HE FAVORS ARBITRATION
l.. II. MCCORMACK BEFORE THE IN
DUsTRIAL COMMISSION.
He Says Many Employers and Em-
pIOyes Are Now Settling Disputes
without Resort to Strikes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The industrial
commission to-day heard the testimony of
L. p. Mccormack, labor commissioner of
the State of Indiana, and of Prof. John
Graham Brooks. of Cambridge, Mass,
president of the National Consumers
League. Mr.. McCormacks testimony was
devoted largely to the subject of arbitra
ton. He said that mode of settling labor
disputes was rapidly gaining favor in his
State. In some trades arbitration, he said,
had almost supplanted strikes. and in
many branches of industries contracts be-
that in case of difficulty arbitration shall
be resorted TO without cessation of work.
the result being constantly increasing
good feeling between employer and en-
ploye. He urged the necessity and wisdom
of enforced arbitration in extreme cases,
where the interests of the public are con-
cerned, and where a long strike will bring
disaster to the people at large. This meth
cd, he thought, often would avert blood
shed, and he considered the method more
economical as well more humane than
calling in the military. Mr.. Mccormack
said that most of the labor troubles were
with unorganzed labor or new organiza-
tions, the older organizations being the
most conservative. He contended that,
while the labor organizations might not be
friendly to enforced arbitration, the inter-
ests of the public at large always should
be consulted rather than the wishes of the
few directly. engaged in a strike.
Prof. BrookSS testimony was devoted 20
the question of work in the sweatshops, in
the investigation of which he has been en-
gagged for many years He said the Massa-
chusetts law works fairly well, but that in
New York and New Jersey the conditions
were most deplorable. In those States 1t
was impossible to secure adequate inspec-
ton because of the fact that the work is
done In private apartments. The wages
were the lowest possible and often were
pieced out with charity. making the com
petition with higher labor very intense.
People thus employed work from fourteen
to sixteen hours day, to the injury of
their own health and damage to the COM
politics gets into the subject, rendering
it impossible to make inspection.
Unless there is some influence brought to
bear strong enough to allow to get at
the private homes of these people the
tragedy will go on indefinitely" he said.
He advocated the substitution of factories
and argued that the result need not with
the use of proper machinery be an increase
of prices for the goods manufactured That
change also would result I'm higher wages
and an improvement of the garments. He
dwelt upon the danger of spreading disease
through the shops, saying 1t is always i'm
minent. Prices were getting to be so low
Mr.. Brooks said, that Americans very sell
dom engage in the work. Most of the
SweatshOp work is done by immigrants
from eastern Europe.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Nov. 13.-A strike
was ordered on the Santa Fe system to-
day, involving all the telegraph operators
west of Albuquerque, including those in the
employ of the Southern California and San
Joaquin Valley roads. The strike, how
ever. was of short duration, for within
thirty minutes of the first order, which
emanated from the grievance committee of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Photographers
at Chicago, there came a second order di-
recting the men to resume work. No de-
tails are obtainable at this end at present,
but it is presumed that concessions were
made to the brotherhood to call the strike
off, The duration of the strike was so linn
tied that, so far as known, none Of the men
actually left their keys.
