THE IRON PRODUCTION OF 1874

Pittsburgh correspondent Of tie Now York
TIMES gives that paper q mournful account Of
tho condition in which tic panic has loft tho
iron trade. lIo omits, however, somo facts
which arc ncceHaary to proper explanation and
understanding Of existing circumstances. He
atatcs that on Aiay l, 1874, thoro wsrs 1o4 fur
naeea In blast in Pennsylvania, aud 100 out OF
blaat. These furnaces, Us well those In blast as
those out of blast, hayo large stocks Of iron
attacked in thoir yards.
In 1871, tue troubles in the English coal mines
began, resulting In tho great advancomens IN the
price OF all kinds OF British iron. This advance
reached at ono time as high as 80 per cont.
While tho prico OF iron IN dreat Britain thus ad-
yancod from dlroot aud ayidont cn,lHo, tho
price Of iron in the Uni!ol States was advanced by
tho makorB simply because the foreign oompo-
tltion was cut oG. During 1874, and up to tho
dato Of tho panic, tho iron. makers Of the United
States bud q harvegt such as had boon previously

WHAT ONE MAN DID.

We published fow days since an account Of
the arbitration courts recently established in
England. to take cognizanco OF disputed ques-
| tions between employers and omploycs, Tho
" Arbitration Act" which organized tlcae courts
10 mainly tho result OF tho labors Of aIr, An
tony Mundolla, n. ?. Some ycars ago, this
gentleman, WHO is himself heavy employer Of
labor, began studying the subject Of strikes. It
took him but short time to convince himsolf Of
their folly aud wastefulness. He tried, theu, to
lind romcdy Tor them. Ho doyisod an Arbitra-
tion Board, elected half md half by n,aators
aud mon. The first one waa organized in hiB
own works. There have been no strikoe thore
snoo. Thep1an has since been generally aloptod
III several Of the English counties. Tho Bonrds
wero at first temporary, chosen from timo to
time to meet particular oxigoncios. There was
trouble in this, however. When diHputo had
once fairly bogun 1t waa difficult to get either
atde to choose fair minded members of tlo
Board. To obriato this, permanent Boards wero
olecled. holding power for six months or O yoag,
Disputes could thus bs referred to arbitration ut
their worry inception, before long wrauglo had
nude both parties to thom unwilling to compro-
misc. Tho lappiest reaults have followed this
plan. Tho Boards haye Of course; no authority
toenforco their deoros8. Reason does TINT, Mastor
and men present their arguments publicly. The
decision, with the facts upon which it rests, ia
givon publicly. No unfair advantage eau be
taion OIL other side. Both feel this, md hence
both, almost without an exception, oheerfully
comply with the judgment. Such facts hayc
now borne fruit In tho law already described, by
which arbitration courts ara to b. instituted
throughout England.
Tho most noticeable feature in this history Ia
tho prominent part played In it by ono man,
Mr. Nundel'a propounded his plan, and met
with no encouragement. Yet he preached bis
gospel, with tongue and pom, by procopt
and practice. A fow short years hayo
passed, and lis solome laa bocoms that of
all England. There Is room for s1uh a work
here. Public attention has boon drawn, of latc.
to tho relations between capital and labor. !
Workingmen are dissatisfied. So ara maators.
Strikes arc frequent. It is good time to try
experiments. II Bome great employers would
but tost arbitration aud corporation, they would
not only advertise aud benefit themselves most
thoroughly, but thoy might gain Ia timo fano
such al Mr. Mundolla enjoys In England to-day.
