STRIKES
Are Unknown
In New Zealand.

A recent visitor to this country was
Lord Ranfurly. governor of New Zea-
land, who was passing through the
United States en- route to his home in
the antipodes.
While in this country he was partic-
ularly interested i'm the strike of the
coal miners in Pennsylvania and said
that big strike like that could not
happen in New Zealand. Two years
ago the legislature passed the concilia-
tion and arbitration act, and under that
act trade disputes must be brought be-
fore the civil courts. There is first a
Cancellation board. composed of three
well known men-there are several in
different parts of the country--which
tries TO settle the dispute. If ii is una
ble to do so, the question goes before
higher court, called the arbitration
court, composed Of a judge of the su-
preme court and two citizens. one ap-
pointed by the labor unions and one by
the employers.
In New Zealand there is no law COM
pelling only eight hours of labor. but
that is the almost universal rule, except
with reporters, who work Il hours
day. as they do the world over. The
government sees the necessity OF bet
tering the condition of the workers. and
the factory act is OF very strong
character. Only a certain percentage
OF apprentices can be employed.
New Zealand has never attained the
prosperity IL had before 1873, but on the
whole the colony and its trade are i'm
proving. The feeling toward England
is strongly patriotic. Nothing can ever
happen To cause n rupture. There is n
strong desire to federate the Austral-
asian colonies
