 LEEDS. Eng, July 25.-At a con- ference of members of the engineering and allied trades today. with delegates present representing 300.000 workers, it was decided to cease work next Tues day if the embargo is not removed.
 COVENTRY, Eng, July 25.-By noon today 1S,000 of Coventry's 24,000 skilled workers were on strike. Altogether S0000 workers engaged in the manu- facture of munitions are affected.

 The joint committee of engineering and allied unions which urged that work be continued pending a confer epce has been repudiated by the strik- CTS.
 BIRMINGHAM, Eng. July 25.-It was estimated that 100000 munitior workers were out on strike in the Birm ingham district this morning. Work CTS in a few factories decided to re- main at work pending the outcome O negotiations which are proceeding to- day.
 The workmen of the "Blacl1 Coun- try" one of the chief industrial dis tricts of The Midlands. are joining tho strike and the situation is considered more serious.
 LONDON, July 25.-The ministry O munitions announced tonight that i had received a resolution from thu Birmingham joint committee, repeat | ing the previous offer to recommend the immediate resumption of work i the ministry. suspended the embargo for IA days.
 Origin of Strike.
 The strike had it's origin in the de ficiency of skilled labor. This def ciency necessitated the governmen making plans for an even distribution of labor, but some firms. by offerint attractive wages, managed to secure al unfair proportion of skilled workers The government therefore laid an em bargo on three Coventry firms, whicl were told an excess of skilled hand could not be permitted.
 It is said the men misunderstood tn purport of the embrago, which Wa wrongly interpreted as an attempt t oust skilled workers and drive ther into the army by means of low wages Aside from this the men contend tha ;lle embargo is a restriction of thei right to dispose of their labor on tn best terms obtainable.
