Industrial Arbitration.

Canada's new law for the lnvestiga-
ton Of disputes between employer and
employed seems to be a success in ac-
tual operation, according to an ex.
pert of the bureau Of commerce and
labor who has looked into the work
lngs OF the act. The dominant mo-
tive Of the law Is to prevent strikes
or lockouts that seriously and direct
" affect public welfare. and for this
reason the act applies only to indus
tries known as public utilities, such.
as railways and lighting plants and
coal mines.
The name OF the Canadian law, ''ln-
dustrial disputes investigation act"
suggests Its scope and character, but
In spite Of the things 1t does not do
In the way Of compulsion the actual
operation Of the system seems to be
satisfactory. II does not prohibit
strikes and lockouts. merely provides
for boards Of Cancellation and Inves-
tigation upon the request of one of the
parties to the dispute. Meanwhile the
work must go on just the same or the
party responsible for the cessation In
ours a penalty. The results of every
Investigation are made public and re-
lance is placed upon the power OF
well informed public opinion to pre-
vent or shorten disturbances. Friends
Of this law assert that since 1t came
into existence in March. 1907, dis
putes that would have resulted in
strikes or lockouts have been settled
tout Of court because the parties In
volved were unwilling to face investl-
cation and publicity. Three-fourths
Of the applications for boards under
the law during the first year came
from workmen. Yet the employers
favor the law. some Of them going
further and advocating an amendment
which would make the awards OF the
Investigating boards acting under this
law binding upon both parties.

France took the remark seriously, and

lowing the impulslve emperors words,
one of the German experts, General
Blume, published through the general
stan of the empire some figures as to
the probable cost Of a great European
war in money and In men. General
Blume takes the war between Russia
and japan as a basis and thinks that
a war between Germany and another
European power would cost that coun-
try $l,5O0,000.000 year as long as It
lasted. He assumes that 1t would be
terrific struggle and that Germany
would call to the field upward Of
100000 men.
The cost OF a great war to Germany
through the paralysis of commerce,
General Blume figures, would be great
er than that for war expenditures by
about $1,000, 100000 annually. At least
four great powers would be involved.
he concludes, and so the trade and in
dustry of four leading nations would
be blighted. Ultimately the United
States would be depended upon for
the worlds storehouse, and the world
supremacy of this power must result
Perhaps this is a hint to the powers
not to fight and turn over the com

Whatever the feeling of the masses

Up to about 1869 the Mammoth Cave
Of Kentucky was widely advertised by
its owner. But the owner died that
year and left the cave to thirteen heirs
scattered over the country. The lucky
thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
Of spending the big income which the
cave had been earning for many years
because 1t had been advertised. But
they forgot to keep up the advertising.
Now the cave is visited by compare
lively few persons instead of by many
thousands annually, as in the days
when it was advertised.
But the great cave conveys a lesson
to every business man. If you quit
advertising, your place will be ignored
by the public even more than Mann
moth Cave is ignored. because you are
not even u natural curiosity.

about this, "and we depended on our

that there were to be thirteen or four
