Its place as an inquisitor is taken

just NTH wheel OF coach.
The coroner's Office is one of our
oldest English institutions. II was
originated In the reign OF King Al.
fred. when the system Of judiciary ex-
tended down to courts for shires and
courts for hundreds. There was even
government by tens. When a
violent death occurred, the men Of
the victims "ten' were called upon
to Judge as TO whether there was foul
play. and who was the guilty party.
BY this system. high-class men were
put on the juries, and the findings
usually pointed to successful prose
cution in the criminal courts. There
was no picking up OF coroner's court
hangerson, as seems to have been
the case in the Gibson inquest.
In early Detroit history and In
the rural counties today, the coroner'e
inquest amounts to something, be.
cause II gives the. sheriff and prose-
cutor something TO work on. There
IL a wider range Of questioning allow
ed than In a regular court, and 30
while the finding 10 not conclusive,
there In something found 70 work on.

He Is the only county officer who has
the power to do this. But II Ia not

Office for that purpose"

Neill Says Mediation
Will Do Away With Strikes

WASHINGTON, May 1.--Phophecy
that the time is not far distant when
strikes will be an exception and
mediation the rule In labor disputes,
Is voiced in q May Day statement
prepared for the United Press, by DR..
Charles p. Neill. United States CON-
missioner of labor. Az one OF tho
mediators authorized under the Erd-
man law, DR.. Neill has served In
more than nifty important disputes
between employers and employees.
His statement follows. .4
Copyrighted by United Prsss.)
by DIR. CHARLES p. NELL.
United States Commissioner Of Labor.
Thirteen years ago the federal con-
gress awoke to the fact that strike
was the most unfortunate way to set
tie a labor dispute, so IL did what "
could to provide a remedy. II passed
an act providing means OF media.
ton and arbitration In al industrial
controversies arising between inter
state railways and employees engaged
In train operation.
The act was In advance OF its time.
Inc HIbt dttcmPt W upc 49, ~
visions, shortly after Its passage,
failed. Since that time, there has
been a steady growth In the conyic.
ton that the mere resort TO test OF
strength embodied In q strike or q
lockout, was about the least satisfac'
tory, IL not the most barbarous way
that could be devised for adjusting u
labor controversy.
The law has since been SUCCESSFUL
ly used IN over fifty cases, and the
experiences of the past 1--WE years un-
der this act suggest that the time Ii
ripe for q considerable extension Of
its principles, TO embrace all fields Of
labor; and to arrange for mediation
and Cancellation In all indnstrial dis
putes, or for voluntary arbitration
where the former two are not sue
cessful.
Il is useless to close our eyes to
the fact that questions will always
arise upon which no agreement Is
possible. and In which nnal settle
ment can. come In test OF brute
strength.
But while II Is futile to expect the
entire elimination Of strikes In any
immediate future, they can be SO
minimized as to become the rare ex-
ception. Mediation II the method,
and believe the present trend OF
both labor and capital Is In that d.
