ARBITRATION HOARD.
THAT there is one way to .settle
the question of strikes is again
suggested by the present trouble
among coabiniucrs. It has been
rumored if the strike continues as
it did a few years ago nnd all
classes of eople ate denied the
opttortuuity of procuring fuel for
both domestic and manufacturing
purM)ses that the government
should step iu mid, by right of
eminent domain, seize and operate
the plants. Hut that is believed to
be an illegal method,
The one way out is to have a
non-partisan arbitration hoard of
national creation supplemented by
a board of like character in each
state. These men to be ol the

supreme judges are apMiulcd
with terms of ollice ended only bv
death or by reaching the age limit.
With a state boatil .second only
to Mipieme national board all minor
differences could be settled
Mtiickly: because when the boatd

that its findings should be final
and both capital ami labor should
abide by its decision and only 11

IT is far better that the election
went as it did, emphatically one
way, than to have elected a mixed
body of men whose principles were
varied and antagonistic. Where
the opinions of a body of men are
widely diverse any blocked legisla
tion can be placed at the door of
the opiM)siug forces: but iu the
council to be sworn next Monday
evening it does not seem likely that
any strong disscntion shall arise.
ITjkhi tlie incoming administra
tion much will devolve: and while
the council will be somewhat handi
capped by past work, there is hope
that unfinished matters will be
quickly and satisfactorily arranged,
and the good work go 011 with
vigor.
It is to be hoped, also, that every
law on the city st itulc book will be
enforced or rescinded. There are
