LABOR MEN HERE PLEASED
Say Outcome of British Strike
Will Help Arbitration.

The representatives OF labor organZa-
tons in this city yesterday looked on the
sudden ending Of the British railway strike,
which was talked over at various labor
headquarters. as a victory for arbitration.
The strike itself they regarded as in
ovitable because of the low wages paid
and the greater needs of the people as a
result of the spread of education. Ernest
Bohm. secretary Of the Central Federated
Union. said:
II think speak for the great bulk Of the
workers when | say that the principle of
arbitration will receive a great impetus by
the speedy settlement of this strike. The
general tendency Of the day is along the
lines Of arbitration, and / and union MEM
bers generally believe in arbitration of Ia
Dor disputes.
