Tuesday, df'embetc COMPULSORY ARBITRATION ask my TO PAY FOR HALL 10 HEAR COMPULKOKY arbitration as a cure-all lor raiiroiui and other strikes anil industrial ills .sounds fine, but lias heen thoroughly tried out in Xew Zealand and proved a failure. Twentv years ago a compulsory arbitration law Avas passed in New Zealand. All disputes between employers and emploves were referred to an arbitration eourt, and . . . ... ... ,. t 1 . . . T the eourt aetermined tne right or cpiarrei ana issued an award that both sides were torced to aeeept. The arbitration court was composed of three; members, one selected by the employers' associations, one by the labor unions, one by the government. For a number of years the court seemed a success. I here were no stirkes to speak of, because the decisions were till in favor of the employes. "When in 11)07 a decision was made in favor of the employers in the packing industry, the men refused to accept the award and went on strike. The fatal defect of this eonmulsorv arbitration law, ana of all such laws, is that while the awards can be enforced upon the responsible employers, by means ol lines and penalties, there is no possible way to enforce the law upon the irresponsible workers, who have no property that can be levied tlliOll tor lilies, AVlllie to llllprihOll men lOJ not of tho power within vou vested and working under conditions they will not accept is simply aifor the reasons above set forth, pass revival of shlVel'V. r a"0l'1 lno uttatlieil resolution, T.'. ,'!. ,.,,!, Tel o iwl ,.,,,! uti-il.-,. when llio authorizing the Issuance of a warrant jji iuu I 1 1 17 yii. til. 'viui .i.TJi.iivi .in .j. - men refused to accept the court's award, their household goods wen; le'vied upon, seized and offered for sale. The owners bid them back at 2o cents for each lot and no one dared to bid against them. So the law became a dead let ter and no attempt is made to enforce it. AVhen a strike threatens, the government fries to avert it by conciliation, and when this fails, by arbitration. Jf these fail, the strike occurs, and New Zaeland has in re cent years had some of the worst strikes on record. n the United States, as in New Zealand or any oilier free country, men cannot he made to work against condi tions they reject, else tyranny reigns. The arbitration n wards must be accepted by both sides, and the best way is fo have the arbitration at the beginning of the trouble.

You can't imagine a more iiclnh'ss case. Unable to !j;rt any where, there is no course but to drift villi the ebb and flow of cir cumstance. Once lost, it is hard, indeed, to recover the oar. Hut surely vc don't have to net into this dangerous plight. It's our own fault if ve do. Co operation, like rowing a boat, must be studied and learned. And ve can only learn it through practice. The pr;;cticed.oarsniau never lets go of the oar. And if we would keep from drifting we must practice co-operation. Let's get into practice and keep in prat-lice. Let us pull together in everything that means progress for our home town.
