A Chamber of Arbitration.

The Corporation OF the City Of London
inaugurAted two weeks ago a novel addition
TO the city's machinery for the determine
ton and dispensing OF justice. In the estab-
lishment OF Chamber OF Arbitration. The
Chamber is designed. as the prospectus an
nounces. to secure the speedy and mex
pensive settlement of such disputes arising
in the course of business as can best be
dealt with by experienced men OF business.
and to provide facilities for disputants to
settle their differences without having re-
course to litigation. The institution seems
to be something the citizens OF London
really want. and its importance should not
be Judged by the standard OF our own
grotesque and quxotic Board OF Mediation
and Arbitration.
The formation OF this Chamber Is the re-
suit Of the labors OF committee appointed
by the Corporation ten years ago to con-
slider tho question OF commercial arbitra-
ton and to draw up scheme suited to the
wants OF the existing trade OF London. The
membership Of the committee has varied
In that time. and 1t has comprised some
men OF commercial and legislative emf
nence. In 1888 tho committee secured I'm
expression Of opinion from 4,G25 firms. or
individual commercial men. on the subject
OF, tho establishment OF such Chamber:
and Of these 93 per cent. were In favor OF 1t.
Some were Indifferent. but very few OPP
posed It,. Since the decision to found such
Chamber there have been more than 1900
applications for the appointment OF arbi-
traitors. The Chamber Of Commerce has
been working with the Corporation In tho
matter aud with equal ardor.
Committees OF arbitration have long ex-
listed ia connection with the various Ex-
changes III London and the principal busl-
ness associations. Their workings have
been useful, but not completely satisfac-
tory, especially in cases concerning foreign
ers or country traders. or in which bust
ness secrets have to be divulged to
competitors acting as arbitrators. And
there has existed no provision for arbitra-
ton In connection with multitude Of In
dustries and on questions relating to part
nerships. employer and employed ship
ping. carriage Of goods. and like matters.
The Corporation Of the City OF London has
organized the new Chamber OF Arb!tra-
ton and will maintain it. The Chamber OF
Commerce will select the arbtrators. who
will hold their appointment from the Cor
poratlon. They will be men specially quail
fled either by long business experience or
special trade knowledge. or both, to act as
aybitrators. tits desired to form panel OF
arbitrators. to include all trades and bust
ness interests. and the promoters of the
scheme are anxious that it should be n COW
