COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Mr H. Braddon read a paper on the compulsory principle in the settlement of industrial disputes. He reviewed the effect of tho principle in New Zealand and Australia, and said that so far as Australia was concerned, the Arbitration Acts had resulted in repressing sweating, and materially benefiting the conditions of employees, but it was unfortunate that the Acts had also tended to embitter relations between employers and employees. As a means of preventing strikes, Wages Boards were greatly preferable to Arbitration Courts, but even a Wages Board was not likely to-- be of nuich use in that direction in periods of declining prosperity, and when awards were adverse to the men.
