TRADES union CONGRESS
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION DIS
CUSSED BY BRITISH TOILERS.
Resolution Rejected Because the Plan
Would Deprive Labor of Many Of
It's Advantages.

LONDON, Sept. AT ro-day's session of
the Trades Union Congress there was a
very heated discussion of a compulsory
arbitration resolution introduced by the
Dock, Wharf and Riverside Union. The res
olution follows:
I'm view of the colossal growth Of trusts
and combines of speculative capitalists and
consequent concentration OF capital and
monopoly Of industry, this congress fore
toilers Of dislocation Of trade stoppage OF
work and distress of wage earners. To avert
such calamity this congress calls upon the
legislature to pass an act creating SUI
preme court of arbitration. The court to
be presided over by lord justice and to
be constituted by an equal number of work.
mems and employers representatives who
grieved. Legal experts to be in all cases de-
barred from acting as representatives. The
power Of the court to be compulsory. Con-
Citation courts for the various Industrial
centers to be formed to act In conjunction
with the supreme court and to be termed
district courts. In all cases workmen's rep
resentatives to be selected by trades unions
as commissioners or members of the SUI
preme court. For the effective dealing with
dispute commissioners to be constituted for
the great staple trades, viz: Mining. tex
tile, transport, engineering and agriculture,
with a crown judge over each. The courts
failing 70 settle disputes, cases are to be
submitted to the supreme court. Only unions
registered unQeT the tTdOeS union act ana
firms covered by registration under an act
identical with the trades union act to be
eligible for consideration of courts or SUI
preme court of arbitration. We therefore
instruct the parliamentary committee to
draft a bill for the purpose aforesaid"
Many of the delegates opposed the resolu-
ton on the ground that under such a sys-
TEN the trades unions would not only lose
many of the advantages they had wrung
from the employers. but would die of in
antion since the need for their services
would no longer exist. The resolution
eventually was rejected by SCI. 900 to 3OS, 900

$3.50 yards, which latter range was the
accurate range or the vessel as she round

"All batteries were ordered TO fire at
leading vessel Kearsarge as soon as she
rounded the point and TO continue flring

first or leading ship Kearsarge was de-
clared out of action; the second, Massa-

assistant fire commander was on duty at
the time, and stood at the battery CON-
manders communications with table of
points in hand to change the target as each
ship was clearly shown to have received
more than the required 1000 points. The
ships were inside the first zone for mortars

had been foreseen and provided for, but no
landing was attempted and all the vessels

turning the fire on all of the vessels, thus
more than doubly insuring their being put
out of action.

moderate. The total number of shots fired

CONDITION OF THE BROOKLYN.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Darling has received the
following telegram from Rear Admiral ].
B. Coghlan, second in command on the
North Atlantic station, giving a report Of
the accident which befell his flagship,
the cruiser Brooklyn, in Buzzard's bay yes
terday:
while withdrawing from a maneuver
attack here to-day the Brooklyn struck
and ran over an unchartad obstruction.
Examination of the ship showed that about
six frames under ASS and A93 are bent
inward, the inner bottom plates bulged,
and this compartment making some wa

frames bent inward from six inches at

island. and II he admiral Higginsonl cam
not be found, will go to Tompkinsville for
orders"
Orders were sent forward to the Brooklyn
to- proceed to the New York navy yard
where the extent of the damage could be
ascertained definitely. Without a better
defined idea of the character of the injuries
naval officials were not prepared to give
Brooklyn must be laid up, or of the cost
of repairs, but Ii was thought that she
would be in dock anywhere from three
weeks to two months and that the cost of
the accident probably would total upward
of $50 900.
The bay in which the Brooklyn struck
was charted, not by the naval photographic
office. but by the coast and geodetic survey.
The Brooklyn was the largest vessel which
had entered BuzZards bay in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant, and it was realized
that an element of risk attended her APP
pearance in that locality. But naval officers
point out that the maneuvers are intended
to simulate. actual war conditions and
produce beneficial results in the way Of
valuable information to the army and navy
and the appearance of a vessel like the
Brooklyn might well be necessary in war
time.
The big cruiser already had an unenvi-
able record for striking snags. While the
North Atlantic squadron was lying off
Cuba she struck a rock near Guantanamo
when hardly out of her builders hands she
struck in the Delaware river and punched
a big hole in her bottom and once again in
the East river the vessel encountered an
unlooked-for obstruction. Her accident
yesterday is the fourth one in the memory
of naval officials.
NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Sept 4.-The
cruiser Brooklyn, which struck a rock in
Buzzards bay yesterday, left to-day under
her own steam. The extent OF the damage
sustained by the vessel, If any, is not
known here.

Tobacco Tax Rebate Claims.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Commissioner
Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
has made arrangements to take up at once
the claims that are being filed for rebate
of the tax on tobacco, cigars and snuff, as
provided under the revenue reduction act
passed at the last session of Congress.
BY that act 81, 100000 was appropriated to
pay the difference between the old and
new rates, but from present indications
Mr. Yerkes is of the opinion that this sum
will be insufficient for the purpose. Con-
gress, however, will make the necessary in
crease in the urgency deficiency bill to be
passed early in the December session. 1t
is roughly estimated that before the whole
matter is finally disposed of about 5000
claims will have been filed. Mr.. Yerkes
to-day has selected about twenty clerks
from the eligible lists of the Civil-service
Commission for temporary duty in connec-
ton with the payment Of these rebates.

Chance for Those Who Speak Spanish.

WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-American man
ufacturers are overlooking certain iniis-
pensable requirements for the capture and
retention of the cotton goods trade in
Cuba, according to a report from Minister
Squiers at Havana, dated Aug. II, which
was made public at the State Department
to-day. The minister declares that the
American houses should send Spanish
speaking representatives TO Cuba to work
up their trade, instead of relying on the
export commission houses in New York 10
engage business for them there. He also
points out a number of details lii the. pack
ing and invoicing of goods destined Cor
Cuba which are not taken into account in
the United States. The British, says the
minister, already have the larger part of
the Cuban cotton goods trade. with the
United States and Spain Close rivals for
second place.
