A cable dated Copenhagen, Sept 4,
states that the lockout has been ended,
"a satisfactory agreement having been
reached" Nothing is said, however.

is added that the $1,000 men involved in
the lockout will resume work in few

The end of the lockout was announced
very briefly in a cable. and at this writ
ing nothing is known about the nature
of the agreement arrived at. But our
latest information by mail. dated Copen-
hagen. Aug. q. throws new light on the
situation. Many thinking Danes thought
the government ought to have assumed
the role of mediator long ago. and i'm
portant changes were suddenly made in
the cabinet Minister Of Justice Rump
has been succeeded by Prof. Coos, and
Ludwig Bramsen has taken Ahe place of
Bardenfleth as minister of the interior
The latter change is the more significant
of the two. Bramsen is manager of a
great fire insurance company and very
rich. He is a strong man all around and
few men are so familiar as he with the
industrial affairs of Denmark. The ap-
pointment of this man was at once in
terpreted as an attempt by the govern
ment to put an end to the disastrous
lockout. Besides. the contributions to
the support of the idle men and their
families were flowing in so literally that
the cash balance on hand was increas-
ing. This must have been discouragin
to the employers. But still one. more
| feature of the lockout went against them.
On Saturday. Aug. rs, about $4,000 men
were idle on account of the lockout.
About that time attempts were made to
induce 5000 women tailors to withdraw
from the labor unions, but the women
proved to be even more stubborn and
difficult to deal with than the $1,000 men.
All in all. the latest news received
through the mails foreshadow a defeat
for the employers rather than for the
workingmen.
Our statement to the effect that Prof
Coos has been appointed to succeed
Rump as minister of justice was erron-
eous. This position will be temporarily
filled by Premier Horring. Minister of
War Tuxen has also been compelled to
hand in his resignation, and Col schnack
has been appointed in his place. Schnack
