CHECKS STRIKES.
Successful Operation Of canada's In
dustrial Disputes Law.

Successful Operation Of canada's In
dustrial Disputes Law.
1t Is interesting to note. says the
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. what
has been achieved in Canada III rela-
ton to such disputes through the oper
alton of the recently adopted Industrial
disputes investigation law.
Under this act It is made illegal to
resort to a strike or lockout until the
matter in dispute has been made the
subject of an inquiry before a board
of Cancellation and investigation estab-
lished under specified rules by the min
lister Of labor.
During a period Of two years, ended
in March. 1909, ffty-fye applications
for the appointment of boards were
received and forty-nine boards were
appointed. In these tfty-tive cases
strikes were averted or ended in TWEEN
ty-nine mines, fifteen railroads ana
some other Industries
Only two cases are recorded in whlch
employers and employed were not rec
onciled. and in these reconciliation
was found to be impracticable, and
provision of the law in which a strike
or a lockout is permitted under certain
conditions was allowed to prevail.
This is noteworthy showing, and it
indicates the necessity and the service
ableness of legislative provision for
dealing with labor disputes every
where.

Mr.. Mellen said that organized labor
has never proposed more important
scheme than this. and, while he eX.
pected that there would be IN element
Of charity in making il a success. he
hoped there would be nothing of pater
nalism. The proposition Is too big fol-
private persons and he believed the
government must take it up.
He believed 1t would he we'll to at.
tempt to teach working people that
they can live Just as cheapv on Il
small farm as in the city. the decreased
cost of family expenses being more
than enough to pay the transportation
costs. Then they should be interested
In small farming in addition to their
daily labors, thus at the same time
increasing their independence and i'm
proving their health.

did not expect that a system of eXcur-
sion trains would be established to
carry people into the country. still he
thought that those who scott at this

what other countries have accom-

He referred to the claim often made

but said his organization had sent out
several thousand cards among the poor

would prefer a change.
