A HOARD or Arbitration.
Bishop Potter Hopes 10 Prevent
strike. in New York.


New York, July 30.-Bishop Potter has
advised the leading members of the Social
Reform club that he is now prepared to
take up the work of organizing perm
anent council OF mediation and conclla-
ton with the purpose OF preventing
strikes by the surface railway employees
in New York
Edward King of the Social Reform club
in speaking of the matter said ut is
quite true that Bishop Potter meditatas
organizing such a board. He has in fact.
had IT IN mind for some time, He had
intended sending a communication to the
papers on the subject of Cancellation Just
about when it was reported that he was
10 arbltrate the recent differences be.
tween the surface railway companies and
their employees His position then was
that 1t was almost hopeless to expect
arbitration and besides that he himself
had been rejected by the labor men
through the newspapers friendliness 10
the strike, to become an arbitrator. This
he felt would be almost sure TO secure
his rejection by the capitalists. He
thought, however, that by writing TO one
or two newspapers which have the con.
tidenee OF capital he might thereby secure
some permanent mode of arbitration and
II was to this end he intended making
friends with the press. Bishop Potter
has been led to this view by the success
that attended certain Industries that have
avoided strikes for long time
Bishop Potter is at present president
of the New York council OF mediation and
Cancellation which consists of % leading
employers, professional men and repre-
sentatives of trades unions, This council
was organization with view TO avoiding
strikes in Industries where the employer
and the employed showed disposition
to submit their differences TO disntcrest-
ed arbitrators whose sole purpose is to
bring about better feeling between labor
and capital"

HUNTER is DELAYING.
The Case of Richards Not Yet Thor
OughIy Investigated.

New York. July 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The state
department is becoming impatient over
the delay of Minister Hunter in report
ing upon the case of f. w. Richards the
American citizen who some time ago was
deprived of his mining concession and
forced to leave Guatemala. The delay has
caused the authorities to fear that Min
lister Hunter has not given thorough in
vestigation to the complaints made by
Richards at the time he informed him
that the Guatemalan authorities had given
full assurances that they had ample evil
dence to warrant them in deportng the
American from the country. The auth
oritives are disposses to press this claim
and are urging that no delay be had in
dealing with the matter.

A Happy Introduction.

An Englishman who is an enthusi-
astic Alpine clubbist came in one night
to carry a friend off to q lecture which
the veteran mountaineer Whymper was
giving at Westminster on his pet theme.
Twenty Thousand Feet Above the
Sea" The friend could not go. for he
WAS otherwise engaged. but Whymper's
name reminded him Of story Of Sir
James Linton. the late president Of the
Royal Institution Of Painters In Water
Colors He had to introduce the well
known artist f. NJ Wimperis to tine
Alpinist. and he did it In the following
fashion: II want to make two distin-
guished men known to each other. The
one is Mr.. Whymper, the other Mr..
Wimperis- For an impromptu this is
not bad.
