Manitoba's Plan for Preventing Strikes.

Last March the legislature of Mani
toba passed what is known as the in
dustrial conditions act, setting up an
apparatus for the adjustment of labor
controversies Which depends for its
value upon public opinion. Winnipeg
has suffered greatly from strikes; it
is this experience that leads To the
establishment of a tribunal with
Joint council for the investigation of
labor disputes and the presentation
of the facts to the public, the first
organization of the kind on the con.
tinent
The structure OF the machine Is very
simple. Five members aud one cN-
officio Judge constitute the council.
Two represent the employers. two rep
resent labor, one named by the govern
or represents the people. This body
has full powers for investigation; il
may call witnesses and administer
oaths. require the production Of docu
ments and impose penalties on per
sons admdged guilty of contempt. The
council also from time to time is TO in
and report on the cost of
living. as an aid to intelligent public
opinion on the rights and wrongs not
only of demands for increased wages
but of charges of profiteering. The |
council may also investigate IN 4
employment and housing conditions,

GERMANYS CHIEF TROUBLE.
Is Her Decline in Production, Says
Siemens.

Berlin, June 26.-"Germany's great
est trouble at the present time is her
decline in production" said Carl Fred
erich Won Siemens at the annual share
holders meeting of the Siemens &
Halske electric concern to-day. No
where in Germany is the imperative
need for increasing productive labor
sufficiently appraised" he continued.
Far too many people are engaged in
productive work; the number of
officials in state and private enterprises
is excessive. All statistics based on
the mark standard show large m
creases, but that standard is false
one. Expressed in tons, production has
declined largely
Herr Won Siemens said that the re-
cent improvement in the German OK
change, however gratifying in itself
had had the effect Of restricting eX-
ports. In many ranges Of articles man
ufactured by the company. the domes
tie prices had already exceeded the
world market prices. Even countrie,
with a bad exchange like Germany
were already almost completely barred
to them.
There was world divide demand .or
all classes of goods, said Herr Won Sic
mems. but the high cost of production
was killing business, and TO great
extent these high prices were caused
by under production.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-26

as well as any claims that employers
are making unfair profits.
The council has been in existence a
little more than three weeks and has
dealt with at least seven cases with
favorable results. Yet the Mard pos
sesses no power to punish except in the
ease of contempt; it has no power TO
enforce its findings. Its one real weap-
on is publicity. II aims to put the pub
lie in possession of the facts. to sup
port those by abundant documentary
and statistical evidence, and then to
rest from its labors and let public
opinion do the rest. II expects the
weight of public judgment to tip the
