THE LABOR DISPUTES.

Congressman Endeavoring to Find a Solution
of the Great Problem.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Thare is talk among
Congressman again about establishing court
of arbitration where all labor troubles may be
settled amicably. Probably bill on the SUBJ
ject will be introduced by some one who has
given the subject sufficient thought to submit a
feasible plan of avoiding such difficulties as have
been experienced during the past fortnight
Nearly every statesman has distinct idea as to
what Congress ought and can do in the premises
Many want to empower the county district or
United States judiciary with authority to arbi-
trate labor disputes. Others say this sould not
do. because these officials would not do justice
to all parties; that there would be too much
chance for favor and too much politics in the
arbitration of labor disputes to devolve it upon
any officer who was in the slightest responsible
to the people whore located for the position he
occupied.
Most statesmen favor the creation of trbu-
nal, with instructions to move about from one
section of country to another, and hear and de-
termine questions which create strikes. And
yet the impracticability of any tribunal for this
purpose is argued by men of great ability in
craftsmanship, and men Of very wide expert
ence, said an old Senator to-day.
''My mind drifts on this subject One day
think we can legislate strikes, and violence, and
destruction of property by force out of existence;
then conclude the next day IL cannot be done.
There must be n penalty attached to all laws or
they may as well not be enacted. Now, we
could not force the employe or employer into an
arbitration Of dispute over private business

Chamberlain and Trevelyan Tender Their
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the Disagreement.
LONDON, March 16-Despite all theories to
the contrary, it is learned to-day, authoritively.
that both Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, President of
the Local Government Board, and Mr.. Treve
lyan. Secretary for Scotland, have placed their
designations in the hands of Mr.. Gladstone The
Premier has, howevers declined to accept the
designations His answer to the tender of them
was conciliatory one. He suggested to both
gentlemen that they defer final decision on the
designations until after personal discussion OF
the question at issue between them and him.
To this both Mr. Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevel-
yam have assented. It is now known that the
subject of dispute between the Premier and Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyan is Mr..
Gladstone's Irish appropriation scheme The
exact sum which will be required to
buy out all the landowners Of the country, ac-
cording to the Premiers plan, is f150, 000, 900
sterling. The proposition to increase the public
debt of Great Britain that much, in order to pur
chase peace in Ireland, is claimed by the Radi-
ical leaders in the Cabinet to be asking fa- too
much for what will be obtained. There was to
have been special meeting of the Cabinet to-
day. It has. however, been postponed for the
purpose of giving the resigning Ministers time
for reflection. in the hope that both will change
their minds. Their personal friends declare that
neither Mr. Chamberlain nor Mr.. Treyelyan will
alter his purpose of refusing to participate in
government which is to be responsible for Mr..
Gladstone's Irish land scheme.
Both Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyan
were in their usual places in the House of Com
mons to-day, and chatted with Mr. Gladstone.
The News says that Messrs. Chamberlain and
ment of their views of the land scheme. The
Cabinet council has consequently decided TO
postpone any action likely to lead to dissension.
It is an honest effort, without acerbity on the
part of the majority and minority to arrive at the
best solution for the welfare of Ireland IntEs
meantime both Mr. Chamberlain and Mr.. Tre-
velyan will continue discharging their official
members OF Parliament to a conference ton
row, on the crofters question. Mr.. Chamberlain
agrees to giving Ireland home rule, but is opposed
to buying out the landlords.
Michael Davitt, in speech at Oxford, an

eighty of whom, he supposed, might become
rulers. He believed that Ireland would not i'm
