HYDRO STRIKE CALLED OFF

Toronto, Canada. - The Electrical
Workers Union has voted to call off
the strike against the hdyro-electric
commission, and this municipality con
trolled utility has made a record in that
it is the first to reject an award agreed
to by board of investigation and con-
cilation appointed by the Dominion gov
ernment under the industrial disputes
act
This law is intended to check strikes
and lockouts in public utilities. 1t pro-
vides that a strike or lockout is illegal
before a board, appointed by the gov
ernment, investigates and reports on
the question.
Under this act the electrical workers
asked for the appointment of board to
consider their increased wage demands.
The board made AN award in favor of
the workers, which was rejected by the
commission in charge of this public
utility. To enforce the award of the
governments representatives, the men
struck.
They have now declared the strike off
and have accepted less liberal terms
than those favored by the company's
representative on the concilaton board.
The ending of this strike is bound to
have a far-reaching effect throughout
the entire Dominion as it will undoubt-
edly increase opposition to an act that
has been declared to be the last word
as a strike preventative in public util-
tiles.
The Industrial Banner official news
paper of Toronto trade unionsts has
this to say of the hydro-electric COM
missions policy:
incidentally it may be stated that the
commission has handed out the hardest
blow to the Canadian disputes act that
it has ever received. 1t is well known
that growing number of the labor or
CARNATIONS are openly antagonistic to
the act. which they insist favors the en-
ployers as against the employees. Under
its operation the workers on public
utility can not go on strike until an in
vestigation is held, and it is pointed out
that sometimes that occupies weeks and
enables the employers to prepare for
trouble and secure strike-breakers to de-
feat the efforts of their employees to
secure better conditions The action of
the hydro-electric commission will have
a tendency to strengthen the hands of
the element who are in favor of the re-
peal of the act.

RELIEF URGED BY PROBERS

Washington.-The Committee on In
dustrial Relations, formed by Frank p.
Walsh, in cooperation with trade union
lists and others who recognize abor's
leadership, will hold its first formal
meeting at the headquarters of the COM
mttee in Washington, December II.
Members of the committee are now put
ting the finishing touches to the bills
which Congress will be asked to pass in
order to strike down the abuses ex-
posed by the Commission on Industrial
Relations, with especially reference to
the forces that block labor in its effort
to organize. One of the most important
of these measures is intended to pro-
hibt the importation in interstate COM
merce of strikebreakers, armed guards
and machine guns.
The A. +. of l.. Convention at San
Francisco had this to say of the new
committee
I'VE most heartily indorse the work
of the United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations and welcome the sup-
port and cooperation of the proposed
Committee on Industrial Relations, with
the end in view of furthering legislation,

Des Moines, Iowa.-The State Su-
preme Court, in the longest decision
ever filed in that tribunal, has upheld
the Iowa workmen's compensation and
employers liability act. The Consoli-
dated Coal Company of Colfax had re-
jected the compensation feature of the
act and was only liable under the en-
ployers' liability act An employe sued
the company and was awarded damages
for injuries by the Jasper County Dis
trct Court. The company, in its appeal,
attacked the consttutionality of the law.
1t also held that the lower court had
erred in refusing to permit it to prove
to the jury that 1t was not responsible
for the accident. The supreme Court
upheld the company in this latter con-
tention and remanded the case for re-
trial. "ln all other respects said the
court, the decision below is right and
the vitality of the statute Under con
sideration is hereby affirmed"
