qualified sense throughout the mining industry OF
Great Britain and it has been taken up and accepted
by other industries. There exist in the various
mining counties of Great Britain joint boards of

however, is that maximum and minimum wage

of wages may oscate according to the state of the
industry, wages rising in good times and falling in

like 10 per cent above the guaranteed minimum.

agreements made for indefinite periods subject

United States the number of miners in the United
Kingdom IS still far greater than in any other
Try IN the world In the year 1902 there cOnsd-
erabIy over $4,000 employed in the mines of
the United Kingdom. These are for the most
part well organized. 1t is remarkable how rapidly
the coal miners have developed their organizations
IN recent years. there being about quarter of mill
lion men organized in 1897 and over half million
men, or over quarter Of all the trades unoniss in
the kingdom. organized into miners unions in 1901
It was the miners who, among Others led in the
movement towards Cancellation and arbitration. but
for many years they met with the greatest difficult
ties Before 1870 the condition of the miners was
unspeakaby bad, and during the thirty years from
1872 to 1871 the miners Of Northumberland struggled
continuously for recognition. Il in the latter
year that the Northumberland miners were finally
recognized and the experiment successful
recognition gradually followed in the other min
ing counties of Great Britain, and general agree
nsens were everywhere made with the miners Organi-
cations
In casting about for basis u9on which to form
agreements the unions accepted the principle of the
sliding scale The sliding scale is based upon the
idea that wages must follow prices. and that when
the price Of coal rises. must rise. and when
prices fall, wages fall. Although this sliding
scale was highly praised at first and was joyously

and this is the contention of trades unionists
throughout the world. that wages must regulate
living wage and that no industry or business that
cannot guarantee this living wage has moral or
economic right of existence.

There is always danger that arbitrator will weak
