ARBITRATION.
IDnbuaue Times.l

Arbitration is useful when the mat
ter in dispute is wages. 1t is compar-
atively easy to decide the question of
whether the employer can afford to
to pay better wages. When he submits
this question to arbitration he valves
the competitive tests and leaves the
arbitrator to decide whether the traf-
fic will bear an advance in wages and
what advance can be granted without
restricting the demand for his goods by
raising the price he will have to charge
to make Il reasonable profit.
But when questions of principle are
submitted to arbitration the decision
must CRATE on the prejudices OF one
side or the other The decree that he
must exclude non-union men from his
service merely because they are nom
union men is extremely distasteful 20
the employer outside of the industries
in which this principle has been estab-
lished On the other hand, when the
arbitrator decide that employment
need not be limited to union men the
labor leaders feel that the employer has
been licensed to ignore them. They
cannot see how any loyal union man
among the arbitrators could give his
assent to what they call refusal to re-
cognize the union" When a contro-
versy involving this point is submitted
to arbitration the decision upon it is
rarely or never accepted in good faith
by the beaten party. He feels that
there can be no settlement of the ques-
ton until it is settled right and he Of
fers protest in the hope that this viii
contribute to a just settlement event

investigations, are alike inadequate TIC

question of the present day, this ques-
ton of recognition, because they can
compose the prejudices which conflict
at this point no more than speech al
Boston or Charleston can eXterminate
prejudice on the race question.

THE DEVIL WAGONS.

The crazy sport of automobile road
racing has received a serious and time
d. check by the sensible action of those
Eropean governments that have
ordered the discontinuance OF
such contests. The sport is too
dangerous and at its best
only sport. So far as The development
Df the automobile is concerned no good
San come of legion OF half-crazed
ehaffeurs driving devil wagons along
public highways 34S miles in eight
hours and a few odd minutes, leaving
behind them a trail marked with dead
end dying. Were casualties confined
alone to the lunatics engaged In the
sport legal interference would still be
necessary With the pubic taken into
consideration, something the driver of
a devil wagon fails to consider, the abo-
aition of these dangerous contests is i'm
Ierative.
One of the contestants in the great
race drove car weighing 1000 pounds
and of seventy horse power. he made
an average of sixty-twG miles per hour
outside the cities where he was obliged
to slow down. Another machine weighed
$50 pounds and was urged by thirty
horse power. Launched along public
highways. at such appalling speed the
wonder is not that so many were killed
but that so many escaped. In their
pace insanity on c6atfeur drove
into tree and another into a ditch to
their own destruction. Innocent spec
tators were killed. On the same day
that this wholesale slaughter was in
progress on the continent four people
s,were killed. Contests Of the French
character should be frowned upon in
stead of encouraged by the manufac-
furers. Their efforts should be centered
on the development of road machine
T OF limited speed capacity and compare
! tively low cost The devil wagon lacks
rsutility. What is needed is a horseless
wagon for business purposes, not rae
ing machine. Road races of the nature
OF the one just abandoned will never be
popular or even permitted in this coun-
try where the public owns the highways
and stands pat upon its ownership. If
the pace lunacy continues the horse
power and speed capacity of autos
should be regulated by law and no road
machine be manufactured capable of
greater speed than possibly eighteen
miles per hour.

Statistical figures from the United
States treasury bureau Of statistics are
optimistic on American trade with
Russia, Austria Hungary and Germany,
three countries which have been men,
toned as likely to show a decrease of
importations from the United States.
The bureaus statistics On the contrary
show steady growth in The trade rela-
tons with all these countries and indi-
cate that our commerce with each of
them is likely TO be larger in the pres
year in the history of our commerce.
This is true both of tie imports and
exports. To each of these three coun-
tries our exports are steadily and rap
idly increasing, and frorn each of them
our imports are also steadily and rap
idly increasing.
This is especially marked In the fig
ures of our trade relations with Russia
in the present fiscal year. The latest
figures OF the bureau of statistics are
for the nine months ending with March.
They show that our exports to Russia in
that period were nearly double those of
the corresponding period In any year of
the last decade, and that our imports
from Russia are also steadily and rap
Idly increasing, being double those of
1899 and three times those of 1894 In
both imports and exports the figures OF
our trade with Russia in the nine
months ending with March are about
three times as large as in the same
months of 1894. In exports the increase
has been especially marked in the past
year, our total exports In the nine
months ending with March, 1903, being
s13,5S4,S75. against s7,441,O14 in the
same months of last year. In imports
from Russia the figures of the present
year also show a marked increase over
last year, and it is quite apparent that
our imports from Russia in the present
\ fiscal year will be the largest in
the history of our commerce with that
country.
In the case Of Austria- Hungary the
growth is in both imports and exports
Our imports from Austria Hungary in
the nine months ending with March
were larger than in any corresponding
period of our commerce with that coun-
try, and double those of the same period
in 1895, 1898 and 1899 Cur own figures
OF our commerce with Austria Hungary
show imports from that country much
larger than exports to it, and this has
been the case in our entire record of
commerce with that country; tho the
fact that the official reports of Austria
Hungary show much larger imports of
products of the United States than our
own figures of exports 10 1t indicates
that considerable quantities of mer-
chandise reported to our custom houses
as exports to other countries ultimately
reach Austria Hungary.
In our commerce with Germany the
record of the nine months ending with
March shows larger irlQorts and ex-
