RETURNING STRIKERS FIND COMPLETE LOCKOUT CONDITIONS
EMPWOYERS ARE
FIGHT IS RENEWED WITH GREAT
FURY ALL OVER ENGLAND BY
LABOR UNIONS
LONDON, May 13 (#)— Open
ing the debate in the House of
Commons on the strike situation,
former Premier Ramsay Mac-
Donald said that more men were
out today than yesterday be
cause employers had proposed
terms that would make it impos
sible to continue industry under
peaceful conditions |
Dramatic Development
LONDON, May 13 (#)—Great Brit
ain’s nine-day general strike, called
off yesterday, switched today to whati
labor regardeq as a widespread lock-‘1
out by employers against union men |
seeking to return to work on the old
status. ;
This development came as one of
the most dramatic of all those in thel
disturbed days since the industrial
upheaval began. What it amomlted!
to, said labor men, was a disposition
of employers to smash union influ
ence as far as possible.
The trades union congress, which
conducteq the general strike, and am
nounced its termination, has aceepted
the gage. In fighting, the statement
declared, the trades union would re
sist to the utmost “any attempts to
impose mumiliating terms on the
workers.” The statement said ‘“our
resisting power is unimpaired and we
cannot tolerate the imposition of con
ditions designed to destroy trade un
ionism. Peace without vindietiveness
is impossible unless the attacks are|
ended immediately. The workers will
not surrender their hard earned
gains.”
Lockout Is Claimed
Throughout the country unions and
employers are deadlocked, the unions
demanding unqualified reinstatement
of strikT'.jhihd employers declining to
deal :wi«n‘ the mexcept on their own
terms. These, in some cases, called
for the tearing up of union cards and,
in some instances, refusal to reem
ploy the strikers at all.
The trades union congress, which
placed the situation in the hands of
the individual unions when the strike
was called off, is in a state of utmost
anxiety, and as the reports arrived
from the provinces, the congress coun
cil intimated that it might resume
charge and asked the government to
define its attitude toward employers.
conditions.
Meanwhile Premier 'Baldwin an
nounced that the House of Commons
would depa;«x‘ the situation at six

President of Poland Retires

PILSUDSKI IS REPORTED AS RE
FUSING RESIGNATION OF

WASHINGTON, May 13—(&)—
Pilsudski revolutionary forces have
occupied Warsaw except the presi

President C'fers to Resign ‘
LONDON, May 13—(#)—The last
authentic news of the Polish mili--
tary revolution received here declare
that President Wojciehowski, to pre-‘
serve reace, had offered to relin
quish the presidency in favor ofl
Farshall Pilsudski, leader of the dis-:
satisfied troops.
Pilsudski is said to have refused
after the offer was considered by his
followers including the Leftists or
Radicals. !
The present situation in Warsaw
is not clear. This is thought due to
to interrupted wire communications‘]
was expressed in the lobby of the
house that this was the outcome of
a formal demand from the laborites
after a meeting of the parliamentary
labor party.
Thus the battle which the country
thought settled is continued as a hand
to hand conflict instead of the massad
fighting of the nine ‘days of strike.
The issue is whether organized labor
or the employers shall rule.
