ARBITRATION IN
LABOR DISPUTES

The probability that the threaten
ed locomotive engineers strike will
be settled by mediation, and the fact
that a similar trouble in 1910 was
thus adjusted through the Erdman
act, gives new hope to arbitration as
a means of stopping industrial war.
With the hopeful promise of the
arbitration movement about a dozen
years ago, industrial disarmament
seemed at hand The National Civ
ic Federation held enthusiastic din
ners. The millennium seemed very
near, as the Roman punch circulated
and the skillfully seasoned terrapin
was consumed.
Then came the failure Of the fedora
ton to settle the coal strike, failure
of arbitration in the Philadelphia
general strike, the failure to settle
the shirt waist makers strikes in that
way.
The reports of state arbitration
boards make jobs for the state print
ers, but their achievement is not
large.
Now look at strikes as a part of
the cost of living. The Pullman strike
of 1894 is figured to have cost the
country $4,000, 900. The coal strike
of 1902 cost the railroads SAT 100000
in loss of freight alone, a small item
in the general loss. The French gen
eral strike of 1909 cost that eoun-
try s55 900, 900, not to speak of the
general discomfort and paralysis to
business.
Compulsory arbitration is contrary
to many pre-conceived theories and
established traditions. theoretically
an individual and corporation has
a right to hire whom it pleases, and
theoretically workman has the
right to quit work at any time
But suppose every railroad from
New Orleans and St. Paul to the
Aroostook in Main were tied up by
a general strike for some weeks. The
losses 20 the innocent public would
run into the hundreds of millions.

DEP RTMENT EN-.
CAMP ENT c. A. R.

At the Regular Meeting of Wood
County Post %, G.. A R. held on
the 9th Ult., the Post unanimously
instructed it's delegates to the next
Department Encampment, which is to
be held at Amigo, Wis, June II, u,
10 and IA, to use their best endeav=
Ors to secure the next annual Depart
ment Encampment to be held in this
city
And also instructed all of it's past
Post Commanders to attend with the
delegates at Amigo, and assist them
in that behalf 1t is. quite probable
that the Encampment will be secur-
ed as Grand Rapids has received ia
vorable mention at several previous
Encampments.
If secured it will bring about one
thousand people who pay their own
way, besides giving the town much
of interest of a patriotic, education

The Reporter has been requested
by several of the firemen to ask the
people generally to let the firemen
do the fighting and conduct the at
tack on the fire. When help is need
ed the firemen win ask for it, The
reason for this request will be appar-
ent when it is known that the pres
ence of the west side fire company
was not needed Friday at the
fire ON the east side. The east side
company had three lines of hose
laid and were doing all that could
be done to put out the fire. Some
one became excited and turned in a
second alarm which brought the west
side company over. The firemen would
ask the public to let the firemen send
for the other company when it is ne
eessary and not have them called out
when they are not needed. The fire
companies on both sides report at
their respective fire halls when an
alarm is turned in and whichever
one does not respond to the alarm
laccordiug to the location of the fire.
