nor whether any one person, was the
author Of the resolutions. The Arst
resolution purports to be made BY the
chamber OF commerce and citizens,
while the last purports to be by the cit
liens OF Wheeling. It may be that the
citizens Of Wheeling include the cham
Der of commerce. The mind that form
ed the, first resolution evidently con-
sidered It desirable to use the chamber
of commerce as well as the citizens. It
is not intended. however, to quarrel or
be captious with the author or authors
OF the resolutions AS above stated
the writer Of this has no reason to
question the absolute good faith and
fair Intentions Of the persons propos-
ing and supporting as we'll as those OPP
posing the resolutions adopted at that
meeting. A mistake has unquestion-
ably been made. and. the question now
confronting the people Is, how to pre-
vent o widening OF the breach. y
The Undersigned is Of the opinion that
a solution Of the difficulty may. be ar
rived at by either OF two methods.
First. mediation. or second. arbltra-
ton. &, =, Il h
AS to mediation, assuming that rel
Their side Is averse to a settlement there
should be no difficulty In securing the
services Of two or three impartial men
who would look into the matter, confer
with each side. and bring about the
consent OF each OF the 5contending par
ties to what might seem to the media
tors u fair basis OF settlement In
making an effort to settle by media
ton the principals OF course necessarily
finally determine the matter whether or
not they will settle on the basis sug-
gested by the medIators.- And In the
event Of such mediation and the refus-
al by. either side to accept the, result
the public could form Its own eonclus-
ions and act accordingly. ia
AS to arbitration. This method Is too
well known to need explanation. It
has It's disadvantages and frequently
results In dissatisfaction. A settlement
by 1t Is not founded as Is mediation on
the assent OF the principals to present
result. 1t Is an agreement to abide by
a result not known but to be thereafter
arrived at Nevertheless. taking 1t as
whole. arbitration US principle has
been successful. And II in this ,stance
arbitration were to be resorted to, and
result attained that was not fla
grant violation Of the rights OF either
Of the contcnding parties. and either
party should refuse to abide by such
result the public could In like manner
form its conclusions and net according
ly.
The writer submits the foregoing In
the hope Of calling attention to and
making apparent the unfairness OF the
resolutions Of the meeting referred to.
In doing. and In suggesting n set
tlement by mediation or arbitration. he
disclaims NIL desire to participate either
as Il mediator or as an arbitrator. He
nvnils himself Of the opportunity 10 be
heard afforded by the Language OF the
resolutions calling upon all good cti-
zcns to Join In the move to patronizc
the cars in accordance with the pro-
gramme announced therein. For the
reasons hercinbcforc stated he Is op-
posed to the resolutions adopted and so
far MS he Is concerned to the carrying
out of the proposed plan. !
Respectfully.
