Chicago, November 13.-The Congress on
Arbitration and Cancellation opened in
Willard hall this morning. Among those
present were several prominent labor lead

of the American Federation of Labor, VIM,
H. Sayward. secretary of the National AS

auspices the congress was called together,
presided at the forenoon session. In OPEN
ing the Congress President Gage said that
he beliyed 1t marked important steps in the
movement of the country's industrial and
social progress. He thought questions in
volving millions could be settled by arbitra-
tion without resource to violence. Prof
E. R. L. Gould of John Hopkins Univer-
sity, spoke on 1.-The History of Industrial
Arbitration in England and on the Conti-
nent." A council of experts in France, said
the speaker. had been very successful in
settling the minor Industrial difficulties.
The bureau sat daily and parties concerned
came before it and presented grievances in
person.
There We're one hundred and seventeen of
those councils in France. Four councils in
Paris alone annually dealt with 24,C00
cases, most of which were settled without
trouble. Forty per cent of the difficulties
successfully adjusted during 1898. which
was the first year under the new law. The
English method ofssettling strikes wasssssfrst
discussed. The boards of conciliation and
arbitration are in successful operation sllover
England. Members of these roads are
chosen by ballo and such boards furnished
the best models for imitation. The decision
of the arbitration board is final and binding
on all parties. Voluntary agencies were
the only kinds desired.
Belgium has largely adopted the French
method Of dealing with labor. Cancellation
is always first tried. then arbitration. In
Germany. boards are organized under the
.aw and may be established at the report of
the Imperial government when they are
called Industrial courts. Evidence may De
taken on oath and summons served Two
hundred and seventeen of these courts are
established and have done great good.
In Sweden. disputes must be settled by
police courts. In Denmark by suit at law.
In Switzerland mediation by government
officials prevails. Spain and Portugal settle
labor troubles by Intervention of civil
authorities. In Australia labor leaders are
all important and completely control the
wages. The central council of conciliation
exists in Australia and New Zealand.
