smallpox was epidemic in Ironton. DR..

but one isolated case in the town. Dr..
Powell says every precaution has been
taken, aud that our officers are doing
their full duty, aud that with the

tuted equitably of representatives OF
employers and of the unions
But the unions, it is asserted. have
not kept the agreement. They have
not only ordered strikes when the
general arbitration board had decided
against them, but they have ordered
sympathetic strikes directed against
employers against whom they had no
grievance.
Now the employers, by unanimous
vote, have ordered a general lockout.
on the ground that it is hopeless to
deal with the present leaders of the
unions, and that the ordering of SYM
pathetic strikes in defiance of the
arbitration agreement makes business
impossible. AT the same time, they
declare that they are not in favor
OF the open shop and that they prefer
TO deal with labor unions, if they are
fairly and honestly led.
II is a lamentable struggle, and

The New York Lockout.

The lockout in the New York build
ing trades marks the recrudescence
OF an old strife.
After a protracted and wasteful
struggle. the New York Building
Trades Employers Association reach
ed an agreement with the labor
unions in July of last year which
provided for arbitration upon these
terms:
THE unions as a whole or as a
single union shall not order any
strike against a member Of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association
collectively or individually, nor shall
any number Of union men leave the
works Of a member Of the Building
Trades Employers Association. nor
shall any member of the Building
Trades Employers Association lock
out his employees before the matter
in dispute has been brought before
the general arbitration board and set
tied"
This agreement was hailed as a
solution of all troubles. If it was
faithfully observed, there could be
neither a strike nor a lockout until
the matter in dispute had been
brought. before the general arbitra-
ton board. That board was consti-
