STRIKERS IN PERU.

A new law has taken effect in Peru.
South America, the. operation Of
which will be watched with consider
able interest. It deals with strikes and
the chief points are ais follows: The
Workn1en Of all industrial esta blfsh-
ments are to elect in january Of each
year. by secret ballot, three delegates
who shall represent the workmen Of
the establishments in placing their de-
mands before the employers.
Should an employer refuse to dis.
cuss the written demands presented
by the workmen's delegates, he may
within "a hours, appoint one or more
arbitrators, who In conjunction with
a similar number to- be appointed by
the workmen, shall settle the con-
troversy. II the arbitrators' decision
is accepted by. both sides. it must be
communicated to the chief of police
and remain in force not less than six
months.
The police authorities shall offci-
ally recognize strikes when such
strikes have been declared consequent
upon the employer failing to appoint
his arbitrators in time, or. when more
than four days have elapsed without
the arbitrators having issued their
decisions.
Strikers may only be declared with
the assent of at least three-quarters
of the number of workers. employed
as ascertained by means Of a secret
ballot. A list Of the names and ad-
dresses of the workers on strike must
be deposited with the police by the
workmen's. delegates, when strikes
have begun they may only continue
by "a fresh vote being taken every
four days and with the assent of an
absolute majority.
IT q majority Of workmen reject the.
proposal for q strike, those willing to
work are to- be protected by the. au-
thorities, who will treat as common
delinquents all who either individually
or collectively attempt to bar the free
course Of commerce or labor. -
Strikers are prohibited from form
ing headquarters and public demon
STATIONS are also forbidden except in
the form prescribed by law. Should
employers decide to close their estab.
lishments in consequence of differ
ences with their workers they are re-
quired to notify their intention to the
chief OF police, stating reasons for and
probable duration of such closure,
giving the list Of the persons thrown.
