pecially the prudent and constitutional
conduct of Gov. Pattison touching the

oi armed forces, unknown to the law
such as Pinkertons, in the settlement
OF labor questions; we believe that
such differences should be adjusted by
arbitrationi that capital and labor are
dependent upon each other for pros
perlty, and that spirit of fairness and
equity should govern all the relations
between such important factors of our
Well-being; and to this end we would
favor a compulsory arbitration law
peaceable and effectually TO adjust and
settle all wage disputes arising in our
great industries.
WHEREAS, The last county election
developed an unfortunate division in
the Democracy of this county, result
ing in defeat Of our party, for which

the Democracy of Carbon should sink
their differences, and in common inter
est move in an united column against
their adversartes, especially in a presi-
dental year; therefore be it

committee be empowered TO appoint,
At any time hereafter, committee of
nve 10 meet similar committee of
those who differ from us, with power
TO such committee TO agree on any fair
and equitable adjustment and organi-
cation Of the party at the coming eoun-
ty meetingi and
WHEREAS, The rules of the party do
not provide for the calling TO order of
the county meeting by any particular
person; therefore
RESOLVED, That as further evidence
OF our purpose TO use all honorable
means 10 secure harmony In the coun-
ty, We waive the right of our chairman
% act in such capacity, provided the
faction will do likewise; further we
viii agree that the said county meet
