PIIKSTON'S BILL. Mi-. Preston (South Brant) moved the second reading of the bill to amend the Act respecting Councils of Conciliation and \rbitration He ai.l his hill had tho approval of the Kxccut i\e of tho Dominion TraiVs nnd Labor Council. Whatever feasibility of compulsory arbitration in New /en land and there was some dispute as to the measure of Its suc- cess there there was no likelihood thut that method of settling indus- trial troubles would become gen- eral. The o' 'uct of his bill waa to provide a speedy means of reaching conciliation ; that tho registrar or the secretary of the Hureau of Labor of the province should be empowered at the request of the Mayor or Reeve of any municipality In which a >triko or lock-out has occured. or at the request of any five of the employees, or of the employer inter- ested, to proceed at once to the scene of the difficulty and offer his MTMC -. He thought this would make the Act more workable. There was an additional clause, which em- powered the registrar to seek to pri-mo'e tho formation of Boards of Conciliation nnd Arbitration be- tween employers and emplo>.-<! throughout the province. That me- thod of settling disputes had long prevailed in Croat llrituiu with, sat- isfactory results The bill was given a second read- ing and went to committee. SF.COND RKAPINC.S.
