The Christian Work" publishes an editorial this
week In favor OF compulsory arbitration. in which
It says among other things:
The present steel strike furnishes notable ev-
ample where the differer ces between two conflict
ing parties should be settled by arbitration. .
This state of things should not exist In civilized
community. The rights Of private property are not
protected and party be held responsible for
It's impairrnent destruction through the failure
hand il may be said that there is court Of equity
high tribunal of arbitration which has the power
to compel the employers to do anything except
what their own private interests may dictate. In
other words either side can refuse 10 r-ctify an
Injustice or even to carry out its agreements with
the other, matter how much the community may
be mace 10 suffer In consequence Of such re-
fusa This state OF helpl1 1ssness and uncer-
tainty is becoming more and more intolsrabl.. Not
only is 1t losing hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
\ waIes and compelling idleness and engendering
hostility the part Of the wo-kmen. but the en-
plovers are liable any time to be confronted with
a disastrous strike IN their business. In the
case of private individuals the courts have long
sin.. provided for all such troubles. and when we
adyocate compulsory arbitration between parties
Ike the Trust and the Amalsamated AssoCia-
ton we are simply recommending the same course
Of treatment and the same method of adjusting
their differences that has been found practicable be
tween private individuals. Without this compulsory
method OF arbitrating differences society would re-
turn at to it's primitive state or disorder, and
neither life nor property would be safe for mo-
meut. It IL evident that compulsory arbitra-
ton alone can remedy this. The reason why such
high courts of arbitration have not long ago been
formed TO settle the differences between nations.
labor unions and capital and parties virtually iT-
responsible Is because nations society and COM
munities have been able to simply exist without.
drawing when such courts of arbitration must
be formed FOR the protection OF all.
