Of some mad ghost.
As the din of those three shots
lost weight and volume, a thin shout

outside the house, and Nelly Mar

!ccting more than a million men, and
presenting the gravcsts industrial
crisis in England since the mine
strike I. year ago and the threatened

The result OF a ballot by forty
seven unions OF the engineering trade
regarding acceptance or rejection OF
the employers memorandum reserv-
ing certain managerial rights, showed
The workmen strongly opposed to &C.
ceptancc. The vote was O4,75O tor
rejection and 1888 for acceptance,
but the ballo. represents the view OF
only small proportion Of the work
crs affected.
The employers declared recently
that if the engineers persisted in their
demands for rights which they con
slider managerial. lockout would fol
low. They permitted work to con-
tinuc, however. during the balloting.
Ii the employers threats are car
ricd out the lockout notices will be
posted tomorrow, directed against
both l..lled and 'unskilled labor, and
bringing the engineering and ship
building industries to complete
standstill.
