n TOTHING that has transpired for
mi many years in our city's his
tory is so important as the
decision to arbitrate the COM
plex phases of social evolution.
The desire to do so indicates
that higher plane has been
reached; that equity seeks to become
counter-weight to justice, and that
there has at last taken form the recog-
milton that interdependence is the life
giving and life maintaining factor in
ideal civic we'll being, such as is
desirable as it is possible in our city
with its great potential future. We
are now converging toward the con-
ception of the city as an organic unity,
no longer a veritable purgatory of
slovenly and illogical compromises.
San Francisco must henceforth heal
her sores, not merely bandage them.
In connection with the present de-
cision some extracts from an interview
with the late Right Honorable r. j.
Seldom, Premier of New Zealand, and
quoted in a lecture delivered by a
kinsman-the well-known journalist,
Bruce Leffingwell-may afford conclu:
sive evidence that arbitration has been
found not only the harmonious solution,
but in fact the preventive of these
harassing confusions of industrial life.
AT the time the Arbitration
and Cancellation Act was passed there
was desperate opposition thereto on the
part OF capital. 1t was considered 10

immigrants Already Under Way.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.-At an important
meeting of the directors of the Geor-
gia immigration association, held in

under the recent decision of Commits

sioner of immigration for Georgia, in
pushing the work.
The recent decision of Commission

bearing was considered.
Governor elect Hoke Smith stated
that he had looked into the question
from a legal standpoint and gave it
as his opinion that the decision of
the department Of commerce and la
Dor was in accord with the law.
He said he considered that Mr.,
Hudson, as commissioner of immi-
grafton, had all the authority neces-
sary under this decision and the law
10 proceed actively in securing and
bringing into Georgia a desirable
class of immigrants on the RESPONSE
bility of the state.

to cooperate in its furtherance. He
said in substance thai he Believed the

u!ation in any community the great
