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

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.

DON'T LET GO
A COMMUNITY without ro-oiicration is like a boatman who has lost his
oar. 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.
