The chairman of the Dublin United Tramway Company, William Martin Murphy, did not want workers to join a trade union. He dismissed over 300 of them. As a result other workers around Dublin went on strike and other companies stopped workers in unions from working for them. The lockout itself lasted 7 months and left many people out of work and having to leave Ireland.
It still is spoken about today. The centenary of it was in 2013 and it was marked with events. A famous book was written about it in 1969 called Strumpet City. In 1980 a TV series of the same name was made based on the book. Jim Larkin, the leader of the workers, has a statue in his memory in O'Connell Street, Dublin's main street, since 1977.

What are the causes of the Dublin Lockout?
In 1913 Jim Larkin was at the height of his power and he was determined to break the anti-union stance of the Dublin United Tramway Company - DUTC - owned by William Martin Murphy. Ireland's most bitter labour dispute began when Murphy demanded that all DUTC employees forswear membership of the ITGWU or be dismissed. Larkin called the tramway-men in his union out on strike on 26 August 1913. The company responded by locking them out, at which point Larkin orchestrated a wave of 'sympathetic strikes', affecting other parts of Murphy's empire as well as those businesses supporting him. The employer's federation then agreed to support the DUTC by locking out all employees who belonged to Larkin's union and attempting to replace them with strike-breakers. By September the dispute involved 20,000 employees across the city along with their 80,000 dependants. Violent clashes between workers and the police were frequent - especially at picket lines and where blackleg labour was being employed. The worst incident occurred on 31st August; Larkin was addressing a meeting in O'Connell Street, when the Dublin Metropolitan Police - DMP - baton charged the crowd and arrested him. Prolonged rioting ensued during which two people were killed and 200 constables injured as well as numerous civilians. By January 1914 the workers had lost manly because they were mostly unskilled and lacking the resources for a prolonged strike and they had begun to drift back to work on the employers' terms. In October 1914 Jim Larkin, worn out and frustrated, left for the United States. James Connolly ably took over. Because of the dispute, he inherited a new weapon - the Irish Citizen Army founded during November 1913. It had been formed to enable the locked out men to defend themselves in clashes with the police and to combat the demoralising impact of unemployment. Connolly and his Citizen's Army later took part in the Easter Rising of 1916.
