What aeema on tlie surface to bo a Sten toward a better feeling between employers and employes has boon ta ken by a large clothing firm o Chi cago, which not ao long ago was In volved In a dispute with IU workers that culminated In a strike. The plan whir I to be tried calls for the cre ation :.J a "trade boar!" of eleven mem i-vi J, Ave to represetit the em ploye 4e the employers and one to be ' ! by these ten. All so far as jostf are to be practical men M with the details of the work. This board la to have full Jurisdiction to m'et and adjust all difference rif ts under the existing arbitration agreement, subject to appeal to a per rnt arbitration board of three, one selected by the employers, one by the employes and the third by these two. When changes that affect the wages or working conditions are proposed they first must be submitted to this board for approval or rejection. Be fore a complaint against an employe is made he must be notified of its es sentials so that he may take It up bp fore the board If he wishes. In the event of stoppage of work In any shop or department the board at once shall Investigate. In case the stoppage Is caused by employes they must return to work within nn hour nfter the In quiry has been opened or ho cut off from the benefits of the plan. The proposal. It seems, should rmve a tendency to prevent the hasty action that so often lea.ls to more serious ! disagreements and by setting seml-Ju-jdlelal forces Into prompt action hold id'apntsnts In eher-k until their blood has cooled. That such a plan Is to be , adopted by a large firm proves con i ehislvely that the Industrial unrest of 'the day ti baring Its loglcaf Sequel In I what at least are attempts at funda ; mental remedies. dilates still need his services.
