The Usual Revolt.

AS usual, few labor bodies, under
ill-advised leadership, are already put
ting themselves in very unfavorablc
position on the arbitration move orig
mated in New York last week, under
the auspices of the National Civic Fed
Grafton. Before any test of good faith
has been attempted CT before there is
any call for an expression of their sen
timent or the question, the New York
cigar makers have declared that the
proposed arbitration could have no
control over any labor bodies, and that
therefore, no attention should be paid
to the proposal for report on the
subject. This was accompanied by some
aspersiops on the conduct of labor del
egates to the Civic Federation confer
ence
The fact that the conciliation con-
ference has no control over anyone
was SO obvious that its announcement
included the statement that 1t would
not undertake arbitration except at the
request Cf both sides. 1t is this man.
ifest aspect of the case that renders it
impossible to claim any further ad-
vance from the conference that the ad
hesion of men of great influence and
power on both sides to the principle Of
settling such disputes by reason insteo
of by force.
The hostile action Of the New York
body, so totally uncalled for, can only
bring labor into d!srepute. The as
sumption by unionism that labor does
not stand ready to accept arbitration,
all conditions being favorable, is not
one calculated to entrench the union
lists in the syp1pathies of the public a.
large.

in discussing the insane asylum mat
ter, said:
when the administration building

there is little doubt that all of the
insane persons who are legally entitled
to admission to the asylum can be
accommodated This new building at
the Topeka institution will provide
accommodations for the offices and
living quarters for the officers; vaca-
ting their present Quarters for wards:
The additional room thus furnished,
with the new hospital accommodation
at Osawatomie, now in course of con-
struction, and which will be occupied
by the SICK patients, will furnish much
additional room. 1t is believed that
all of the insane patients in the various
counties can then be accommodated at
the asylums:'
