OCIETY IS DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY IN
TERESTED IN SECURING INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
The record of strikes in the United States for the
twenty years ending Dec. 31, 1900, as shown by the
exhibit of the United States department of labor at
Pan-American exposition, would seem to indicate that at times,
some drastic measure for the prevention of conflicts might,
hie.
This record is that during the period named there were 22,V93‘
strikes, with a wage loss of $257,663,478, a loss through assistance ’
tendered by labor organisations of $16,174,798 and a loss to em
ployers of $123,731,121.
The lockouts during the same period numbered 1,005, with a
rage loss to employees of $48,819,745, a loss through assistance
•endered by labor organizations of $3,451,461 and a loss to em
ployers of $19,927,988. The total losses by strikes and lockouts
cached the vast sum of $468,968,581.
It is curious to note that in 50.77 per cent of the establishments
which strikes occurred they were successful, in 13.04 per cent
lartially successful and in 36.19 per cent failures.
In 50.79 per cent of the establishments where lockouts were
irdered success attended the efforts of the employers, whilo in 6.28
>er cent they were partially successful, and in 42.93 per cent the
ockouts failed of the object for which they were ordered.
•t W *
IN A LARGE MAJORITY OF ALL THESE STRIKES AND
.OOKOUTS THE FUSLIC AS SUCH PROBABLY EXPERIENCED
.ITTLE OR NO INCONVENIENCE AND THEREFORE WAS NOT
IENSITIVELY INTERESTED IN THEM. BUT IN OTHERS AND
THOSE OF THE GREATEST MAGNITUDE THE LOSS. CANNOT BE
rOMPUTED BY ANY STATISTICAL METHOD.
It is utterly impossible to ascertain the direct
ND INDIRECT L08S TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH GREAT 8TRIKE8
LOCKOUTS WHICH SUSPEND TRAFFIC, RAISE PRICES AND
FECT -ALL TRADE AND COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS.
It is when these great strikes with farreaching influences are
in that the suggestion comes very forcibly from various quarters
it some compulsory method of preventing or settling them prompt-
should be inaugurated. The principles of what is known as com-
ry arbitration have not, however, secured very widespread influ-
tce in the United States and in all other countries largely devoted
tethanical production. They have been adopted in New Zealand,
here the industries are still small and are in their growing period
" inception.
THE IDEA NEVERTHELESS IS RECEIVING INCREAS-
ATTENTION AND EVEN APPROVAL HERE IN THIS
OUNTRY, AND IT IS WORTH WHILE TO INQUIRE
ITS ADOPTION IS DESIRABLE AND, IF SO,
ER WHAT CONDITIONS.
It should be remembered that in the last analysis every effort
f the lawmaking power to adjust industrial difficulties is a practical
edaration on the part of society to employers and employees that
f they are not able to oonduct their affaire in such a way as to
relieve society of annoyance it proposes directly or indirectly and
in some degree to take charge of those affairs. Whenever a board
of arbitration, before which the parties involved can come of their
own volition is established it is in a degree an announcement of the
intention of society to interfere to protect itself from the com
plications arising from strikes and lockouts. HENCE THE,WHOLE
SUBJECT MUST BE VIEWED VERY LARGELY FROM
THE STANDPOINT OF THE PUBLIC’S INTEREST, FOR
IF COMPULSORY ARBITRATION IS EVER JUfeTIFI
ABLE,IT IS ONLY WHEN IT IS ESSENTIAL TO PRE-
TENT INDUSTRIAL WARFARE THAT SOCIETY MAY
NOT SUFFER.
