PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL COURTS
Have Accomplished Good. Accord

AS long ago as 1906 France created
Industrial courts. and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land. Italy and Belgium, says George
Creel in the Century. "A president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number of workers and EN-
ployers sit as a jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred; the par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense. and in conse-
quence of this simplicity, 80 per cent
of the cases are adjusted without for,
NAL hearings. In event of threatened
strikes or lockouts, the courts have
the power to sit as boards of arbitra'
ton. and II is only in rare cases that
satisfactory agreements are not
reached"

cedure with the American method OF
