DO THEY ARBITRATE? g?


In theory arbitration is the most economical
and fair means of settling disputes between
individuals. There are, it is true, many
reasons to commend such means of arriving
Al an amicable adjustment of differences be-
tween itigants, but the faith of many people
in this respect has undergone great change.
In the light of recent events the question
naturally arises, do the arbitrators perform
their full duty2 Do they arbitrate2 So far
as the people of Shenandoah are concerned,
they can, to their sorrow, give a negative
answer to the question. Every suit to which
tho borough has been party, and which has
been submitted to arbitrators, has been
decided against it; not because of the equity
Of the individuals claim, surely. There
must be some other reason.
The result of the Stauffer arbitration is
good illustration of the point. The award
was hardly in accordance with the facts in
the case and it appears that the conclusions
arrived at by the srbitrators were reached in
the same manner that the average jury Of
tweIve good men and true" submit YER
aiot-place the costs and damages on the
municipality; they can well afford to pay,
while the other fellow" can't This is not
snly true of municipalities, but of private
corporations also. These "soulless bodies" will
never be given the benefit of doubt. This
view Of the matter is all wrong, and there is
much room for reform in the system of arbi-
tration as conducted in sshuylkill county.
Another bad feature, and one that is pro-
austive Of much injustice is the effect that
the award Of the arbitrators has upon the
minds Of the jury, in case of an appeal.
Nine times out of ten jury will render
their verdict moro in accordance with the
finding Of the srbitrators than they will Of
the evidence submitted to them.
In eonnestion with this subject, the ques-
6on Of discrimination is one that causes much
dissatisfaction outside Of the boundaries of
the county seat and that immediate neighbor-
hood. Every board Of arbitration appointed is
composed exclusively of men who live within
the shadow Of the court house, and the same
names appear quite frequently-too much 50
for other sections of the county, and especially
iAoTth Of the mountain. Mr.. staufter and
his draughtsman, one Boyer by name. reside
nearer Shenandoah than Pottsville; they
could reach their homes in much less time !
Abe expense incurred would be about one
half were the Arbitrators selected from this or
some adjoining town. Everything--eon
venienoe, economy and eIpedition-would
naturally suggest the naming of arbitrators
from locality adjacent to Shenandoah
This feature Of the present system is one that

Expelled from the Loyal Legion.

New YORK, Dec. 5.-Major William S.
Andrews, formerly street cleaning com.
missioner and excise commissioners, was
expelled from membership in the New
York commandery of the Loyal Legion
last night. Major Andrews had been
found guilty by the board Of officers of the
commandery few months ago upon five
out Of seven charges preferred against him
Of conduct unbecoming an officer. The
charges were based upon testimony taken
at the time of the sessions of the Lexow
committee rejecting upon Mr.. Andrews
record in the street cleaning department.

A Pattern for Pennsylvania.

Boston, Dec. 5-Chief James Campbell

the district police here yesterday and held
a lengthy conference on how Boston and

The visitors expressed themselves as de,

have the Pennsylvania legislature enact
laws similar to those enacted here, as they
think the present evils existing in their
state can be greatly reduced thereby.

The Accident Unavoidable.

BREwsTERs, N. Y, Dec. 5.-CoroneI
Penny held an inquest yesterday over the
remains of the ten men who were killed
in the lilly Foster mine disaster on Friday
last. The jury returned verdict that the
accident was unavoidable. Contractor
Stephens offered men $23, besides their
days wages, to work in the pit, so as to
recover three bodies still in the mine.
None of them would venture into the pit,
however, as the constantly falling rocks
are a menace to life and limb.
