The report of the board stated
that the act did not apply in
this case, the mines having
closed down for lack of orders
before the investigation oc-
curred. A wage scale was,
however,recommended. The
report was accompanied by
a minority report, making
other recommendations.

Dec. 8 The report in this case appears,
as represented to the depart-
ment, to have been mislaid
by one of the members of the
board and an unusual delay
occurred thereon in its pre-
sentation. The board dis-
agreed in its findings, but no
cessation of work was re-
ported.
The report found against the
claims of the men, and was
accompanied by a minority
report, finding generally, but
not wholly, in favor of the
400 Concerning and hours.

The board, after exhaustive inquiry into mining conditions in British Columbia, presented a unanimous report, the recommendations of which were of general application to the metal-mining industry in the Province of British Columbia. A settlement based on the recommendations was effected between the company and its employees, and a strike thereby averted. The inquiry, moreover, had the effect of influencing the settlement of other differences in the industry in other parts of the Province.
A unanimous report was pre-
sented by the board, making
recommendations for the set-
tlement of the dispute. The
findings of the board were not
formally accepted by the par-
ties, but the investigation by
the board is believed to have
been beneficial to the camp as
a whole and no cessation of
work was reported.
Unanimous report was pre-
sented by the hoard, making
recommendations for the set-
tlement of the dispute. The
findings of the board were
accepted by the men, but not
by the company. No cessa-
tion of work was, however
reported.

On May 15, Mr. F. A. Acland,
the then secretary of the
department, went to Mon-
treal to explain the provi-
sions of the act to the
parties to the dispute. As
the result of Mr. Acland's
intervention the employees
returned to work and
agreed to refer the dispute
under the industrial dis-
putesinvestigation act, and
a formal application was
made by the employees for
the establishment of a
board. A unanimous re-
portwas made by the mem-
bers of the board and an
agreement recommend-
edcovering conditions of
employment for the sea-
sons of 1907 and 1908. The
union did not formally ac-
cept the recommendations
of the board, but the mem-
bers, with the exception of
a few, signed individual
agreements with the em-
ployers, based upon the
recommendations of the
board, and a further cessa-
tion of work was thereby
averted.
