COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.


The suggestion is renewed that Con-
gress should legislate to make industrial
arbitration compulsory. 1t may in theory
be conceded that it would be good thing;
indeed, it is not to be doubted, were it not
that such enactment would be discordant
in the harmony of the system of free gov
eminent.
The theoretical view of the question
that is now being pushed to the front at the
East is unquestionably strong, and there
is no man living, probably, who would
not rejoice in such a condition as the
theory argues must be the outcome. The
difficulty is, however, that when we
come to the practice, we run squarely
afoul of the substructural form of our
Government, the personal liberty of the
citizen.
If the judgment of national arbitrator
ran against the employer, it would be
without vigor unless back of it stood the
power of the Government to enforce the
urer TO run his works, or to forbid him
operating them. So, too, if the decree ran
against the worker, the law would, of ne
cessity, compel compliance; that the
worker should work for the employer at
the wage and on the terms specified in
the decree.
4 w q ra To ha
and shops, or compel the owners to oper-
ate them, then we must compel the wage
earners to work for the employer when
the decision is against them, or to cease
work, as the case may be. How such at
tempts could be kept in harmony with
the spirit of free government we cannot
comprehend. How could the law be en-
forced against a worker, conceding that
il might be done against the employer.
for he has property that may be dis
tressed by legal process; the worker has
his skill, which no law can compel him
to exercise.
Granted that there might be submission
to the decree of arbitration by workers
and still the principle involved is not
affected. The thought of imprisoning
workman for refusing to bring his skill
into play is too absurd to be contem-
plated for a moment, for it means invol-
untary labor, and that and free govern
ment cannot exist together. 1t is replied,
we are aware, and was so urged before
the Congressional committee examining
into theauestion, that the purpose of en-
forced arbitration would be accomplished
when the award was made, leaving it to
either party to accept, under penalty in
one case of losing labors assistance, and
in the other of yielding the places to
those who are willing to take the vacated
positions. However we look at it we can
see only behind it the CLEAN of tyran-
nous blade. An enforced arbitration
without an enforced decree equally vigor-
GUS on both sides, would be no more than
voluntary arbitration.

JUST WHY 1T WAS DONE.

The effort has been made to make it ap-
pear that the Capital removal resolution
was long contemplated, and was not due
to sensational journalism.
In his speech at San Jose Wednesday,
Senator Seymour, by request, told the
whole story, in which he asserted that
the proposition was sudden, was made
because legislators had been classed as
drunkards, thieves, ETC., and that because
character had been sweepingly assaiIed
he concluded an opportune time had ar
rived to remove the Capital from a city
he did not like. But still he submitted
the matter TO the flip of the coin, heads or
tails, and San Jose won.
He callediMr. Orr and Mr.. Brandon to
his desk, the resolution was drawn then
and there, and there was no precon-
certed arrangement about it. So that ali
this effort to make it appear that the
introduction OF the resolution was the re-
suit of secret and long considered plotting
and log rolling, and all that, is bosh, &C
cording to the man who best of all knows
lust what the truth is.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

J.H. Henry has published a card in re-
gard to propositions for supplying the
city with water in which there are many
statements that are wilfully and ma
liciously false. He says that Messrs.
Gallatin and Livermore propose to fur
nish ditch water, and that the RECORD
UNION viii favor it. He knows as well
as anyone that Messrs. Gallatin and
Livermore have not made any PROPOSE
ton to furnish ditch water, and he knows
equally well, for we published the fact
only two weeks ago, that the RECORD
UNION would never advocate the intro
duction OF ditch water. 1t will advocate
the best source of water supply, but it
will not favor any franchise to Mr.
Henry to furnish water, or anything
else. for this city. He has proven him.
self to be the enemy of Sacramento, and
whoever is the enemy of Sacramento will
meet with all the opposition the RECORD
UNION is capable of. We are for Sacra-
mento first, last and all the time.

THE WONDER OF THE PRESENT.

