LONDON, May 18. (AP)—Great
Britain’s nine-day general strike,
called off yesterday, switched to-
day to what labor regarded as a
widespread lockout by ths employ,
ers against union men seeking to
return to work on the old status.
This development came Ml one
of the most dramatic of all those
in the disturbed days since the in-
dustrial upheaval began. What it
amounted to, according to labor
men, was a disposition on the part
of, the employers to smash union
influence as far as possible.
The trades union congress, which
conducted the general strike and
announced Ha termination yester-
day, accepted the gage and to a
fighting statement declared the
trades umons would resist to the
utmost "any attempts to impose
humiliating terms on the workers.”
“Our resisting power to unim-
paired,” it asserted.
. Throughout the country, the un.
long and employers were dead,
loekeethe unions demanding an.
qualtred reinstatement of the strike
ers and the employers doelining to
deal with them except on their own
terms. These in some cases called
for tearing up the union cards and
there woe even a refusal to certain
Instances to re-employ the strikres
at all.
The trade union congress, which
placed the situation in the hands
of the individual unions when it
culled off the general strike, was
In n stale of utmost anxiety as re-
ports arrived from the provinces. It
had to effect relinquished direct
control of the situation. Aa reports
piled in, however, the T. U. C. coun-
ell intimated it might have to re-
sume charge and asked the govern,
ment to define He attitude toward
the employers’ conditions. • - 1
