court has existed before, and for 20
years the state paid a liberal salary To-
the official arbitrator. When the state
discontinued this payment, II years
ago. the system lapsed. II has been
re-established under the sanction Of
the state, and is a part of the judicial
system
But appeals 10 this court OF honor
must be voluntary. That Is the diff

they could easily refer il to one OF

ion was current today that the gov

ing its arbitration proposal until after

a Washington dispatch says. IT
Is believed that when Great Britain

publishing a series OF articles on the
