STRIKES IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Nearly Half the Disputes of 1904
Settled by Ccnciiiatory Methods.

Nearly Half the Disputes of 1904
settIed by CcnciIiatory Methods.
The Westminster Gazette prints the
report of the labor correspondent Of ths
London Board of Trade on the strikes
and lockouts OF 1892 in Great Britain.
The total number were 692. OF these
345 were settled either by mutual on
Citation or by mediation and sixteen
by arbitration. The remainder were
were lost by the workmen. 1t will, Of
course, be remembered, says the In.
d~ianapolis Sentinel, that Cancellation
and mediation are preliminaries To com
pulsory arbitration as proposed by all
intelligent advocates of that system.
Notwithstanding the peaceable and sat
~isfactory settlement of so large a num-
Der of these strikes, tina cost Of the re-
mainder was very heavy. The weekly
loss Of wages is estimated at about
$2,400. 900. Tie loss on use Of capital Is
placed at 500. 900, 900. The cost OF re-
starting works and resisting strikes Is
estimated at 81, 100, 900. The known
amount OF aid voted by other unions
Is 100000, but this Is only a small pro-
portion Of the aid actually furnished.
The cost alone In a very strong argu-
ment against the strike as a remedy,
even If it were a successful remedy, and
the lesson Is having its effect on Eng
lish workingmen, and the conclusion of
the statistician Is therefore hopeful.
He says 'the general balance Of results
was against the workmer. as may ~
ways be anticipated during a period of
declining trade. But there Is, II seems,
q growing opinion, expressed year by
year. both among employers and work
men, in favor Of various forms Of arbi-
tration and Cancellation. That, at
least Is something to be thankful for"
