Can a trade union be a militant working-class organisation prepared to fight vigorously on behalf of its members. and yet he capable of maintaining peaceable relations with employers in its own tradat To those who think the answers to these questions must be negative, the record of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives may induce a change of opinion. This union was founded in 1874, and its paciño policy was then defined in terms which were not to be mistaken. Firm faith was expressed in the policy of referring disputes to arbitration, and cuf- tivating good faith between e- ployer and worker. Twenty years later in 1894- defnite under- standing was reached with the em ployers regarding methods to be ased in giving effect to the prin- ciple of arbitration. It was agreed that no strikes or lock-outs be eater- ed upon, but when and where grievances existed they should be investigated immediately by repro- sentatives of employers and employ- ed, with a view to adjustment. The aum of £1,000 was placed by each ggside in the bands of trustees to form an indemnity fund. In the event of a strike or lock-out cerarring. and lasting for more than three days, the employers' federation or the workers' union may claim re- covery of part or the whole of the other's deposit by way of damages or fine. Interest on this £2,000 deposit is paid annually to both sides in equal shares, enabling them to pay direct to the other any sum awarded for breach of the agree ment without disturbing the invest mants of the deposit fund. There have been very few occasions when the financial sanctions" thus established have been invoked.
