- Title
ACTION UNDER THE LABOR ARBITRATION ACTS.
- Authors
Cummings, Edward
- Abstract
The article presents information on seven states of the U.S., which are equipped with laws providing some special form of arbitration or mediation for the settlement of industrial disputes. These states are Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Roughly speaking, these acts may be divided into two classes, those creating a permanent board of arbitration appointed by the governor, with jurisdiction over the whole State, as in Massachusetts and New York, and those providing merely for the creation of local boards in each county, usually upon the joint petition to the Court of Common Pleas of a specified number of employers and employees, as in the case of the other States mentioned. It is true that there are also provisions for local boards in Massachusetts and New York; and New York, in particular, has attempted to combine the two methods, by making provision for an appeal from the decision of the local boards to the three arbitrators constituting the State board, but the attempt has altogether failed.
