Remarks the New York Post: "The
settlement of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road strike by arbitration, so soon
after the settlement of a much larger
one (the coal miners strlke) in Eng
land by the same means is cause for
both thankfulness and hope. The
principles of arbitration are applicable
to every conceivable dispute between
employer and employe. This is not
saying that the decision of arbitrators
must perforce be accepted by both
parties in every case. That might not
be possible in every case, but in nine
cases out of ten it would be accepted,
and the result would be the saving of
millions of dollars to this country
every year, besides improving the tenn
per and self-respect of all the parties
concerned. 1t would undoubtedly
improve the quality and amount of the
work done also, by satisfying the en-
ployes that their rights were secured
to them as well rs possible under the
circumstances. A very timely publica-
tion on this subject is a volume of 116
pages entitled Industrial Arbitration
and Cancellation, compiled by jose
phine Shaw Lowell. 1t gives de-
tailed account of the working of arbi-
tration in concrete cases in England,
Belgium and the United States. Such
illustrations are far more enlightening
than any abstract argument could be.
1t is to be hoped that Mrs. Lowell
will, in future edition, add the de-
tails of the English coal-mine arbitra-
ton and that of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. All such literature should
be kept in handy place."

Chicago is not contented with hav-
ing made the Worlds Fair success,
but is reaching out for everything in
sight, notes the New Orleans Picay-
une. Her latest scheme is to make
herself the center of the waterways of
the United States. This she thinks
may be accomplished by the Henne-
pin canal, now under construction
from that city to the Mississippi river,
and by ship canal from the south
end of Lake Michigan to the western
end of Lake Erie at Toledo. The dis
tance is 14O miles, and this canal
would cut off $50 miles of dangerous
lake navigation, saving time, interest
and insurance. The canal, it is esti-
mated, could be built for $50, 900, 900
the interest on which would be more
than saved on freight charges. 1t is
thought that the canal would be a
profitable investment, and add greatly
to Chicago's business and Importance.
