ARBITRATION AND CONCILIATION.
The crisis that is just now baing precipitated over the slaughtering industry, following closely on the heels of the WaiJii incident, shows how utterly ineffective for the settlement of industrial disputes is the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, The time has arrived when the industrial classes as a whole should be made to choose between arbitration and freedom, of contract. The power that is given the workers to cancel registration whenever tliey are dissatisfied with, an award, must be withdrawn, or the Arbitration Act must be wiped out entirely. The present position, ■ which permits one section of th.9 workers to nso the strike weapon in the enforcement of its demands, and 00mnels another section to resort to arbitration, is intolerable. Parliament ran no longer permit the industries to bo Hubiect to such a hot and ook! policy. We must have one thing or .the-other. Tf the Arbitration Court is. to he retained, it n.ust be made effective.
