It has heen udjudg ed by Ihe thought and experience of recent years u thing upon which so clty is justified In insisting as In the interest of health, efficiency, content ment and a general Increase of eco nomic vigor. The whole presumption of modern experience would. It seemed to me, be In its favor, wheth er there was arbitration or not. ano the debatable points to settle were those which arose out of the accept ance of the eight-hour day. rather than those which affected Its estab lishment. "1 therefore proposed that the eight-hour day be adopted by the rail way managements and put into prac tice for the present as a substitute for the exUtlng ten-hour basis of pay and service; that I should uppoint, wllh the permission of the congress, a small commission to observe the re sults of the change, carefully study ing not only the figures ol the alter ed operating costs, but also the condi tions of labor under which the men worked and the operation of their existing agreements with the rail roads, with instructions to report the facts as they found them to the con gress at the earliest possible day. but wilhoui recommendation; and that after the facts had been thus disclos ed an adjustment should In some or derly manner be sought of all the matters now left unadjusted between ihe railroad managers and the men. supreme mint Decision Cited.

The court has held that it would not undertake to form u judgment Upon forecasts, but could base Its action only upon actual ex perience; Utul it must be supplied with facts, not with calculations and opinions, however scientifically at tempted. To undertake to arbitrate the nuestlon of the adoption of the eight hour day in the light of results merely estimated and predicted would be to undertake an enterprise of con jecture. No wise man could under time H. or. If he did undertake It. could feel assured of his conclusions.

Be honest, but hate no one; overturn a man's wrongdoing, but do not overturn him unless it must be done in overturning the wrong. Stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong. Abraham Lincoln. This is the spirit that has made Pendleton "The biggest city of its size in the world."

They have thought it best that they should be forced to yield, it they must yield, not by counsel but by the suffering of the country. "While my conferences with them were in progress, and when to all out ward appearances those conferences1 had come to a standstill, the represen. tatlves of the brotherhoods suddenly acted and set the strike for September! Stand for Arbitration Futile. "The railway managers based their: decision to reject my counsel in this matter upon their conviction that tkSJ must at any cost to themselves or to the country stand firm lor the principle of arbitration which the men had rejected. 1 based my counsel up on the indlspuiable fact that there was no means ol obtaining arbitra tion. The law supplied none; ear nest efforts at mediation had failed to Influence the men in the least. To stand firm for the principle ol arbi tration and yet not get arbitration seemed to me futile and something more than futile. becaUBe it involved incalculable distress to the country and conaeuuences in some respects worse than those of war, and that in the midst of peace.

Fifth An amendment of the ex isting federal statue which provides for the mediation, concilation and ar. 1 1 it rat ion of such controversies as the present by adding to it a provision that, in case the methods of arbitra tlon now provided for should fail, a full public Investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be Institut ed and completed before a strike Or lockout may lawfully be attempted. "And, sixth, the lodgment in the hands of the executive of the power, in case of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such roll ing stock of the railways of the coun try as may be required for military use and to operate them for military purposes, with authority to draft In to the military service of the United States such train crews and adminis trative officials as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use. "This last suggestion I make be cause we cannot In any circumstance suffer the nation to be hampered in the essential matter of national de fense. At the present moment cir cumstances render this duty particu larly obvious. Almost the entire mil itary force of the nation is stationed upon the Mexican border to guard the territory against hostile raids. It must be supplied and steadily sup plied with whatever It needs for its maintenance and efficiency. If it should be necessary for purposes ot national defense to transfer any por tion of it upon short notice to some other part of the country, for reasons now unforseen, ample means of trans portation must be available and avail able without delay. Military Power Should Be Ampie "The power conferred in this mat ter should be carefully and explicitly limited to cases of military necessity, but In all such esses it should be clear and ample. "There is one other thing we should do If we are thorough champions ot arbitration. We should make all ar bital awards judgments by record ot a court of law, In order that their In terpretation and enforcement may lie, not with one of the parties to the arbitration, but with an Impartial and authoritative tribunal. "These things I urge upon you. not in haste or merely as a means of meeting a present emergency, but as permanent and necessary addlUon to the laws of the land, suggested, in deed, by circumstances we had hop ed never to see, but Imperative as wel as Just if such emergencies are to be presented in the future. I feel that no extended argument is needed t commend that to your favorable con sideration. They demonstrate them selves.
