AX ASTI-STRIKE BOARD.
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

forces Into prompt action hold

has cooled. That such a plan Is to be
