Voluntary Conciliation in English Labor Disputes
Professor Weeks discusses English methods for settling strikes through voluntary conciliation and arbitration. England relies on employer and worker representatives, joint committees, or district boards to arbitrate wages and differences. The iron and steel trade board, established in 1869, shows how funds, equal representation, and routine committees support decisions, with most wage revisions by agreement or arbitration. Compulsory arbitration failed. voluntary agencies remained the preferred path.

Industrial Congress Debates Sliding Scales and Labor Policy
The Chicago Industrial Congress closes after two days of debate on eliminating strikes. Leaders like M. M. Garland of the AA L W and J. D. Weeks address wage systems, with focus on sliding scales, future contracts, and the balance of price, wage, and employment amid industrial conflicts.
Necessity of a minimum in wage scales and ore costs
The text argues that sliding scale price cuts can raise employer profits while lowering wages, citing Mesaba ore discoveries that lowered steel and iron prices. It notes cheaper ore enables producers to maintain margins, impacting labor wages, and calls for safeguards and collective reasonableness among employers and workers. It mentions a discussion involving Garland and Miss Addams during a congress session.
