cotirse would be very greatly to limit
the usefulness of board,
to allow one plrty to set the board in
motion would be, to a certain extent,
to put compulsion on the other party,
because it must either appear or run
the risk of having an award given in
absence. But this degree of compul-
gion is in the public interest clearly ex-
pedient. No quarrel should be allow-
ed to fester if either party were will
ing to aceept a settlement by the State
tribunal. Industrial quarrels eannot
continue without the risk of their
growing to dangerous dimensions, and
the State has a right in the public in-
terest to eall upon all who are protects
ed by the laws to conform to any pro-
vision the law may establish for setting
quarrels dangerous to the publie peace,

WAGESABROAD.
A persistent inquirer has finally in.
duced an amateur Protection journal
to publish a statement of the wages
paid in various industiies in England,
France, Germany, Italy and Austria.
This is the only fair comparison to
make between countries of the Old
World haviog similar conditions as to
density of population, demand for la-
bor, productiveness, cost of living and
the other fuciors that everyw.aere con-
trol wages. To compare Old World
wages with those of the New World is
to ignore differences which are as obs
vious as they are vital.
From the figures given it appears, as
