work on Saturday, making a working
week of Al hours. For linotype opera
tors and in some technical callings
the working week has been fixed at AZ
hours. The closing time of shops Tor
stores) is fixed at p: m. on four days
In each week, 8 p. m. or 10 p. M on
one day, and 1 p. m. on one day. Sun
day is an absolute holiday. Measures
for the protection of the life, health
and general well-being of the worker
and for compensation for injuries ex-
list not unlike those existing in most
of the American states The most
striking difference is as to legislative
regulation of wages and terms of con-
tract.
Regulating Wages and Contracts.
Two systems, based upon somewhat
different principles, have existed in
Australia for the regulation of wages
and general terms contracts and en-
ployment, the wages board and the
industrial arbitration court. In the
more recent legislation in the several
states both systems are embodied.
The arbitration court OF the common
wealth has power to review decisions
in matters of interstate concern. The
wages board is composed of an equal
number of representatives of organi-
cations Of employers and employees,
nominated by themselves, and one of
the state court judges as chairman,
with vote only in case of tie. This
board has power to regulate hours,
wages and conditions of labor and en-
ployment upon petition from the par
ties interested. Such regulations are
set out in the form of agreements
which must be obeyed by all parties,
under penalty for violation of agree
ment.
Compulsory Arbitration.
The chief feature of the arbitration
court system is the provision for COM
pulsory arbitration with or without pc
tition from interested parties. The
arbitration act, framed to encourage
collective bargaining, to facilitate ap-
plications to the court, and to assure
the worker such benefits as may be
| derived from organization, virtually
| creates the industrial union. This
may or may not be trades union,
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1914-05-06

but is an organization necessary for
the administration of the law. Such
organizations, whether of employees or
employers, must subscribe to certain
rules, as to reports, use of funds, num-
Der and character of membership.
Employees and employers may settle
disputes and conditions of labor by
industrial agreements-which are reg
istered and have the force Of awards
made by law. A number of such
agreements have been voluntarily
made. They are enforceable against
the parties and such other organiza-
lions and persons as signify their in
tention to be bound by an agreement.
Failing in agreement, disputes are
settled by reference to the court. In
the commonwealth this consists of a
Judge of the high court. The court,
according to statement by Z. ii.
Knibbs of Melbourne, the common
wealth authority, may (and on the ap-
plication of an original party to the
dispute must) appoint two assessors
at any stage of the dispute. In the
states the president of the tribunal
usually judge of the supreme COURT
is assisted by members chosen by and
appointed to represent the employers
and employees respectively. Cases are
brought before the court either by en-
ployes or employers. The consent OF
a majority of a union voting at a
specially summoned meeting is neces-
sary for the institution of case; the
commonwealth act requires the certifi-
cate of the registrar that it is a
proper case for consideration.
The arbitration court has varied

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing sore about the size of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
so intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more / scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeless and thin. MY
hair was falling so terribly that I had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back The affected parts
were almost solid scab.

for about year and half. Then l
began using the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I used them daily for two
months and I was cured" (Signed)

but for the present-and from the en-

collective bargaining" is the phrase
used to describe the proceedings IN

seek desired wages. Trades unions
came first and following upon trades
unionism, other industrial organlza-
tions and their entrance into politics.
AS a result of the great strikes in the
maritime. strengthening and mining
industries in 1S90-1S92 Labor party
was formed which has been dominant
IN Australia since 1904 except for oc-
casional periods when the Liberal par

held sway. During the last ~ years

been enacted in the several states ana
by the federal parliament.

Our wages are fixed, not by the en-

The Danger Ahead.


"The compulsory arbitration laws
and allied measures have greatly i'm
proved conditions of living in Aus
tralia," said g distinguished labor
minister, "but they are in the first
stages of experiment. If they can be
impartially administered in the inter-
ests of society as whole by disinter-
ested judges, with obligations equally
to be observed by and penalties
equally enforcible against both par
ties, then their success is abundantly
assured But tn. tyranny of labor
may be as dangerous to the new-world
society as was the tyranny of capital
to the society of the old world. Immi-
grafton and capital are imperative if
tho white man is to take and hold Aus
tralia-more money and more men.
And If labor's policy is carried so far
as to brighten away capital and dater
immigration. your Brisbane hair
dresser friend, and his children. Will
have plenty of holiday hours to see
cricket matches and must make a liv-
ing dressing his own hair!"
That utterance of labor minister,
not then candidate for Office, may be
accepted as a fair summing up of con-
ditions created by labor domination in
Australia. 1t is the shadow of the
future that affrights.

OSTEND NOT CAPTURED,
BRITISH ADMIRALTY SAYS

| Germans no possibility of approach
under cover.
For two days every available steam
ship has been used to convey refugees
from Ostend to England. The Belgian
Government had left there for France
when it became apparent that the Ger
mans were aiming at the port. The
British Consul also departed, turning
his duties over to the American Consul.
Before reports of the capture Of Os-
tend reached here, English correspond
ents sent dispatches OF a battle in the
district between the coast and the Bel
gian towns Of Thourout, Dixmude and
Ypres and the French port of Dunkirk.
The Times correspondent at Ostend
designated this fighting in the triangle
formed by Dunkirk, Ypres and Dix
nude, but the Central News corre-
spondent said that the heaviest fght-
ing centred about Thourout His dis
patch follows:
"a heavy engagement is reported
near Thourout. A German column was
ambushed south Of Ghent The Ger
man troops were moved down by ma
chine guns and then a bayonet charge
completed the rout. The Germans left
500 dead.
THE Germans have prepared forti-
fed positions. equipped with heavy
guns from the east OF Louvain and
north Of ViIverde to the southeast Of
Brussels; also from Liege through
Namur and Mons TO VaIenciennes."
This indicates that the Germans have
a double line OF fortihcations guarding
their lines OF communication.
