Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 19-All Is quiet
on the labor front-relatively and
temporarily. Strikes involve economic
loss and, in critical time Of halt
ing recovery, they may swiftly undo
considerable progress and undermine
returning confidence in the future.
For these reasons, the financial dig
trict expressed relief when the labor
difficulties in the iron and steel in
dustry entered the compromise stage.
But there Is general recognition of
the fact that final settlement Is
merely postponed. Another compro-
mise decides nothing and leaves sec
ton To Of the national industrial re-
covery act just as ambiguous as ever
Under this section. every worker is
guaranteed the right to bargain, In
dividually or on a collective basis,
through the representatives he may
elect.
A showdown in the iron and steel
dispute might have cleared the air
and made for better labor conditions,
in one way or the other AS it is now,
with dissatisfaction rampant in many
industries, labor efficiency is low and
costs of operation, necessarily raised
by N. r. A. provisions, are making in
roads upon profits.
The joint resolution passed last
week, empowering the President to
appoint boards to investigate labor
controversies, and guaranteeing con-
tinuance Of the right to strike. is rob-
bed Of much significance as a peace
making factor by reason Of doubt as
to the power Of such board or
boards to enforce decisions. Complete
Qualification Of the meaning and in
tent Of section Ia would seem to be
the direct route to pacific relations
between capital and labor.
This disputed section undoubtedly

has been the cause Of the great in
crease In labor troubles which began
last July. According to the Labor
Bureau, there were 1878 labor disputes
In 1888, against 808 in 1882, and 8s4
In 1881. The number Of workers in
volved In these disputes was TIA, 1853
in 1888, against less than one third
that number, or 242,826. In 1882, and
279, ,299 in 1881. The number of
"man-days" of employment lost in
1888 was 13,455,7 ,758, against 6,462, ,973
in 1882, and 6,386,18 In 1881. On
the basis Of 300-day working year,
the loss in 1888 was equivalent to a
full years employment for 44,s46
workers.