There is no incident of modern times
that more emphatically's speaks of modern
scientific advance than that related by II.
l. Webb, in the Engineering Magazine
for March. He says:
A few weeks ago a business man in New
York City telegraphed to the owner OF a big
poultry-farm in small town in Illinois to go
II CHICAGO and meet him at a certain hour
on the long-distance telephone line that now
places New York on speaking terms with chi
ra0O The Illinois farmer kept the appoint
roent and the two conversed together over the
wires for haIEan-hour, At the end of the con-
versation the Illinois man emerged from the
telephone-booth, paid his S54 with entire
satisfaction, and exclaimed with great glee;
"Great Scott, Tve Just sold hundred thou
sand chickens"
Ifanyone forty years ago had told such
a story as a possibility of the near future,
the man would have been set down as
demented, the victim ola cranky idea that
would very likely land him in an asylum
for the insane. But now we are looking
forward with confidence and without
snrprise to the speedy arrangement of
cable wires, through which the New
York and Liverpool merchants may con-
verse across the Atlantic.
Thus the wonders of the present open
our minds to reception of the idea OF still
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1893-03-18

like all others, must be judged by their
work. The sense of fairness among the
American people will not approve pre-
judgment. Let the people refuse to be
biased by partisan sowing of the seeds of
distrust. If the Cabinet heads are not
equal to their trusts it is best proved by
works. We agree with the Kansas Times
that capacity in manning an office is to be
tested by the manner in which it is COM
manded. We are very much mistaken
if the new President does not mean to
make his Woodworking Administra-
ton.

THE actors Warde and James did very
graceful thing, and one that entities them
to sincere praise, in going out to the
Whittier School and entertaining the
boys and girls there under State super
intendence. They gave three scenes
from julius Caesar and numerous char
acter acts ana Rotations, assisted by the
son OF MIR. Warde. Probably these artists
never had more enthusiastic audience,
certainly never more grateful one.

THE BEHRING SEA ARBITRATION.

THE BEHRING SEA ARBITRATION.
1t is very gratifying to know that next
week the real work of arbitration in the
settlement of the Behring Sea contro-
versy will begin and that the verdict will
be rendered probably before Congress
meets in December next. The repre-
sentative of Canada at the court, Sir John
Thompson, is now en- route to Paris and
on his arrival all those who are to take
part will have assembled. The agent for
the United States is ex-Secretary of State
Foster and our members OF the court are
Justice Harlan and Senator Morgan. In
their hands the cause of the United States
is safely reposed. Practically, out of the
five questions to be passed upon there is
but one to be decided that deeply inter
ests D.. our people, and that is, what
are the present rights of the United
States in the sea? The other
questions are really subsidiary to
this. Once let it be settled what is our
jurisdiction over the sea and all else will
be of easy adjustment. If the minor
questions are decided in our favor and
the main one adversely to US, we will
have gained no more than would Great
Britain if it were held that our jurisdic-
ton is not absolute. 1t must be under
stood that up to this moment criticism
of our jurisdictioual claim has not met
with favor among the lawyers and states
men of Europe. on grounds taken from
the standpoints of international law. But
there are no precedents by which judg
ment is to be guided. Our case is new
one, wholly so. Its decision will set up
the first standard; it will be the first
line written in a new chapter of inter-
national law.

THE second State Citrus Fair for 1893 is

The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1893-03-18

more wonderful achievements. AS we
prove the possibilities of overcoming the
obstacles of time and distance, we ex-
pand our views to the contemplation of
schemes for more heroic contests with
whatever tends to fetter perfect freedom
and the utmost rapidity OF action.
The fact is, as Mr.. Webb puts it, that
had Jules Verne put the story of the
long-distance telephone as we know it
into one of his fanciful books, we would,
even as late as eight or ten years ago,
have looked upon it as flight of fancy on
a par with his story of trip to the moon,
with mighty projectile as the vehicle of
transportation.
Yet here we have it now as sober fact,
that a husband too busy to accompany
his family on it's trip to watering place
five hundred miles away, every day
calls up'' his wife by wire, and the two
have a quiet chat and keep in touch con-
corning the domestic affairs of the house
hold group.
We have it also as an actual fact that a
New Yorker not long ago, suffering a
fracture of his leg in city long dis
lance from his home, found that he must
"lay up'' for several weeks; he was for
hidden to move from his room under any
circumstances. But without him his
business would be like a ship without a
rudder. He therefore had long-distance
wire run to his bedside. and for weeks
conducted the extensive business OF his
house by lOng-distance telephone.
The next advance in the telephone
march will, according to Mr.. Webb, be
the economic relation of all outlying agri-
cultural districts with the markets and
towns. To some extent that has already
been done, but not so extensively as it
soon must be, nor so cheaply. Every
days journey that can be saved to the
farmer between farm and town operates
to bring his farm, for all practical pur-
poses, that much nearer to the town, and
thus to contribute, as do good roads, to
greater contentment with agricultural
life, and greater economy in agricultural
pursuits.
