the statement that the iron workers dem anded
an increase and the iron masters a decrease in
the rate of wages, would have been the prelude
70 proIacted strike, involving great loss to
employer and employed as well as to the COM
munity at large. But now this statement is fol-
lowed by the information that the whole question
will be dealt with by the board of arbitration

factory. All these iron-workers and iron

the board reassembles to hear the Complaints
and claims of employers and workmen, and
again fixes the rate to be paid for a limited
period of time. A similar system is pursued in
the coal mining regions of Pennsylvania.
