SHIPOWNERS, MERCHANTS, AND STRIKES.

NEW CLAUSES DRAFTED FOR BILLS: OF LADING:

Important new clauses respecting strikci which it is proposed to introduce into all bills of lading have been issued by the International Shipping Fedora- tion. Sumanitized briefly, these clauses confer wide powers on shipowners to act, in the event of strikes, in the interest of! the merchants owning the cargo as well as themselves, and provide that any expenses incurred shall be borne jointly by the owners of the ship and cargo. Hitherto no responsibility has definitely been played on the owners of cargo.

THE NEED FOR EXTENDED POWERS. In a memorandum accompanying the copics of the clauses Mr. Michael Brett, the secretary, states that the Federation. have considered the existing forms of strike clauses in charter parties and bills. of lading," and "are of opinion that extended powers are necessary to secure the execution of such contracts, in view of the extreme character of present day labour movements, which frequently take the form of sympathetic strikes.

The memorandum continues:

A sympathetic strike of labour connected with the loading and discharge of cargoes cannot, as a rule, be ended by any action which either cargo-owner or shipowner alone an take. In such cases no demand is made on the individual employer for an increaso

in wages or an alteration in conditions of

employment. The object sought is the con- trol of trade in furtherance of

by law irresponsible for their actions." The means adopted by these leaders, who frequently not without any effective consulta tion of the meu, are by strikes to involva the community in serious losses and depriva tions, or to threaten it with actual starvation in furtherance of their policy. In the opinion of the Federation a movement thus conducted demands, in the first place, tho co-operation of the whole trading community to defeat it. :
