CAN'T SETTLE LABOR
TROUBLES By FORCE:
Jewish Church Official Believes
Time Is Ripe for Compulsory
Arbitration
President Taft Says It Is State
Question-Don't Believe
. People Want It.
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Rev.
Pereira- Mendez Of New York, presi-
dent of the union of Orthodox Jewish
Congregations of the United States
and Canada, recently wrote to Presi-
dent Taft suggesting that the time
was ripe to commence agitation for
compulsory arbitration.
The American labor movement has
expressed itself as opposed to compul-
sorry arbitration, and it is not likely
that any change will take place to
modify it's views.
President Taft, in answer to the
letter of the reverend gentleman, is
reported to have replied: "Compulso-
ry arbitration in industrial contro-
versies is one which would have to be
dealt with primarily by the states
rather than the federal government.
The principal field in which federal
government could act would be- that
of controversies between railroads
and their employees, and a step has
already been taken there by provid-
ing a mechanism for voluntary ar
bitration.
1T is doubtful whether any prop
osition for compulsorya arlitration OF
these disputes would at this time
meet with sufficient favor to bring
such procedure within the realm Of
present possibilities"

I AM LABOR.
BY WALTER b. HILTON.

I am labor! And I raise my head
After ages of subjection: now I rise
Alive among the living. Mouldly dead
Are superstitions and all other ancient
lies.
I am labor! And my opened eyes
See that which was for centuries hid
for me.
I look: and 10! the fearsome size
OF things 1 feared down dwindles,
weak and wee.
I am Labor And I raise my song;
And as shout, kings hide behind the
queens I gowned!
And then, reverberating, long.
The echoes roll and roll and wrap
the earth in sound.
am Labor And I raise my hand,
The while my muscles play in new
found might 81
And in the majesty of power make
demand:

WITH ALL ITS. Lice AND
LIGHT!'' t.s. f.# S4 :&s-

PLAY BALL."
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

1t was. plainly the pitchers fault:
The ball seemed to- rebound into his
hands, as it came from the bat. Three
men were on bases, but for some I'M
accountable reason he stood in the
box with both hands over the ball,
while the crowd yelled He seemed
badly ratified. He was a professional,
too-said to be one of the best In
the league. While he, hesitated, the
man on third made the home plate,
and the player on second took his
place. Then he made a wild throw
to second to head off the chap who
was running from first, with the re-
suit that still another run was scored,
leaving only one man on the bases.
The whole thing was due to the pitch
er holding the ball. At least, that
was the principal reason for the bad
play.
The week following the ball game,
l saw man in a labor hall hold
the ball. not because he was ratified,
but because he wanted to ''stop the
game" Things were not going to
suit his fancy, so he deliberately
baked. That didn't help him or any
body else. 1t simply resulted in an
other setback for the cause of labor
In his city. Too often we meet just
his type. OF course, he isn't peculiar
to the ranks of labor, but he is there,
and that is why we are concerned
about the matter.
Sometimes he 'holds the ball" be-
cause of misunderstanding. And be-
cause. he cannot comprehend his op-
ponent he seeks to destroy him. He
should learn that it is far better to
seek to understand, and not to silence
his adversary, even when to silence
him is possible. If the one who op-
poses is right, he will win in the end,
anyway. And it surely is better to
lose gracefully and manfully, than to
be beaten out flat because of a stub
born refusal to study the other side
of the question.
Bold and sweeping statements come
more commonly from doubt and ig-
norance than from just conviction.
So look out for the fellow who claims
a monopoly Of wisdom. He is getting
ready to hold the ball.
In these discussions with regard to
the social questions of the day, most
OF us forget that we have not yet
mastered even the elementao of the
problems Of society. Theories have
been formed from the examination of
groups of isolated facts; but life is
complex. 1t is difficult-not to say
unfa1r-to rush to final conclusions.
Until the last fact has been presented,
We cannot afford to be dogmatic. In
the labor movement we must be OPP
portun1sts. There are so many factors
to be considered that no one man has
either the wisdom or the ability To
pose as the infallible one. It is going
to take the whole mine" to win the
game, so let's play ball."
