CANADA'S INDUSTRIAL LAW.


II HE government Bureau of Labor through
Il DR.. Victor S. Clark, has been investigating
the Canadian law relating to industrial disputes.
The motive for the Canadian act was to prevent
strikes and ockouts that affect the general well
fare The law provides that there shall be no
cessation OF industry, no strike, until, by the
investigation of an official board, the public is
fully informed of the grounds of the contro-
versy.
The law does not prohibit strikes and lock-
outs after investigation is made but reliance
IS placed upon the compelling power of public
opinion to settle disturbances. The commission
makes a report as to the situation and the public
then judges which side has the right in indus
trial conflicts.
The law provides for boards of conciliation
and investigation Each board consists of three
members one selected by the workers who have
a grievance, another by the employers and the
third by these two members, or if they fail to
agree, by the government
: The industries to which the law applies are
tsS Public Service Corporations and the mines.
Since March, 1907, the boards appointed under
the law have acted in hfty-nine disputes, in
volving 65,5oo employees. Settlement without
a strike was obtained in forty-hve cases, in five
instances legal strikes were begun after the re-
port of the investigating board and there were
illegal strikes in eight cases. These were begun
before or pending an investigation by the
board
alton of the Canadian law and thinks it helps the
cause of industrial peace. Sentiment among the
Canadian workingmen is said to be somewhat
divided as to the merits of the law. 1t seems to
us however, that the law is well worth imitat-
tating There is nothing compulsory about it. The
investigation is made but that does not prevent
a strike if workmen should be so foolish as to
go on a strike in which public opinion as affect
ed by report of the inIAtigating board would
be against them.
Such a law. as that of Canada. if honestly en-
forced, could not help being an advantage Had
there been such a law in Pennsylvania what
saving there would have been both in Philadel-
phia and in Chester where disastrous strikes on
the trolley lines have occurred
The Canadian law is a step towards oompul-
sorry arbitration, but it seems to be better than
compulsory arbitration because it does not in
fringe upon any ones rights II relies for its
potency upon the force of publicity and the
strength OF public opinion.

HIS THE CONSUMER.

~ UR friend, the Ultimate Consumer, who

direction he turns. MIR. Consumer was aroused
some time ago by the high price of meats; he
was going to do great things. Many consumers
signed the pledge to abstain from meat eating in
Wilmington and in other cities. A league was
formed which would shake the Meat Trust to
pieces The end of it all is that MIR. Consumer is
paying higher prices than ever before.
The railroad companies now have their eyes
on the consumer Clamor about paying the men
higher wages, will your they say. Well, YOU will
pay for it. And so the consumer IS getting hit
again. this time by the railroad companies.
1t has been suggested in Chicago that the COM
panies and the great body of freight shippers
might get together and arbtrate. The compan-
les say that they must increase rates because
wages have been advanced but the opponents of
higher rates point out that the net earnings of
the railway companies have been increased so
that they can we'll afford to advance wages.
