Compulsory Hrbitratict
Hn TmpcssibiIity
BY FRANK X. FOSTER.

ept the decision of arbitrator, bun to compel them to agree to arbitrate,
and to back up this compulsion with the mailed hand Of the power of the
government is to viiate the most priced product of civilEahon-indivd
ual freedom.
In issues arising between the public interest and holders Of private
property the state may properly enforce a species of compulsory arbitra-
tons, as it does through booming boards, commissions, etc, upon the
ground that the general welfare justifes the exercise of the right Of emil
nent domain. The basic contention of the advocates of compulsory arbi-
tration in industrial affairs is assumed to be a like principle, j. e., that
the interest Of the public is a paramount interest and may be conserved
by forcing the conflicting parties to submit TO compulsory arbitration.
But in industrial disputes something more is involved than property
rights II public convenience, however indisputaby valuable these may be.
Labor is something more than a commodity. 1t has always attached to it
a human being, and to attempt to compel the deliverance of the labor
commodity under such conditions as courts of arbitration may prescribe
is TO attempt to do something which the constitution of the United States
fobids and which the spirit of the free labor of America would rise
against in universal revolt.
All over the land organized labor is protesting against the abuse Of
the powers of the equity courts exercised against the functions of trades
unionism through the injunction process. This abuse has come from
the fact that the courts are decreeing that the laws governing property
rights may be applied to cases involving individual rights. Is it then tc
be wondered at that the trades unionsts of America oppose compulsory
arbitration, which would supplement the injunction process with manda
tory boards which would be vested with power to yet further limit thu
scope of free associated effort?
Compulsory arbitration must ca ry with it power to enforce the de
crees of the arbitrator. VIII any of its advocates explain how, if a decre
should be rendered awarding judgment of longer hours OF lower wage
against workmen such a decree could be enforced without r~eestabishinl

H ANGEL CHILD.

A certain fond mother was Mortified
not long ago when a parrot-fully
guaranteed by the dealer from whom
1t was purchased to be free of any
such knowledge-began to swear Wig
orously in the presence of several call
ers and her young son.
The birds vocabulary increased to
a remarkable extent, both in amount
and force, within the next week or so,
and the lady had come to the conclu-
sion that for the sake of her sons
morals she must get rid of it, although
it afforded the entire household no
little amusement in it's more polite mo-
ments, when one day she quietly en-
tered the room where the cage hung.
Perched upon a chair was Johnny, and
there was being executed an astonish-
ing duet of profanity.
"Oh, Johnny, are you teaching Poll
to swear?" the mother gasped.
For an instant only Johnny was
panic-stricken, and then assumed an
expression of sanity patience.
mo, no., mother he asserted in a
hurt tone. Il was just tellin' it all
the awful things it mustn't say"
Mammals darling boy!" she ex.
claimed, and gathered him into her
arms.-N. Y. Times.

PREVENTING Suicide.

We commend to the Salvation Army
a method successfully used on would
be suicides for some years In Boston
by a citizen who has won a reputation
as a confidant of un~fortunates. weak
lings and genteel paupers, says Boston
Herald. When 1t is announced that a
case" is ready to tie the moose, or
jerk the trigger, or take the plunge,
or sip the dose, this mans face lights
up with curious interest. when are
you going to do it?' he asks. IF you
really to keep faith, I want to
be there. / desire to see you do the
first sensible act of your life" The
intended suicide, who expected to be
pleaded with and Saved" is hurt in
his pride and decides not to tie, jerk,
take or sip, but to live ON and prove
that there are those who love him,
her, 1t. Nothing so palsies the hand
OF self-destruction as a sudden and
unforeseen collapse of opposition, OBJ
stacle and grief. Suicide Is the apex
of conceit. The victim has a vast pity
for himself. Get his dander up, and
he's saved" II may be he will con-
tinue to be a proud pauper, but at
least he has obviated a muss and a
funeral. Approach all Nanki Poos in
the spirit of Koko and there will be
no cali for the snickersnee or the
c~lothes-line.

Cost OF Improving q Railroad.
To duplicate the track of a large
American road would involve an *
penditure WHOSE resulting yearly
charges would be very far from being
met by the added revenue for a long
time to come. AS a matter of fact,
most OF the railroads are, therefore,

Wolcott Drew in Moody's Magazine.

The phrase ''compul-
sorry arbitration is of it
self a misnomer. The
very essence of arbitra-
ton, especially as applied
to industrial affairs, is
contained in the volun-
tary principle. Man may
and do voluntarily agree
to arbitrate and to ac-
