ARBITRATION AND STRIKES.
NO PALLIATIVE YET KNOWN. AN AUTHORITY'S CONCLUSION. ALWAYS PERSONAL EQUATION. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 0.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 10. Mr. James Wignall, M.P., national organiser of the Dock. Wharf, Riverside And General Workers' I'nion, addressing the National Alliance of Employers, said he found as a result of personal investigation that Australian and New Zenland compulsory arbitration had a great defect—it did not prevent strikes and lockouts, despite any assurances to the contrary. He visited two coal centres and found all hands on strike in one place and r. lock-out at tbe other. The system failed when it encountered big problems such as those of mining and other large industries. Of course it is impossible to put ten thousand men in gaol. Arbitration had good pointß, but nothing yet had been invented to eliminate the danger of strikes and lockouts. —(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
