LONDON. Aug. 2l.-The great strike and lock-
cut In tho engineering trade IL now entering its
peyenth week, and the difficulty Ia more serious
than ever. Each side is daily becoming more
resoluto and more bitter. Tho number Of the
operatives who have achieved their purpose,
owing TO the smaller employers yielding TO their
demands, Ia insignificant compared with the
growing aggregate of the unemployed.
Many OF the workers in the Allied Trades have
already been rendered idle by the strike, and the
conflict Ia rapidly approaching the stage when
tho dependcnt industries will bc at a complete
standstill. The Shipbuilders' Federation Is dis
playing adisrnsition to Join the Employers Fed
GRAFTON. The latter asserts that it, recent and
promised adhesions will shortly render II i'm
pregnable.
Tho strikers profess to have gained q great
number OF non-unionists, and to nave received
promises of important pecunlary assistance
from Germany. the United States and the colo
mics. They also claim that, owing to seccssions
from the Employers Federation in London,
nve-seventbs of the engineers In this city are
now working eight hours per day.
Meanwhile they admit that the strike is cost
ing the Amalgamated Society sl7,oOo weekly,
one half OF which is met by a special levy. Tho
newspapers are beginning to urge the Board of
Trade TO use its powers under the Cancellation
act and declare that there was never n moro
obvious occasion for arbitration.
1t Is said that the Cooperative Wholesale
Society. regarding the Issue Of the strike as
vital to the interests Of trades unionism, is
prepared to advance 10 tho AmalRnmated So
