Mr.. O'Neill's bill which has passed the
House by an overwhelming majority is a
somewhat crude attempt to solve the per-
picking labor problem. 1t was not offered
nor supported as perfect measure. Its
chief value consists in the fact thatit is adec-
laration of the American Congress in favor
of the principle of arbitration in the settle
ment of labor disputes, and that it presuma-
bly, represents the opinions of the great mass
of the people in this matter. Neither rail-
road corporations nor employees are bound to
accept it, that is there is nothing mandatory
about it. Nevertheless such we believe is
the force of public opinion behind it, that
both employed and employers will be very
slow to ignore it.
