A GREAT LOCKOUT.
Two Hundred thousand English Boot an
Shoe Operatives Idle.

Two Hundred thousand English Boot and
Shoe Operatives Idle.
LONDON, March IL. The great lock-
out of bootmakers, affecting 100000 op-
eratives, has commenced.
AS previously cabled to the Associated
Press, ewing to complicated dispute
concerning the use of improved ma
chinery and other matters, the MEM
bers of the National Federation of Boot
makers on March 8 notified the opera
tives to stop work. The employers
refused to arbitrate the questions
in dispute, claiming that the operatives
did not accept previous decisions by the
arbitrators. One of the results of this
notice was that on the following day,
the shoe operatives union called out all
the operatives who were not obliged to
give weeks notice and 10000 opera
tues left work that day. The lockout,
it is expected, will eventually affect
about 400, 900 operatives.
Americans Do Better Work.
It has been stated here that it is q
question, not of fair dealing between
capital and labor, but of whether Eng
lish boot and shoe making can be carried
on in the face of American competition.
In this connection it has been stated
by the employers that even if the Amer
lean operatives get twice the wages paid
in England, they can turn out cheaper
shoes, owing to their more Intelligent
use of machinery. The mon locked out
in England are said to have fund Of
$500, 900 with which to see them
through the first month of the lockout.
But it is estimated the trouble will cost
the Leicester district alone at least
81, 900, 900 in wages.

the firemen got to work the iron
braces supporting the roof expanded in
the intense heat, and the frall frame

falling in on the stalled engines. AT
this moment the southwest wall, 18 feet

work at this portion Of the building.
The warning came too late, and ~ Of

buried completely and were dead some
time before their bodies were reached.
Bohlman was taken out in an uncon-

By this time half dozen physicians

The Grand Jury System Abolished in

YANKToN, s. D., March lS.-One OF
the most important measures passed by
the legislature was the abolition OF the

Under the new law all complaints are
drawn by the county attorney, who
may hear both sides Of q case to deter

This practically gives all criminal af-

Refusal of Sailors to Work When on
the High Seas.

sailors to refuse to work when on the

copied from ancient English times
have held undisputed sway over the
men who follow the sea. for unbroken
generations.
