THE DIES MONIES SETTLEMENT.

The arbitrators in the settlement 81
! the controversy between the car mems
| union and the street car company have
decided that Conductor Hiatt ana
, Motorman Roberts violated the rules
of the company while on duty and that
the company is justified in discharg ms
them; that Conductor Bruce shall be re-
instated and paid wages for the en-
ing no conclusive corroboration IT the
company's charges against him. Hiatt
was charged with failure to ring UP
fares and Roberts with smoking while
on duty. Both parties to ,he case agreed
to abode the decision of the arbitrators
and this decision ought TO settle it.
1t is immaterial who won. 1t is to be
assumed that the case was fairly neard
for both appellants. for street car en-
had one arbitrator, the company an
other and the third was secured after
the most careful consideration and ac-
copied by both. 1t is to the interest Of
both parties to accept the ruling and
findings Of the arbitration court. IT
either refuses it Will cut its own throat
with the public and the public is a
main factor to be considered IN con-
troversies between men and employers
who conduct public utilities Further
more the public has signifed its in
tention to assume its factorship il
these cases and to insist on considera-
ton of it's right as an intervenor. The
best thing the company and men can
do is 70 accept the decision and work
to better understanding between
themselves and between the pubic and
themselves.
If the arbitration court shall be per-
mitted to settle the controversy Des
Moines has avoided a disastrous ir-
terregnum Of her business and CON-
fort If there is in evidence any dispo-
sition on the part of the contestants TO
carry the case to the arbitramens Of
starvation and violence it should meet
a united public condemnation and the
promise of public activity and inter-
ference. And the Des Moines case
should be accepted everywhere by en-
ployes and employers and the public
which suffers with them thru strikes
and lockouts as a precedent establish
ing the fact that an honest and peace
full settlement of labor difficulties is
possible and to be denied only upon
ference and intervention

panic. Cnderbuying Is alleged to be
largely hlamahle for the sluegishness
OF business and the common COM

present hand to mouth process Is
largely responsible for short profits
While business is Of large volume the
extreme caution which has induced
manufacturers to buy material IN
small lots and merely up to the days
demand and has kept the merchant
buying in short lots for immediate
need has naturally cut profits and that
the present discomfort IS not ove- the
amount Of business transacted but
mainly over shorter profits. It is also
noted that more Indebtedness is being
nquidated and fewer debts contracted
The conclusion is that when the bust

that unsatisfactory conditions will

IN IOWA AND MISSOURI.


Missouri democrats are catching an
idea from Iowa republicans, or Mis-
souri, democrats and Iowa republicans
have gotten the same idea at about
the same time: for It is proposed in
Missouri also to hold a presidential
primary Its purpose Is to determine
the rival claims Of Speaker Clark and
former-Governor Folk to the delega-
tion for that state to the democratic
national convention. The challenge in
Missouri has come from the Folk side
as IN Iowa II came from the Taft side.
and in Missouri the challcnee has been
accepted from the Clark side, as in
iowa II has been accounted from the
raFol'ette side The difference is that
IN Missouri the Folk side. after issuing
the challenge. are standing by II.
While IN Iowa this Taft side after is
suing the challenge and ha~,ns It ac-
cepted, are doing their very hest TO
aek out Of it. Comparis rs which #
would be odious to draw naturally

democracy Of Missouri and the Taft
repuhlican!srn Of Iowa. Put things are
moving on in Missouri. The date
agreed upon is Dec 9 and the demo.
cratic state committee Is shortly to
meet to make the arrangements. In
Missouri. as in Iowa the familiar OBJ

mary is heard; hut this objection is
