State legislation requiring corpora
tons to submit to arbitration all in
dustrial disputes with their employees,
where the employees wish it, under
penalty of forfeiture Of charters in
case of refusal. was advocated by
Judge Murray f. Tuley in an address
before the Illinois State Bar Associa-
ton in Chicago. 1t is not compulsory
arbitration between man and man that
Judge Tuley desires, and against that
he protests, but as far as corporations
are concerned he regards them as
creatures of the state who may be re-
CURED to go at least half way in an
arbitration for the benefit Of the COM
munity AS for the laboring men
and the unions the judge believes that
they will always be ready to do their
share in arbitration but in case they
ever do not. he makes the suggestion
that they will be compelled to incor-
porate. and so BECOME themselves
amenable to law.
