Show LOCKOUT OF 2000 MEN IN SEATTLE SEATTLE, Wash., March 19. Last night saw a lockout against union labor, when twenty-five members of the Master Builders' axsoclatlon paid off their men. The laborers thrown out of employment number close to 2000, and construction work on sixty buildings is at a standstill. The constant annoyance of petty demands de-mands by union men is given as the cause of the lockout. The union -will probably go half way in a compromise with the master builders, not wishing to see a suspension sus-pension of building operations. |
