INVESTIGATION NECESSARY.

The charges which have been made IN
connection with the award of the contract
to the Gamewell Company for the police
telegraph system are so numerous and so
positive as to require an investigation of
the transaction. 1t is charged by the agents
of other companies that while the Came
well Company's system has been on exhi-
bition in the mayors office for months
competitors were not given a fair Oppor-
tunity to show the merits of their respec-
tive systems. Evidence is presented to
show that the Gamewell system is no better
than others which cost only about half as
much as the price proposed to be paid by
the city for the Gamewell boxes Further
more, it is asserted by two men that
member of the Council has been Offering to
secure contract for one of the COMPETE
tors of the successful competitor.
All of these charges involve the official
character of those who examined the tele-
graph systems and made the award The
Journal does not say that these charges
have any foundation in fact, but the mayor
and the Board OF Safety cannot afford to
ignore them.
There is even greater reason why the
Council should make a searching investiga-
ton. Two men state that a member of
the Council has offered to secure a contract
for their company in consideration of the
payment of several thousand dollars AS
10 member is named suspicion will be
fixed upon any one of several members of
that body No member of a council which
hitherto has given no occasion for charges
of corruption being preferred against it
can afford to ignore the explicit charge
that one of that body has sought a bride
II these charges shall be ignored the public
will have a right to infer that more than
one member of that body was represented
by the one who, it is charged, offered to
obtain contract for a consideration. 1t
is greatly to the credit of Indianapolis that
1t can be said that its councils have not
been made up of men who can be pur-
chased. AT a time when revelations of
mlsrule in cities through booding councils
are frequent, it is most important that the
Council of Indianapolis shall declare that
no boodler or would-be bribe-taker shall
bring disgrace upon it and general distrust
to the management of city affairs 1t is
specially important now, when the city is
entering upon a large expenditure for parks
and when most important action must be
taken in regard to street railways. that
the Council shall vindicate it's integrity by
promptly investigating the charges made
against one or all of it's members
Meantime the contract which has been
partially made should be held up until a
thorough investigation can be had.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-07-05

would have saved millions of money and
gained UNNECESSARILY in dignity. justice
and regard for individual rights and law
and order.
We are now at the beginning of a strike
which, if allowed to run it's course, may
prove as long and disastrous in its results
as that Of 1894. The lesson of that strike
should not have been lost. 1t showed the
necessity OF national arbitration law. If
Congress can regulate interstate commerce
it can also legislate for the settlement by
arbitration of interstate labor disturbances.
There is as much need of a uniform arbi-
tration law as there is of uniform bank
ruptcy law, and, while the Constitution
does not in express terms confer on Con-
gress power to pass such a law, it can be
found in the implied powers of Congress.
But the absence of national legislation need
not prevent an attempt being made to ar
bitrate the present controversy. Some of
the coal-mining States have labor commits
sions, with authority to investigate and
arbitrate labor troubles. Indiana has such
law passed by the last Legislature, and
competent for that commission to open
communications Immediately with the la
Dor commissioners of other coal-mining
States with view of arbitrating the pres
ent controversy. Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois all have such commissions, and
they ought to be glad to cooperate in a
matter of this kind. But the work need
not be left to the labor commissions. There
is no reason why the Governors of these
States should not constitute themselves a
commission to act on parallel lines with the
labor commissions in bringing about a set
tlement of the controversy. If a movement
of this kind were begun Immediately it
might result in a settlement within two
weeks, while if nothing is done the strike
may continue two months, as that of 1894
did There is a fine opportunity here for
prompt and effective action if those in au-
thority will improve it,

The silver orators, who are, brushing up

A goodly portion of the immense stock of
manufactured articles now stacked up in
the port cities of the country can be
charged to the obstacles thrown in the way
of a new tariff law by the Democracy in the
Senate. A full month of time has been
thus lost and millions of dollars worth of
goods manufactured abroad, instead of by
our own people have been landed in that
time, every dollars worth aiding to staVe
off the good-time looming that much longer.

If the expenditures for the poor by town
ship trustees and by county commissioners
were divided. equally among the inhabitants
of the State each would have A cents to
pay. But to the taxpayer it enlarges to
dollars. We hear of no disposition on the
part of the latter to grOwl where only wor-
thy poor are helped. but there is increasing
demand that there should be just diScrim-
inatiOn, and that taxes levied for that pur-
pose shall not be so paid as to foster their

One of the most encouraging signs of the
better times coming and of the nearness of

three or four years. The increase in orders

WHY NOT ARBITRATE.

The experience of past years should have
impressed upon the country the Importance
of providing for some better method of set
Ting labor troubles than by strikes.
In fact, this is about the most costly and
least satisfactory method conceivable.
Strikes, while they last, are practically a
