wealth and energies TO good account for
the benefit OF the State.
BY investing largely in the shares of the

PHILADELPHIA'S DANGER.

The people of Philadelphia are in dread
that the streetcar lines of the city will be
tied up 10y u strike, a disagreement has
arisen between the managers of the lines
and their thousands of operatives. As
usual, the former are supercilious and re-
fuse to recognize labor organization in
proposals 10 arbitrate the differences. and
the workmen are angry and determined
All this is an old story.
The merits of the controversy require no
discussion here. There are graver consid.
erations, which both the managers and the
operatives refuse 10 take into account.
These affect the general interests of the
city. The uniailing disregard by both
capitalists and laborers 10 recognize the
fact that they rest under serious obliga-
ton TO the public offends the popular sense
of right and brings both sides of the
controversy into contempt. Herein do we
find reason both for a growing hatred of
capitalists and for lax support of the
rights and privileges of the laborlns classes.
The Brooklyn Streetcar strikes brought
heavier losses 10 private interests in that
city thAn did the recent terrible blizzard in
Chicago. The suspension of streetcar traf-
iic parslyxes business without easing its
expenses, ana by grievous personal annoy
snoes creates a bitter feeling among the
people. The whole trouble is that il has
never been the policy of any branch of our
governmental system, National. State,
county or municipal, 10 compel transporta-
tion companies and all interested in their
operation TO sustain the industrial condi-
tons which they have created. On the
contrary, they are permitted TO assume an
obligation without being required TO per-
form ii. Hence il is that they at viii par
alyEe business, destroy property values and
infliet serious personal injury and ineon-
venience in the settlement Of disputes
among themselves, The whole situation
is preposterous,
1t seems strange that some labor leaders
refuse TO lndorse the idea OF compulsory
arbitration" OF course there can be no
such thing as compulsory arbitration
for the reason that arbitration means the
willing submission of two disagreeing
parties TO the Judgment of a third What
is meant by the term is the creation Of
legal machinery for forciely taking charse
of the situation and adjusting the differ
enees ON legal basis, That is merely
trial by court and has no elements of arhi-
tration, Why do labor leaders object to
ite Are they afraid that the ''arhitrasorss'
will be controlled by the CAPITALISTS Ii
SO, they have voting strength sufficient
to put Just men into office.
Something will have TO be done to cor.
rect this prevalent and menacins evil.
IL is saalimely ridiculous 10 permit a
small fraction Of the community TO eSer.
else the power TO destroy public business
and wealth.
