ALEX A:NDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

THE PRESIDENT has sent a message to
Congress recommending the creation of an
arbitration commission to decide such labor
cases as may be voluntarily submitted TO
it. He very properly takes the ground
that in many cases labor troubles are occa'
stoned by theheedless exactions ofemployers'
and by the unjust discrimination OF govern
mental legislation in favor of capital. bue
with equal justice he says: 1.-The real inter-
ests of labor are not promoted By resort 10
threats and violent manifestations, and those
who, under the pretexts of an advocacy OF
labor, wantonly attack the rights OF capital
aud for selfish purposes or the love OF dlsor-
der SOW seeds Of violence and discomfort,
should neither be encouraged nor concili'
ated, and that it must be conceded that
the tailoring men are not always careful to
avoid causeless and upjustifab!e disturb
ance."

by setting law or order loving peoale against
