COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
Overshadowed by Plan Which Works
Easily and Yields Good Results.

Boston, Aug. 8l.-Compulsory srbitra-
lion is prolific theme for writers on
sociology and kindred topics. The plan
has many advocates and as many oppo-
nents, tho main argument Of the latter
b3ing that it proposes an invasion of per
sonal liberty. Ii is generally conceded
that II, without infringing upon oonstitu-
tlonal rights, labor difficulties could be
adjusted through the Intervention of the
law, it would eliminate much that is now
deplored in the frequent strifes between
labor and capital. Richard p. Barry of
the state board of arbitration favors plan
which he describes as follows:
1.-THE plan is In operation in nearly all
the shoe factories, and has worked admi-
rably. Its more extensive adoption would,
in my opinion, greatly lessen the number
OF strikes. When an employe enters tho
service Of firm be is required To sign an
agreement. This agreement, which is a
perfectly fair one, provides that all differ
ences shall be settled by arbitration. The
employer and employe bind themselves in
this manner 10 the end that they both
may benefit thereby
When differences arise, a conference
follows, and il the result OF this talk ON
the question In dispute Is unsatisfactory,
the matter, as per agreement. il submitted
TO the state board Of arbitration for ad-
1ustment. This plan has worked satisfao-
torily and in none of tho factories where
1t is in force has there ever been a serious
rupture.
The idea contained in the scheme Is
along the line of compulsory arbitration,
and rs IL becomes more generally under
stood, is likely to meet with more extern
sive approval and adoption. As for com
pulsory arbitration, I think that it II
feasible in "A limited or restricted sense.
For instance, / think that when the
legislature grants railroad or railway
a charter il should contain . |
clause that in event OF strike, causing
public inconvenience or suffer
ing, the company shall be compelled to
submit the question TO the state board Of |
arbitration. This would place the respon-
sibility on the corporations employees and |
would undoubtedly do much toward di- |
the evil effects of strikes. Ger
tain it Is that something must be done TO
lessen the number OF disturbances between
capital and labor"
