Offers Bill to Prevent Strikes
The prevention of industrial dis
putes leading to strikes and lockouts,
is aimed at in a bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Howard Teasdale,
Sparta. He proposes to turn the in
dustrial commission into court for
settlement of differences between
labor and employers.
1t would be incumbent upon the in
dustrial commission, should the bill
pass, to promote the voluntary arbi-
tration, mediation and Cancellation of
disputes between employers and en-
ployes. and to avoid the necessity of
resorting to lockouts, boycotts, black
lists, determinations and legal pro-
ceedings in matters of employment"
In pursuance Of this power, the COM
mission would be given authority to
submit questions arising out of indus
trial disputes to a board of arbitra-
ton for settlement, providing both
parties to the dispute agree
Failing in efforts of settlement"
the bill reads, "the industrial commits
sion shall Investigate thoroughly all
matters in dispute and shall determine
the merits of the contentious of the
parties involved" The commission
would then publish the findings.
No strike or lockout could be legal
until 80 days after the industrial COM
mission had been notified. Both en-
ployers and employees organizations
would be liable to punishment for VIC
lation of the proposed statute.
Against one-Man Game Board
w. e. Barber. former conservation
commissioner, who recently resigned
his post, opposed passage of the
Smith bill, reorganizing the conserva-
ton commission, when the bill, which
has passed the assembly, was heard
in the senate committee on state
affairs.
The bill creates a commission head
ed by one man, who receives $4,000 a
year. He employees the technical men
in the department. Under the present
law the commission consists of three
commissioners, each designated to
look after a special branch of conser-
walton work.
Following the hearing, the senate
committee deferred final action on
the measure until others may be
heard. Assemblyman A. E. Smith,
author of the bill, appeared for the
measure
Mr.. Smith declared the strong point
in his bill is the provision by which
a single commissioner will succeed the
three men who direct conservative ac-
tivities. He held that centralized an
thority will prove advantageous to the
service. Mr.. Barber, who recently re-
signed from the commission, to be-
come assistant federal prohibition
enforcement officer in Milwaukee,
took the contrary ground
