Just at this Urns. wbsn the trouble
la Sc Loale between the strikers aod
tbe authorities has assumed a very se
rious and threatening aspect. U Is eo
ouursglag to glaco* wrsr tbs pages of
Henry D. Lloyd's now book, so tilled,
“A Couutry Without Strikes.”
Ur. Lloyd bos mads a eloss study of
tbs labor situation lo New Zaalaud.
sad be has oome lo tba conclusion that
the methods adopted lo that ootid try
are so eminently wise, just and satis
factory kbst It would be to our advan
tage to give them a fair trial bare.
Arbitration la not a now thing. It
has been tried In various countries, and
for a long time it boa been authorized
aod favored In many of nor slate*.
New Zealand, however, lias fetidly
leaped fi-rwaid with something better
and more decisive than a timid aod
half-hearted experiment.
Instead of making arbitration a vol
untary matter In labor disputes, the
New Zealand statesman have made It
aompulaarv. The law on lbs subject
Is Imperative. When there Is a differ
ence between employers and their bauds
tbs questions '‘mast” go to the court
of arbitration. There is on alterna
tive. Hither side stay appeal to the
court, bat pending tbe decision tbe em
ployers must not shut tlielr doors.
Their work must go on la tbe regular
eon ran.
Tbs arbitration law sreot Into oper
ation about six years ago eud slnoa
that time there has never been a labor
strike la Hew Zeeland and not a single
Instance of a violent coo a let between
the capitalistic and laboring classes,
Hr. Lloyd write* Ilka an optimist, but
hie facte will command the attention ot
tbe thoughtful.
After all, wbeo are give the subject
our eerloue thought. It will be seen
that compulsory arbitration Is simply
an eatension of the powers already
lines mid by our oonrl*. in tba Inter
asu of ponce order of joslloe why not
try the New Zaalaud plan ham 7
Viewed from any standpoint, the re
salt con Id not be as damaging as those
which are now apprsbsodad lo 8V
