Nh. HoxlE is spinning . rather fine
thread. Under a strict construction he
may hold that the strikers are no longer
employees Of his company, and SO justify
bis refusal to treat with them through
their representatives. But the strikers
are the men whose attitude is giving his
company trouble, and the company has
expressed its willingness to take back
those Of the striksrs who have not deS.
trOyed its property.
The objtc! Of any arbitration is to agree
TO the terms upon which the strikers and
the company shall resume relations.
Upon the understanding that the men
we're to be treated with their leaders Is
sued the order to go to work. Gould and
Iloxie may have sgreed to this with
mental reservation, but among honorable

taken up,
Mr.. Gibson, Of West Virginia, criticized
the bill because he contsnded 1t accom-

passage Of an interstate commerce billI
with a compulsory provision, requiring
the commissioners appointed under II to
take hold OF all controversies between
capital and labor and settle them in the
interest Of the public and In behalf Of the
country, The pending meaAure had been
hastily drawn and should not be forced
though the House, What was the cause
Of the pAnicP Was IL that railroad attor-
neyB were seeking some advantage for
their roads, or that some men were al
tempting to secure popularity among the
masses ? The bill should be reCommitted
for careful consideration and at the proper
time he would make motion TO that end.
In closing the debate, Mr., 0'Neil, Of
Missouri, said that every compulsory law
placed on the statute books OF any Coun-
try had proven q failure. The desired re.
suit could be only secured by CQnClliatlon,
