INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES
REPORT OF BRITISH INQUIRY COMMITTEE AGAINST COMPULSORY ARBITRATION (Rec. June 14, 7.30 p.m.) London, Juno 13. Tho futther report of the Whitley Committee is definitely against compulsory arbitration on tho ground that neither employers nor employed desire it. It has not-proved successful as a method of avoiding strikes in war time, and is less likely to be successful during peace. Tho report.also is against a scheme of conciliation which would compnlsoiily suspend a strike or lock-out pending the inquiry. - The Committee advocates the present machinery-for voluntary conciliation and tho setting up of joint industrial councils, but considers that there, should be menus of holding an independent inquiry into the circumstances of a dispute to enable an authoritative pronouncement to be made on its merits. Tiie Connnitteo also advocates tho coit slitution of a standing Arbitration Council, to which disputants might voluntary, refer their disputes. Tho arbitrators might settle less important cases locally. —Aus.-N.Zi Cable Assn.
