Arbitration Laws.
Various countries now have laws pro-
viding for the arbitration Of disputes be-
tween employers and employed. These
laws mostly take shape of merely arrang'
ing for the method Of procedure where
arbitration. has been agreed OH or asked
for. In England compulsory arbitration
laws are pronounced a failure, But in
the. north Of England the great iron and
steel industry established for itself vol
unfairly board Of arbitration and con-
Citation. The board began operations 25
years ago. 1t constitutes q standing
committee to settle grievances. One en-
ployer and one workman from each es-
Establishment are represented therein. The
employees elect their own representative
annually in December. The standing
committee meets usually once a month.
If its members fail to agree concerning
any matter in dispute, referee is called,
whose decision is final. Before he makes
it, however, he must summon witnesses
from the works where the dispute is on
and examine them.
In % years this board Of arbitration
and cancellation has readjusted wages
so times, always to the final satisfaction
of those CONCERNED. In the quarter of a
century since it began operations near
~ 900 disputes have been settled. The
wage revisions were made in more than
half the instances by arranging sliding
scales
France two years ago put into effect
an ar bitration law. tits not compulsory.
It did not began to be executed till Feb.
El6, 1893, bnt by the close Of that year
it's application had been asked for in
100 instances, and 40 per cent Of these
disputes were satisfactorily settled at
once.
Under the French arbitration law the
authorities may intervene to end a labor
dispute when one or both PARTIES to it
ask for such interpolation. The applica-
ton is made to the local Justice Of the
peace. He notifies both parties OF the
request. If they accept arbitration, then
he notifies both to send delegates to
council of Cancellation. This is the first
step, the council Of Cancellation. II the
council Of Cancellation fail to come to
an agreement, the Justice asks them to
appoint d common arbitrator or more
than one. If the arbitrators fail, they
themselves may choose an umpire and
leave the matter to him. This is final.
If the trouble goes so far that strike
has already broken out, the local Justice
may invite the disputants to an arbitra-
.tion party.
