EMPLOYERS' DECISION:

(Reuter's Service.)

LONDON.C

Börtönference of building cm- ployers has decided to declare a national lockout from July 5 to enforce the observance of

national agreements."

LATER.

19

The lockout will involve nearly 700,000 workers and will probably mean a stoppage of the bulk of building throughout the country. The decision is all the more surprising because national agreement embodying a settlement mentioned on May 30 was formally signed on only June 16,

endarse The employers in declining to settlement and breaking off negotiations point out the continuous disputes and revolts throughout the country, particularly strikes.v

The Liverpool building operatives declare that the employers have repudiated their own negotiating committee and hint that, if the settlement terms are not observed, the operatives may strike without awaiting the lockout.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPER COMMENT.

MACDONALD A PALMERSTON,

(Reuter's American" "Service.)

NEW YORK JUNE 201 Commenting on Britain's action in breaking off relations with Mexico, the Times says Mexico was clearly entitled to demand the recall of Mr. Cummins but this ought to have been done without the wag of offensive language. *

The World is startled at the sight of the Pacifist Mr. MacDonald bearing himself in an international dispute very much as Lord Palmerston would have. done.

The New York. World says the MacDonald Government inherited from Lord Curzon a quarrel with the Obregon Administration which through ignorance or obstinacy it has made its own, and in breaking with Mexico it has manifested an un friendly spirit with makes its motives questionable.

EXCITEMENT AT MIDNIGHT.

PARIS, June 20.

There was an uproar, in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday evening and the sitting was twice suspended; firstly, owing to the battle of expletives between the Right and Left factions, and secondly owing to a fight with fists between the Socialists and Communists.

At midnight the. Socialists assaulted a Com- munist deputy who declared the Socialists were. traitors to the working classes because they sup ported the Governinent;

The Communists rushed to the support of their colleague and a melee ensued. The Communist deputy M. Marty, standing on a bench, directed operations, whirling a belt round his head.

The Radicals were aghast but the Right Centre cheered ironically.

[In the Chamber of Deputies treating of the financial question, Premier Herriot declared he was always a defender of budget stability, and that he did not want the introduction of "new expenses without corresponding profits to the Government, but that he would work for the realization of economies. Outlining his programme apart from political issues, M. Herriot announced that he was in full accord with England and Belgium and that France would oblige Germany to respect the guarantees it would give, adding that France was quite pacific, and wanted to solve the payment question and to assure her safety The Chamber of Deputies has passed a vote of confidence, 513 to 234, in the new Premier.]
