LITERARY NOTES.

pies the whole of the December number
OF The Journal of Suggestive Therapeu-
tics CThe Psychic Research Company.

The Boston Transcript says: Sincere
thanks are hereby rendered to Kate
Douglas Wiggin for her addition to
Penelope's experiences In the Atlantic.
Penelope, it seems, according to her
chronicler, happened to be in Ireland
when the queen visited that country
last year, and the things she saw and
the things she heard in the street when
the queen was received by the people
OF Dublin are, to use the small BOYS
slang, great. The second iEstallment
appears in the December Atlantic.
Editor Kneedler, of the Optimist. is
keeping up the typographical daintiness
of his clever publication better than tie
cheerful spirit which its name promises
Bolton Hall and w. J. Hampton grow
very cynical in the December number
and tendency to philistinism is appar-
ent in other selections which was not
fOreshadowed by the earlier numbers.
Nevertheless, the magazine retains much
charm of form and color, and from a
literary standpoint is hardly impeacha-
BILE
The most important group of papers
which the Atlantic Monthly will offer to
it's readers during 1901 is a series of
scholarly, bipartisan studies of the Re-
construction Period. The various au-
thors represent both the South and the
North, and many shades of political
opinion. The following are a few of
those who will contribute papers: Prof.
Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Nelson Page,
Hon. Samuel A. Mccall, Hon. D. II.
Chamberlain and ex-Secretary. of the
Navy Herbert.
The Bohemian, monthly magazine of
unique stories, published in Boston,
makes it's first appearance with the De-
cember number. AS its name implies, it
appeals to those whose impulses are
generous, whose hearts are warm, and
whose tastes are cultivated. The sig
nificance of the term Bohemian has been
somewhat enlarged within a few years.
1t includes not only those who love pleas
ure without regard to conventionalities,
but all who appreciate good fellowship,
whether without or within the pale u
convention. The first number contains
some striking fiction and verse. Among
the strongest of the stories are the
Shears of Atropos,' by Edward Payson
Jackson; @Mere Pompon, vivid story
of Bohemian Paris, by Everit Bogert
Terhune, and a unique problem story,
''Was She Justified by F. Ernest Hol-
man. If the editors keep the contents
up to the high standard of this frst
number we predict widespread popularity
for The Bohemian.

GoMPERs, oRJEcTIoNs.

The experience of American society
with strikes and lockouts for the past
two decades has been such as that in any
other country would have impelIed public
authority to adopt some effective means
or other to save the commercial and in
dustrial interests Of the people from the
wanton injury which Invariably results
from such occurrences.
Compulsory arbitration has been under
consideration for some considerabe
period as involving possible solution of
the difficulties in this particular direction
arising from industrial disputes, ending
in strikes or loclzouts. The system is in
successful operation in New Zealand, and
has, we believe, been adopted in one of
the American states. At the present time
most of the states have provisions in
their laws for the submission of trade
disputes to state boards of arbitration;
but it is conceded that the wholly volun-
tary principle represented by such laws
has been found entirely ineffective.
Among the best informed students of the
labor question the plan of enforced legal
lied Cancellation and arbitration through
state agency is accepted as offering a
way out Of the difficulty.
In his address at the opening of the
convention of the American Federation
Of Labor in session during the present
week at Louisville, KY, President Com
pers expressed uncompromising hostility
to the proposal. He seems to have
discovered in it a scheme for the
destruction of the liberty of action
of the members oc trades union organiza-
tons, by compelling them through state
authority to accept any award which
may be made against their contentious,
while at the same time enabling en-
ployers to avoid in various ways the eff
feet of such awards.
Mr. Gompers is not very specific in his
statement of his objections, and fails to
set forth with anything like detail the
way in which employers might avoid,
while employees would be bound by,
awards rendered by state authority His
nearest approach to an explanation in
this regard can be judged from the fol-
lowing language taken from his address:
Organized labor cannot by attempted
secrecy evade the provisions Of an award
reached by compulsory arbitration and
| determine upon a strike. By reason Of
their large numbers, their every act would
be an open and public act known to
all, while on the other hand an employer,
| Or an association of employers. could
easily evade the provisions of such a
law or award by modern processes of en-
forcing a lockout-that is, TO undertake
a reorganization of their labor forces.
Further on in his address MIR Gompers
says:
eff organized labor should fail to ap-
preciate the danger involved IN the pro-
posed schemes of so-called compulsory
