been confined to the metal trades. Many iron works remain open, but the only persons on duty are the office staffs, foreman and apprentices. The Metal Trades' Employers' Association insists that the only condition on which the resumption of work can take place is the consent of the men to abide by the awards. The association denies the statements made, in Labour circles that the men are locked oul. The establishments are open to all employees who are propared to honour the agreement. It is reiterated that the rjuarrcl is with the union officials more than with the men.
