Were Saved at Small Expense, EXAMPLE OF COAL STRIKE Ka Barly Stages It Coald -Cave Been Settled oa - T air Terms Proposed by the Department of Zahor. Washington, Dec 16 With a record of making satisfactory adjustments In labor disputes in 23 cases out of a total of 32. Secretary W. B. Wilson of the department of labor, in his an nual report Just made public, points out that his department has been as successful In mediation and concilia tion work as could be expected, "By these adjustments of labor dis putes made with appropriations amounting to only $25,000 for the first 16 months and only $50,000 for the year which does not end until June 30, 1915, the department of labor has doubtless saved lnd .rial losa to the extent of millions of dollars," be says. One of tbe cases where mediation has been unsuccessful is the Colorado coal strike, -In the course of which from 30 to 40 persona have been killed on each side. "The coal strike In Colorado, which has necessitated the use of federal troops," aays the report, "is another conspicuous Instance of industrial warfare In which, however heavily the responsibility ' may rest upon the strikers, it must attach also to the local management of the property in volved and therefore to the responsible owners. In its early stages this strike could have been settled upon fair terms had the proposals of the depart ment of labor for arbitration by an un biased board chosen by mutual agree ment been promptly accepted." Secretary Wilson reviews tbe ef forts that have been, mad to bring about a settlement of the Colorado labor trouble, and gives in full ' the findings of the commission appointed by himself to fix a basis for adjust ment of the disagreements He quotes President Wilson's letter, in which the president urged upon the mine owners and the strikers an acceptance of this basis of settlement, and points out that the miners' convention at Trinidad approved the suggestion on September 16, but "no adjustment has yet been made." , Besides in Colorado, mediation of fers were rejected, in each casa by the employers, in the following In stances: Strike in the Pere Marquette railroad shops. Oalumet copper mine and the Indiana cement workers. Mediation was successful In connec tion with the following labor disputes: New York, New Haven. & Hartford railroad -clerks; Erie Forge company; Reading railroad car workers; Reading Hardware company; Baltimore & Ohio railroad shops; Western Maryland rail road shops; Chicago & Alton railroad shops; Indianapolis street car strike; Indianapolis teamsters strike; Louis villa & Nashville railroad shops; saw mill workers In Washington; long shoremen's wage dispute in Texas; Iak? Erie & Western railroad shops; Michigan Central railroad shops; De troit machinists; Coal & Coke railway company; Westlnghouse Electric com pany; machinists' strike - at Trenton, N. J.; Pere Marquette railroad clerks; Kanawha "coal strike, and the tugboat towing Interests on the great lakes. Secretary Wilson points out that "the welfare of the wage-earners cf the United States cannot be served by mediation of labor disputes alone. Af firmative measures for modifying, if not wholly obviating, the industrial maladjustments that generate these disputes, must be undertaken as well. The secretary suggests that what is needed is timely and widespread in formation concerning labor conditions in every part of the country, and says this work can be performed by coop eration between the department o labor and the postofflce department, the former gathering and preparing necessary information and the latter disseminating It as it now dissemi nates information about the weather, througn bulletins at postoffices. He asks congress for legislation to enable the department to negotiate with railroad companies for transpor tation of wage-earners in order to pro mote their welfare by meeting Indus trial emergencies. He asks for legislation, also, placing an employment agencies and labor ex changes engaged In Interstate business under the supervision of his depart ment.
