CORRESPONDENCE. ' '>1 THE SV.MFA'TTIETIC “ LOCK-OUT.’


To the Kditor of, the Clitheroe Advertiser. Sir,—AVe have heai;d aud read a great _ deal


of denunciation of the “ Syinputhetic Strike” from tho Liberal and Tory Press and platform during tlie last year or' two, but what about tho “ Sympathetic Lock-out?” We .are at th« present*’ time threatened with a general lock, out in tho spinning trade, over a dispute at the Beeliivo Alill, Bolton. Now when w© take into considei’atloii. the recent general lock-out in tho weaving section of the trade, and the consequent heavy drain upon our Unions’ funde, we are driven to -the conclusion that this is a settled policy on tho part of the textile om- ployers. It is quite evident that they arc going to uso that threat upon any and every occasion. In any case, it behoves trade unionists in -the cotton industry to be on the ■ alert, aud be prepared to adopt any and every method and weapon of retaliation. The trade unionists of Clitheroe will, have an excellent opportunity of indulging in the game of locking out. at ihe forthcoming municipal election. If every trade unionist will vote for the four Labour candi­ dates on the first of November next, he, or she, will bo striking a vor\’ effective blow againsi this aggressive, wanton*, and unprovoked policy of the textile employers. It is our bounden duty to lock out both they and their colleague* and associates, not only Trom Town Council#, but also from Parliament and everj’ other TO-- representative institution in the country.
