LONDON, March %. -- News
from the United States of sitdown
strikes, inter-union conflicts, clos
ed factories and general labor tur-
MOL falls on British ears with an
unreal sound.
Neither employers nor workers
can quite conceive the kind of
troubles now bcsctting American
industry. Labor relations are in
much more highly developed
stage in Great Britain.
The rights of parties to an in
duStrial dispute are more clearly
drawn in Great Britain. Distinct
lines between legal and illegal
strikes are marked out. Picketing
is rigidly restricted.
Organization of workers is far
more general and far more gen
orally accepted than in the United
States.
Most trade unions are register
cd" voluntarily in a manner that
would amount to incorporation in
the United States. And all must
make public financial reports,
which have proved an effective
check on labor racketccring.
While compulsory arbitration or
mediation is not provided, many
industries have permanent con-
citation boards, which adjust
most disputes before they reach
strike stage. Government indus
trial court machinery is available
to industries having no boards.
The British disposition to COM
promise and reason is continual
help in resolving difficulties.
All this is u result of many years
Of solid work in the field Of labor
relations by both trade unions and
employers. Many questions only
now being approached in the Uni
ted States were solved many years
ago in Britain.
INJUNCTIONS NOT USED
Throughout the last quarter of
the 10th century. and the first
part of the Goth. the rule has be-
come wcll-cstablished in Britain
that strikes are legal, and court
injunctions preventing strikes,
such as arc granted frequently in
the United States, have never
formed part of the British tradi-
ton. " .,
The right of labor to strike was
further settled by parliamentary
act Of 1875 which said, "no COM
bination amongst members of
trade unions to do any act in fur
therance Of trade dispute shall
be indictabie as conspiracy unless

COMBINE STRIKES TO TRADE
IN WHICH DISPUTE ARISES
Industrial Rights Of All Parties in Controversies Clearly
Defined; no Injunctions Granted

such act if committed by one per-
son would be punishable as a
crime. "
Therefore strikes which did not
lead TO breaches of the peace,
riots or attempts to overthrow the
government by force became per-
fcctly legal.
1926 GENERAL. STRIKE
The trades dispute act Of 1906
further confirmed this principle
and gave complete statutory i'm
munity from both civil and crimi-
nal liability so far rs strike action
was concerned.
Then came the famous general
strike Of 1926. This strike, which
brought their responsibilities
sQuarcly before both capital and
labor brought about sweeping
changes in the labor laws here.
For many years there had been
trouble in the coal mining indus
try. The miners insisted on wages
and hours being maintained on
the then existing scale. The own
ers / wanted TO cut wages and
lengthcn hours, saying that other
wise the mines could not be OPP
Grated without prohibitive losses.
The government for some time
sidc-stcppcd the problem by sub
sidi2ing the owners At a cost OF
millions so they could continue to
meet the miners demands. In 1926
the government decided TO stop
the subsidy, and the owners
threatened severe wage cuts.
BALDWIN STRIKES BACK
The miners decided to strike,
and the trades union congress was
ready to support them, the idea
being to force the government to
do something to prevent the tying
up Of the essential industry.
In May, the trades union CON
grcs called out on strike the rail-
way and transport workers, pow
or employees, printing trades and
the iron and steel workers. The
aim was to paraly2c the daily life
Of the country and thus force the
action demanded.
Premier Stanley Baldwin'S Tory
Government accepted what was to
it a challenge to the government
an attempt to force labor's pol
icics on the authorities.
GOVERNMENT NEWSPAPER
The government issued news.
paper, and volunteers organized
by the government carried on a
makcshift service Of transport and
power. Amateurs drove. husscs
and railroad trains, ran power
plants and provided essential food
and supply services.
In 10 days the strike was
broken. But it had it's aftermath
in the trades dispute act Of 1927.
This act declared any strike illegal
if it had any object other than
furtherancc of trade dispute
within the trade or industry in
which the strikers were engaged.
1t also declared illegal any strike
designed to coercc the govern
ment either directly or indirectly
or by inflicting hardship upon the
community. Similar provisions
were made regarding lockouts by
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1937-03-23

compel the government to repeal
certain labor laws or in sympathy
with some other union, that would
be illegal.
All sympathy strikes not involv-
ing directly the working condi-
tions of the strikers would seem
to be illegal. Thus a railway union
could strike TO support another
railway union. but could not
strike to support miners or textile
workers or unionists of other
trades.

NEW LAW NEVER TESTED

Labor complained not only OF
the severity of the law, but also
of it's loosencss of phraseology. To
date, it has never been tested in
the courts.
Apparently it would still be lc-
gal for the miners to strike in Il
dispute over wages, hours or work
ing conditions in the coal indus
try, even though the strike inflicts
genuine hardship on the commun-
ity. But if they should strike to

The water pumping station in food

enough water was in storage to last q

The city, many Of whose 102. 900
residents have been evacuated, was
left with 100000 gallons of water in
storage.

With no indications Of quarter, the

From Lawrenceburg in the south

west, the rd-shattering high waters
forced fiood-weary refugees to flee
northward in the States greatest mi

No one could estimate the damage,
but relief authorities conceded III
would run into millions" At least six
persons had died from exposure, and
there were several unverif1ed reports
of drownings. More than 10000 were
homeless, and hundreds more left the
stricken areas hourly.
Focal point in the turbulent scene
today was this city. More than
one-third Of the near-river sec
ton was under water as the stream
approached the 53-foot stage. Normal
stage is 20 feet and flood stage IS feet.
River forecasters foresaw a crest OF
at least IS feet "late in the week"
Approximately 5000 Evansville
citizens headed northward overnight
as dangers became increasingly ap-
parent. Red Cross officials would not
say whether most Of the residents
would be evacuated, but their prepara-
tions indicated o huge exodus had
been planned.
Business was at standstill. Schools
were closed. Transportation and COM
munication were limited.

that every possible Government aid
was being given. He estimated $50, 900
to 100000 would be homeless by
Wednesday or Thursday.
The Army's role in the relief pro-
gram became greater than ever with
the authorization to send four COM
panies Of Federal troops to Louisville
and one to Frankfort, KY.
Ofi1cers emphasized the troops
would act solely in cooperation with
local authorities in handling relief
work and keeping order.
1t has been II years since Army
units have come to active aid Of State
authorities. From November, 1919, to
March, 1920, troops were on duty in
the Gary, Ind. steel strike riots.
After q telephone request from
Gov. Chandler Of Kentucky to PreSi-

for the Treasury Department to sup
ply quarters at the Federal narcotic
farm at Lexington, KY, for $50 in
