are willing to talk with the conservative men. Strong organizations
OF labor axe generally able to compel their men to abide by their con-
tracts. When strikes occur they are due to misunderstanding, and can
be settled by frank and free discussion. The causes of some strikes are
the pe&y arrogance of the employer and unreasonable treatment OF
employees "#| .. h * ~
The standard of capital and labor is constantly changing, and there
is nc basis on which employers Q r employees can rest their demands. In
England they have conferences between employers and employees very
often, and if they cannot agree ! third person is called in.
The general trend seems to be toward bargaining: It is the most
advanced method, and likely to produce the best results. Recognition
of a committee Of employees is essential, but recognition of a committee
from a labor union is not. It IS always essential that the representatives
Of employees compel their companions to stand BY their agreement. When
all else fails then the dispute can be. settled By outside parties.

Labor Peace Lies in Arbitration
By w. H.. BALDWIN, dr.,
President OF the Long Island Railroad.

The number of persons affected by strikes
in the United States has been increased in the
last 20 years, and the labor organizations are
held responsible for this discord. Strikes are
impossible without some organization of labor,
and if strikes are to continue, labbor must be
highly organized. Strikes are more numerous
in trades that are organized than in trades that
are not organized, and there is no power that
can prevent such organization. When the
employer has tried to prevent such organiza-
ton, it has helped rather than retarded it.
Older organizations tend toward conser-
vatism, and as the unions become older strikes
grow less frequent. That is because employers

NEW ORLEANS La, July 0.-The arrival
OF the steamship Louisiana from Bremen
on Sunday, with 2,727 bales Of cotton, has
caused great deal of confusion in labor
ranks. No veSsel has ever arrived here
before from Europe with cotton aboard.
md serious problem arose among the
labor unions az TO which union was entitled
to unload the cotton from the Louisiana.
The longshoremen claimed the right on
the ground that they had a monopoly Of all

screwmen claimed control on the ground
thai, as they had loaded the cotton in the
Louisiana, they were entitled TO unload it
and asserted their right 10 a monopoly of
all handling of cotton as freight. II they

differences is looked for.
