GOMPERS ON ARBITRATION.
he Thought the strike should Con.
tinue a Little Longer.

CHICAGO, July 13.-fn the course of
IN interview, shortly after midnight,
Samuel Gompers. President of the
American Federation of Labor, reverting
to the cause and effect of the present
crisis. said:
Il doubt whether the action OF the
Committee on Arbitration to be appoint
ed by President Cleveland will mater
slly affect the Pullman strike as 1t was
originally because l do not see how 1t
has anything to do with the Interstate
Commerce law.
MY understanding is that the O'Neill
law can only take effect when the Com
merce law is violated
He thus left the impression that the
arbitration would be of no force. because
the Pullman strike did not come under
the law OF arbitration. and therefore the
only means of obtaining a settlement
would be by carrying on the strike.
In passing his comments o. moral law,
strike legislation and historical prece-
dents, Mr.. Gompers referred to the set
Element of the great miners strike in
England. last year when Lord
hOSeDeTy arDltrated the QlHerenCeS De-
tween the mine owners and strikers.
THE conditions" said he, were the
same as now exist here. Military force
was brought in and all of this done to
force settlement; but it could not be
done In that way. Lord Rosebery took
upon himself to settle 1t and did. 1t
seems to me II that could be done in
Europe, 1t could be done here in Amer
lea. We must have strict arbitration
laws here
In furtherance of his idea Of the moral
force of the Government, which he
terms arbitration. Mr.. Gompers seemed
to think that the strike must be car
ried on Tor some time yet, when he said
There must be contending forces in
order to have an arbitration. The
President must appoint his commit
tee and they must come here. They
have full power 10 act. They will have
10 closely examine this whole matte
and then report to the President and
10 Congress, and then action will be
taken by that body. If the strike is
stopped at any time 1t will then be
