WHY NOT AKIilTRATIC HKl'OHH STRIKING?
The average industrial dispute in this country, if it reaches
the Htatre Of open warfare, passes lliroujrh three iihases.
l-'irst, there is the period in which hoth sides hurl defiance
and call on heaven and earth to witness that they are com
pletely and everlastingly in the right.
Next conies the time of outright hostilities. The workers
lay down their tools and walk out or they are locked out ly
the bosses; picket lines form at the gates, strikebreakers
come to work with varying mixtures of sheepishness and de
fiance; heads get laid open, tear gas bombs are thrown, win
dows are broken and the usual bloody and tumultuous pro
cedure, costly to everyone involved, is followed.
Then, last of all, comes the settlement. Unless one side
or the other wins a clearcut victory, the general staffs of
the two sides gel together, neutrals are called in. and the
whole dispute is put up to arbitration. In the end the arbit
ration committee hands down its decision, the contending
parties accept it with cheers or with scowls, work is re
sumed again antl one more industrial muss-up is over.
' It makes n rather dreary and discouraging routine. It is
horribly expensive; the owner
loses fat orders, frequently has property damage to pay for;
tha Workers- lose wages, and in many cases get clubbed and
punched as well; the general public suffers inconvenience,
lias to pay for extra inflict; work and in varying ways pluys
liio unhappy role of the innocent bystander.
1 And it all leads one to Wonder why, since the average
dispute winds np in arbitration anyway, can't arbitration
bo resorted to in the first place to save all this trouble? The
answer, probably, is that to bo stubborn and opinionated is
a very ancient human trait which has not, to date, shown
many signs of disappearing.
' Arbitration can hardly bo forced on the contending parties
not without revising our whole political and economic
fi'aiuework more than most of us are prepared to do at this
time. Hut the stern logic of hard facts points directly to
ward it. Unless victory for one side or the other is speedily
gained, it usually comes in the end. Can't owners and work
ers see that everybody concerned would be ahead if it came
right at the beginning?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. tll They used
to call Jack Murphy a speed fiend
heoattse he set a world record in
traveling by motor car from Cleve
land, Ohio, to Chicago in nine days!
The "great dash" took place ba-:k
in 1004. recalls Murphy, who is now
employed on the mechanical staff of
a Memphis newspaper. There were
five men in the cur. which was fur
ther burdened with axes, shovels,
pulleys and enough rojw to tie up a
ship,
"When wo ran into a swamp, we'd
hook up the block and tackle- to a
tree," Murphy relates. "Then four
of us would grab the rope and the
other would hold tho steering wheel
and push." ' '". ' "
Mud wasn't the only bother on the
trip. Sometimes there was deep
n.md.
'There weren't any road maps or
signs," tho pioneer motorist recalls.
"And when we had to drag the car

tnko the carburetor off and clean It.
