If organized labor is aggrieved, it is not the
and to order thousands of men out on a strike
The great majority of workingmen cannot
afford to be idle, and have 40 wish to be idle.
Those in authority over them in their organ
ization should deliberate before taking action
that may cause widespread distress, in the
grip of which many peaceable man might
be persuaded to do that which would cause
him deep regret and shame. In moving for a
redress of wrongs the working man should ex-
haust every effort to secure peaceable So
luton without the necessity Of quitting work
and losing pay. The laborer is in position to
take care Of himself, and there is no need Of
rushing to conclusions with autocratic incon-
Thence. His interests and those Of his fell
lows suggest that wisdom and deliberation
prevail. The satisfaction of making their
power felt is not sufficient compensation for
temporary loss Of employment, if the same
end can be obtained by arbitration. The same
rule, modified to fit the case, applies to en-
ployers, companies and corporations. In this
dawn Of the day of arbitration they
can not afford to play the autocrat
or to put on lofty airs. Even though
they may feel that their employees
demands are unjust, arbitration is the thing
By this the merits of the dispute may be de-
veloped, and the wrong exposed, SO that it
may be placed where it belongs. The en-
ployer must confess that he is not faultless in
his judgment; nor is he likely to anticipate
the rights of those he employs. AS rule,
the latter must ask for what they DESIRE and
must suggest and demand their dues as con-
ditions change. The individual employer is
likely to be swayed by his selfshneas while
the workingman's organization is likely, at
times, to be led into unjust demands
and hasty action by inconsiderate
men among them. In all questions
between the two it should be borne in mind
that, as rule with but few exceptions strikes
are unnecessary. If there is any reason for
the belief that dissatisfied employees are in
the right conference should be granted, and
the matter canvassed in all its bearings
With men as intelligent as American working
men are, it certainly cannot be that they will
persist in the impossible. No corporation can
afford to arbitrarily refuse to confer with it's
employees. Public sentiment will not sustain
such intolerant action. This is the day of
arbitration, and It has come to stay. But good
faith and honorable conduct on both sides are
essential to the success Of arbitration, and to
the satisfactory and profitable conduct of any
enterprise.

BLACKS CHARGES.

A Complete Failure to Substantiate His Ac-
cusations in Any Particular.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March I9.--An examination Of
the documents left last night by Commissioners
of Pensions Black with the Senate committee
Investigating the charges preferred by him
against Colonel Dudleys administration of the
Pension Office. fails to disclose any evidence
whatever that there were determinations made
against pension claimants on account of politics,
or any favor shown any claimant on account Of
politics or personal friendship So General
Black has made a complete failure thus far 70
prove any of his charges although hs has had
two months in which to prepare himself and
has three times been before the COMMITTEES The
attempt, last night to draw the case Of Gent.
W. Bennett. of Richmond, Ind, into the list Of
irregular cases is ridiculous. The facts. as Gen.
Black testified, show that General BENEFITS APP
plication had been in the Pension Office over
fifteen months before the first call was made for
testimony, and 1t was eighteensmonths before It
was disposed Of This would show that there
could have been no undue haste whatever in al
lowing the pension. Then. the charge that the
allowance was made nine days before the case
was finally certified by the medical referee
amounts to nothing This is done in scores of
cases every month. Sometimes the work of the
medical referees gets thirty or forty days behind
the board of review. and thousands of cases
have been finally certified by the medical ref
erees month after the allowance has been
made by the board of review. In all
these cases the medical proof was
of ~ IN nf nax
Bennett Then, Colonel Dudley did not exam
inc or pass upon General Benefits case He
simply decided that it should be taken up and
disposed of in the regular way, which was done,
as thousands of other cases were disposed of at
his direction. Colonel Dudley, 1t is not known,
even signed the certifcats The letter General
Bennett directed to Dudley was private one,
but, in pursuance to the latter's open and frank
custom, it was placed on the public files, as were
all letters, public or private, relating to PEN
sions. 1t is not to be supposed by sane man
that one of the experience of Colonel Dudley
would have placed upon public and permanent
files letter which in any degree bore fac marks
of an irregular official act. The proofs of Gen.
BENEFITS disabilities are conclusive; there can
be no question about that General Black has
taken no steps to right the wrong If General
Bennett is not entitled to pension. and he has
had year in which to do so. General Black, as
indicated, has made most miserable failure in
this investigation, and the committee is fully
cognizant of it. To-day Colonel Dudley asked
if he would be permitted to answer General
Black, to which the reply was made, laughingly.
''Why, so far he has said nothing to be an
wered."

GENERAL BENNETT effectively disposes of
Commissioner Blacks statements before the
SENATE committee respecting the granting of
his pension. 1t is scarcely possible that Gen.
Black did not know the real facts when he
gave his garbled account. If he did, it is
only another instance of his infnitessimal lit
tieness, and, if he did not, it proves his
ignorant malice and incompetency.

From the Oourier-.TourndS
NEW ORLEANS, May 12.-The police of
this city to-day arrested Mrs. Sarah j.
Dockery, who is wanted in Fulton. KY,
for the murder Of her step-motner, Mrs.
Jane Wilkerson. at that place on Friday
last. The police were informed several
days ago that the woman with her
two children bad started tor this city and
was on her way to Texas. The Texas
trains we're watched, but she evidently
knew that the police we're looking for her
and made no attem Ot to leave. To-day they
got on her track and arrested her in an
unpretentiOus boarding house in a quiet
neighbOrboOd. She denied that she was
tue woman wanted until confronted by j.
I. Pullin. Marshal of Fulton, who mad
come here to look for her, and then she
admitted her identity and confessed the
killing. IL will be remembered that the
accused beat Mrs. WilkersOn to death
with hoe, woundIng her eleven times in
the head, and beating 1t to a Jelly. Mrs.
DOckerY says her step-mOther attacked
her with knife, and that she killed her
IN self-deft nse, She says that, Influenced
by her step-mOther,I cher father ill-treated
her, and, although a man OF wealth, COM
PEELED her TO work in the fields. After
the killing she fled, with her two chill
dren, and walked to the farm of her
brother in Obon county, Tenn, aud be
put her on a train for this city. The off
GERS from Fulton state that Mrs. Dockery
was believed to have murdered her own
mother, but the crime could not be
proven. Her husband mysteriously dis
appeared some time ago, and there is a
suspicion that she made away vita him.
She says, however, that her husband is
alive, aud that she can put the officers in
the way of finding him. The accused is
about 20 years OF age, evidently has In
dian blood in her veins, and manifests
some signs of insanity.
