Department Of Commerce And Labor Bulletin Of The Bureau Of Labor Volume Xx 1910 PDF Download

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor, Vol. 86: January, 1910 The purpose of this article is to review the operation of the Cana dian Industrial Disputes Act from April, 1908, to August, 1909. An earlier report, published in the Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor for May, 1908, describes the purpose, administration, and results of the law, and sentiment toward it during the first year it was in force, and contains a detailed commentary on its provisions. Since then the act has not been amended, but subsequent experience enables a maturer judgment to be formed of its strong features, as well as of the deficiencies that accompany such experimental legislation, and makes possible a fairer estimate of its usefulness. On the whole it does not seem necessary to revise the conclusions of the previous report, which the following observations will supplement rather than supersede. But the nearness of Canada, the similarity of its indus trial conditions to our own, the fact that this law directly affects trade unions and corporations on both sides the border, and the advocacy of like legislation in the United States make of value to Americans current information upon this subject.
