uneniightened methods of the past, which
still, unfortunately, prevail.
Spirit of the Age.
ANY endeavor in this direction is in
consonance with the spirit of the age
The recent arbitration conference in New
York, the establishment of the peace
tribunal at The Hague and the universal
feeling that war is not only wicked but
| unnecessary-al these things indicate the
growing sentiment in favor of the peace
full settlement of all disputes
The appreciation of the value of indus
trial arbitration is also widely extending.
In this country 1t has not reached the high
degree of realization which is to be found
| in Great Britain, Switzerland, and especial
ly Australia. Any who will take the
trouble to read the reports made to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor will, how
ever, speedily come to the conclusion that
the wisdom of settling labor troubles
through the exercise of moderation and in
telligence is appealing more and more to
the nations of the world. There has been
a suggestion in this country of a national
board of arbitration, to consist of the Secre-
tary of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, with five other members appointed
by the President, whose meetings should be
held in Washington. When this PROPOSE
ton was before Congress 1t was asserted
that the strikes in the United States from
1881 to 1900 cost, in round numbers, $780,
100000. I do not intend, however to en-
ter upon this broad and inviting field of
national arbitration, interesting as 1t would
be to discuss the matter from that stand
point. We are concerned more particularly
with our own city, and the question arises
whether or not it is practicable to estab-
fish in Washington a court or tribunals for
the settlement of labor difficulties which so
frequently beset us.
No Compulsory Arbitration.
1T must be understood, Of course that
compulsory arbitration is not contemplated.
There can be no such thing as compul-
sorry arbitration under our Constitution.
There is no compulsory arbitration in New
Zealand, where the settlement of labor
troubles in an orderly and digniied fashion
has reached its highest development. If
any employers or employees in any occu-
patton or industry in that country desire
to ignore the provisions of the law and set
tie their differences In the old manner, they
are at liberty to do so. We might hope in
time, however, to create public sentiment
which would practically compel every dis
pute to be referred to the tribunal of arbi-
practical
Hope Of Realization.
THE hope of speedy realization of an
ideal condition might be entertained were
it not for the fact that there is a most
essential point of difference between the
situation in New Zealand and the District
of Columbia. In New Zealand the labor
unions are compelled to inc orporate with

fish of all sizes lie in wait for the
train and can be easily seen.
A few days ago an irrepressible
fisherman prepared his hook and line,
and as the train slowly numbered
over the long trestle, swung it far out
over the water. This the fish mis-
took for their customary meal, and a
carp, three feet long, seized
the bait and was drawn aboard the
Pullman. With this beginning the
sport has grown to such an extent
that the passenger trains are now SUP.

STATE OF SIEGE AFTER MUTlNY.
V'adivostok Affair Worse Than Repre-.
scented in First Reports.

Vladivostok, Nov. 1.-The mutiny
and subsequent bqpbarding of the city
by the crew of a torpedo boat Wednes-
day resulted Thursday in a state Of
siege being declared here. The affair
is more serious than earlier reports
indicated.
Early in the day there was dis
turbance on the Skory. A little later
its anchor was hoisted aboard, a red
flag run to the masthead and the tor
pedo boat steamed into the harbor.
Without warning it opened fire on the
town and forts.
Before any one realized what had
occurred shells were exploding in the
streets and torpedoes bursting under
the forts. Several persons were killed
in the streets.
A gunboat and destroyers followed
the Skory into the harbor. BY this
time the artillery in the forts had op-
ened on the torpedo boat The other
boats also attacked it with every
gun they could bring to bear. The
fight lasted until the Skory was bat
tered and helpless and most of it's
mutinous crew killed or wounded.
Before it was rendered helpless the
Skory inflicted considerable damage
on the other warships as we'll as on
the town and forts.
Those of the mutineers on the tor
pedo boat who escaped the deluge of
shells leaped overheard and swan
ashore, where soldiers were waiting
to capture them.
Among the men killed were Capt.
Kurosch, commander of the torpedo
boat Smelly, and Lieut. Stoer, com
mander of the Skory; Lieut.. Vassil-
ief, commanding the Serditz, was
wounded.

HOUNDS PUT
IN 4 TRAIL
Dogs Now Being Used for
Tracking Kidnappers of
Lamana Boy.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, June 20.-Three of
the best bloodhounds in the state. fol
lowed by twenty-five armed men, are
today threading their way through
the swamps near ST. Rose, La, on a
trail which it is hoped will lead to
the capture of Walter Lamana's kid
nappers.
The dogs were taken to st. Rose
yesterday from the capital and a
handkerchief from the pocket OF an
Italian whom the police suspect of
completely in the kidnapping was
held to their noses. The dogs then
scented for few minutes about the
Italians house, after which they
dashed, yelping, straight for the
swamps of ST. Charles parish, one of
the most perfect hiding places in the
state.
The search stopped when miles
had been covered, but at daylight to-
day il was resumed.
The blood hounds continued on the
trail of the supposed kidnappers west
of st. Rose today, but at dark were
still on the scent, and the hunt was
discontinued until tomorrow.

y New Orleans, June 2O.-Philip Wer
r1ein, chairman of the committee in
charge of arrangements for the
Worlds Panama Exposition confer
ence, TO be held in New Orleans June
q, %, and %, is doing everything
possible to secure the attendance OF
representative delegates from all sec
lions of the south. Mississippi Valley
and west, and is giving the widest
possible publicity to the objects and
aims of the coming meeting He has
assurance that the editors are as
deeply interested as anybody In
launching the exposition movement on
the broadcast and best plan.
Secretary TreZevant announces re-
ports of the appointment of delegates
by nearly one hundred cities and
towns to attend the preliminary con-
ference on June 81 to %. and Chair
man Werlein is insistent in his re-
quest that every section of the south
ern, Mississippi Valley and western
states send representative delegations
Ior the permanent plans of the expo
sition company are to be predicated
20 very large extinct upon the views
pat the conference and on the resolu-
lions adopted by the delegates.
The conference will be held in the
assembly hall of the New Orleans
Progressive Union. After the bust
o. ness sessions shall have been COM
pleted, some more or less elaborate
programmes of entertainment will be
carried out. the idea being to make
the stay of the visitors as pleasant
as possible. With this idea in view.
a special entertainment fund has been
raised, and a One-fare rate for adults
and half rate for children has been
secured from all railroads leading to
New Orleans.
In line with the broad plans of the
committee, request was made for the
low rate to apply to any one who de-
sired to come to New Orleans on the
dates mentioned. the idea being to at
tract to the conference representative
individuals as well as duly appointed
delegates. Already number of let
tiers have been received from repre-
sentative citizens, who have not been
appointed as delegates. but who in
tend to take part in the conference
any way.
AS soon as practicable after the
conference, the huge work OF organ
1Zlng the exposition, which is to be
held in New Orleans in 1915 or 1916.
In celebration of the completion of the
Panama canal, will be started. The
committee anticipates several years
OF the hardest sort of labor before the
work OF preparing the several square
miles that will compose the exposition
site can be started. Therefore, the
committee has reached the wise con-
clusion that not a day Is to be lost.
Inc unfortunate experience of other
exposiuons which have had to open
with many buildings and exhibits I'M
completed, Is not to be repeated. and
time is being taken by the forelock
