port smelter, says: THE smelter is
running four furnaces and the remain
ing two are being overhauled to per-
NIT of automatic feeding from tram
cars. The automatic feed is being put
in all of the stacks. There are about
$4,000 tons Of ore on the dumps at the
smelter. The plant is running about
$40 ton sa day. Coke is coming in
freely. The stopping of shipments
from the Kootenay and the lie Roi No
is not likely to affect the run of the
smelter, as altogether they were pro-
viding only about 80 tons day, or
not half enough to keep one furnace
going"
Advices from Republic say that the
Mountain Lion has cleaned up the
dump at the mine and shipments are
being made now from the ore which
was held in the slopes.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION URGED.
State Board Of Mediation's Report-Public
Investigation of Disputes.

Albany, March 27--The sixteenth annual report OF
the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration made
public tonight by Labor Commissioner McMackin
disapproves OF compulsory Incorporation or lapor
unions but advocates compulsory arbitration as a
condition of the granting of public service fran
chises.
The board announces its determination hereafter
in cases where the mediation Of the board is de-
clined, after the exhaustion of all other methods
to reach a settlement to make public investiga-
ton OF disputes. The board believes that the essen
tial facts in a dispute can be brought to light In
a public investigation and that the publication OF
the facts will enable public opinion TO crystalline
and practically force settlement and It calls at
tention the opinion expressed by the Coal Strike
Commission that such public investigation might
have averted the recent coal famine.
The report contains particulars Of 142 industrial
disputes involving S62 establishments and 38,013 en-
ployes and the loss Of $50 SSt days. 1t adds:
Nearly one-half (sixty) Of the disputes were oc
cHsioned by, demands for increased wages, and OF
these twenty-five were entirely successful four
teen partially successful and twenty.one unsuccess-
rnent for higher wages only $500 were entirely un
successful. Twenty-Five disputes turned the
question OF the hours Of work; the workmen were
successful in eleven cases, partially successful in
eight and unsuccessful in six. Trade unfOnism
the leading factor In twenty -one disputes.
There were two sympat thetic strikes one of them
involving $500 electrical workers in schenectady.

General Greene does not agree with Colonel Dunn,

it would be good politics to the three platoon

yesterday. how It would be good politics for the
Republicans to accept proposition put forward in
the Senate at Albany and advocate by Senator
Grady. the Tammany leader. / believe the pres
system of patrol is fair the city and fair
the we'll II changes be made which
will not diminish the present amount Of reserve
