COPENHAGEN, Feb. 18. A general
lockout was declared today throughout
the country. It affects nearly all in
dustries, including the harbor workers
in most of the parts, but not the sea
men. About 150,000 men are involved.
; The trouble began In January when
the employers attempted to make a
twenty per cent cut in the wages, with
longer hours. The unions lack funds

study today to the itcssiblilty of pro

At the same tux.e, sale tax pr o

suggest this kind of u tax as a means
of financing the bonus. There was no
