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.
