CANADA'S STRIKE LAW.
Provisions of the Act and Its Operation
For Six Years.


For Six Years.
We were forced to look conditions In
the face. We did it and evolved an
act to meet those conditions and SINH
lar ones which we felt might arise in
the future, writes w. L. Mackenzie
King in the Worlds Work
The provisions of the act are very sim
pie. Whenever a strike or lockout is
threatened in any one Of these indus
tries the parties, If unable to adjust
their differences amlcably, must refer
them to a board for settlement before
such a strike or lockout can legally
take place. If the men are going to
strike they must serve notice on the
government that unless a board is ap-
pointed Il strike will take place. If
the management proposes a lockout 1t
must serve Il similar notice on the gov
ernment.
When such notice has been served
in compliance with the terms Of the
act the minister of labor calls on each
OF the parties to name n member of
the board These two members have
the opportunity to name q third mem
Der, who shall be the chairman. If
they are unable to agree within a rea-
sonable time the minister of labor
himself appoints chairman. If either
party fails to name q member of the
board the minister of labor appoints
some one to serve on the board as the
representative Of the party defaulting
in making an appointment.
The board has all the powers Of a
court Of record. 1t may compel the
production of documents, it may sub
poena witnesses, it may take evidence
under oath.
After meeting, if a settlement can be
effected, the board simply reports to
the government the settlement Of the
difference. If no settlement is effected
the board publishes a report of the dis
pute. This is given to the press and
public and sent broadcast throughout
the land. 1t sets out the boards opin-
ion of the real trouble and what, in its
opinion, ought to be done to prevent
strike or Il lockout.
There the function OF the govern
ment ends. There is no compulsion
on either party to accept the finding
of the board. There is no restraint on
the parties. Once they have had this
inquiry they may do just as they
please about the strike or lockout
This act has now been on the statute
books for more than six years A com
plete record Of It's operation from the
end of March, 1907, to the end of
March, 1913, shows that during that
time there have been altogether 145
applications for boards.
OF the 145 applications for boards
received during six years strikes were
averted or ended in all cases save
eighteen-that Is to say, in all cases
save, on an average, three in every
year. There have been isolated cases
where men have struck without know
ing that the act was on the books, but
in these cases the differences have
been settled under the law almost i'm
mediately after Its provisions became
known.

ADVOCATE or PEACE.

FORESTRY MEN FIND
MANY new PLANTS
(From the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
Forest Service)

In making a study of grazing lands
on the national forest, 125 entirely
new special of plants have been dis
covered by the governments experts,
and will be named and classified by
the botanists of the department of ag-
riculture.
Their discovery came about through
the collection of some 5000 different
plant specimens, with notes as to
their habits of growth and forage
value. This work is part of a COM
prehensive plan to determine the
grazing value of every acre of nation
al forest land, in which the capacity
of the soil to grow certain forage
crops is to be determined and an ef-
fort made to decide for which class
of stock-sheep, cattle or goats-the
range is best suited.
The men who have made the stud
les have combined the qualities of
practical stockmen and trained bot
anists. They divided the areas into
such small subdivisions that maps
have been prepared which show ex-
actly the kinds of feed which grow on
each acre, and the time Of year it is
ready for grazing. The maps also
show the stocks water supply and in
dicate the kind Of stock best suited
to the area.
The investigation also shows the
examiners many areas covered with
flourishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of character relish
ed by stock; these areas, therefore,
had little or no stock-carrying capac-
ity.
AS result of the study, the forest
service announces that it will be in a
position to perfect its system of graz
ing management to bring about still
better conditions.

CITY CAN'T PERFECT TITLE.
Government Cancels Application Of
Baker to Stone Quarry Prop
erty There.

BAKER, Ore. Aug. 4.-Mayor Pal
mer at the meeting of the city faith
ers reported that the government had
cancelled the application of the city
for title to the stone quarry property
on the Sumpter Valley right of way,
near the water tank. The reason for
the cancellation is the fact that the
municipality could not perfect title
owing to the application having been
made individually by Charles F..
Hyde, then city attorney, who did
the business as city official.
The tract comprises 46 acres of
good quarry, stone from which was
used in the Main street paving. The
city holds the script in the sum Of
S460. and probably can dispose of
il at face value, and an individual pur-
chaser may then perfect the title.
The filing fee of $40 was RENTED by
the government.
