They pay taxes. They're certainly as

They're as intelligent as men. Some
OF the o beautiful things in the

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Medium by Which Australasia Solved
the Labor Problems.

That inquiry through state ilarllii-
cry is the remedy for strikes and lock
outs in the United States Is the opinion
cisco, who recently returned from an
eighteen months study Of labor conui-
lions in Europe. Australasia and the
orient. Colonel Weinstock was special
ly commissioned by Governor Gillett
Of California to investigate labor laws
in the different industrial countries.
"There are three methods which ma
be used in h solution tli2se prob
lems," said Colonel We. tek. Tile
first is voluntary arbitration. which has
practically failed the world over; the
second COMPULSORY arbitration. which
has succeeded in Australasia. but
would not tit into conditions; the
third public inquiry through state ma
chinery. The latter is the nearest TO
state Intervention that our laws will
permit and to me is the solution of our
troubles and disputes.
In my investigations l have found
that the European industrial countries
are very much in the condition we are
In. They are out with searchlights
trying to find Il remedy for the increas-
ing strikes and lockouts.
Australia and New Zealand more
nearly than any other country that l
visited have solved the problem. They
have solved it there by compulsory
arbitration, and during the last IF
teen years. the time in which their
laws have been in operation. while
they have not enjoyed the degree Of
industrial peace that the early pro-
moters of the law had hoped for, ow-
Ing to improper administration. they
have nevertheless enjoyed industrial
peace more than any other industrial
country in the world.
But I have reached the conclusion
that compulsory arbitration as it is
carried out in Australasia would not
fit into our conditions, for the reason
that It is not constitutional in the
United States for a state to fix a wage
In private undertakings. whereas in
Australia that a be and is done-the
state fixes a minimum wage for every
industry that comes In under the law.
II have reached the conclusion as
the result Of my Investigations hat
the time is imperative for state inter-
veution, more especially In connection
with labor troubles relating to public
utilities, In which the public has far
more at stake than either the employ
ers or wage earners.
Therefore in the interest Of the pub
lie the state ought to take a hand in
the adjustment of such labor disputes
by a system OF public inquiry which
would have in mind the bringing to-
gether Of both parties before a strike
or lockout is declared in the hope Of
an agreement being reached. This
thing has been aimed at by many states
and many European industrial coun-
tries. but has failed. because the COM
ing together for Cancellation has been
made under the law voluntary. The
remedy lies in making the getting to-
gefher compulsory"
