in the matter of the coal strike.
IL be doe1 not It may not be out of |
place for us to suggest an explanation. |
No sooner had the Senator delivered |
himself of this mild type of relief for
the trouble then acute in the coal
regions, than the coal trust
took the alarm and attacked him
savagely for even the little he said
In favor Of arbitration.
Their reply was put forward through
| Walter w. Ross, counsel for the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail-
way, in which he said: Enforced
arbitration, morally or legally. goes
hand in hand with the
ratio of 16 to /, and the
American people will never stand for
either. 1t is simply Reputation Of
contractual rights" Mr.. Hanna did
not think Of replying to this charge
by saying that every lawsuit Is an en-
forced arbitration between the parties
to It, but seems to quail before the
accusation OF being 16 TO / man; he
even submitted, without resenting It,
to an insinuation by this same trust
lawyer that he was himself polit-
cal labor agitator, for Ross took pains

G and his Civic Federation back to their
t senses, and n mastery inactivity on
y their part in composing strikes has
/ been observable ever since.
g Mr.. Hanna, some time ago promised
a to take the Reverend Herbert Bige-
Il low to task because the latter said
n some disagreeable things about THEY
o ing and the penitentiary and the Sen
ate, which grated harshly upon the
l. membrani tympani of the Senatorial
e. auricnlar organs. We shall listen with
70 interest to this part of his speech, and
1t with more interest to what the parson
+ may have to say in reply when he
