MR. GLUTE’S PLA

Dominion Commissioner Reports on
Labor Troubles

HE FAVORS CONCILIATION

Metal Mines Employ 4500 Men and Repre-
sont $30,000,000 Invested—Appointment of
Conciliation Boards is the Remedy, With
Power to take the Initiative.

The report of R. C. Clute, Esq. ;
the Dominion commssiioner’ ap-
pointed to investigate the labor dis-
pute at the British Columbia mines,
was presented to parliament in type-
written form and makes a bulky
document. One cai well under-
stand the tremendous interest in-
volved, by. looking. at the careful
summary of the extent of the min-
ing industry in Southern British
Columbia which Mr. Clute gives.
He estimates the number of ‘men
who were employed on the 1st of
January last (coal mines excepted)
at 4500, and the amount of capital
actually invested at over $30,000,-
000,

Mr. Clute secured a mass of tes-
timony from miners and. mine-own-
ers, and, with a view to preventing
the actual stoppage of work in fut-
-ure; with the heavy loss it entails to.
both masters and men, he suggests
the passage of a conciliation act by
the federal parliament. Conciliation
boards would be appointed on the
request of either or both parties to
a dispute, and, in addition, Mr.

Clute advises the app ment of a
conciliator, who shall be clothed
with certain powers, among others,
to take evidence under oath, His
first duty would be to bring the par-
ties together, and to ascertain the
nature of the. differences between
. them. He would also have power
to act when he deemed it advisable
immediately on becoming aware of
a dispute, without formal request of
either parties. .
This power is suggested in order
to avoid any delay at the inception
of labor troubles which, unless
prompt action is taken, often lead
to the widening of a breach between
masters and men, and often renders’
future attempts at conciliation diffi-
cult, if not abortive. ° The concilia-
tor, Mr. Clute thinks, should be
given a free hand, and be author-
ized to invite assistance from the
representatives of the opposing par-
ties.
In these suggestions there are
the nucleus of a good measure,
which would prevent such disas-
trous consequences to many an in-
dustry, as. have resulted to the
miners of the Slocan district, to say
nothing of the: mining companies,
during the past few months.
