ARBITRATION CONTRACTS.
Value of Each Agreement Is Great to
Employer and Employee.

Value of Each Agreement Is Great TO
Employer and Employee.
When a contract is made between a
labor union and an employer by the
terms Of which each party agrees that
there shall be no strikes or lockouts
take place In that factory during the
stated term but that all disputes that
cannot be mutually adjusted shall be
referred to a board of disinterested
nrbitrators to decide, the general pub
lie has come to regard such an event
as one to be highly commended, be
cause it tends to allow production and
distribution to go on unchecked, says
the Shoemakers' Journal.
The public believes that employers
and employees ought to find some way
Of adjusting their disputes without
stopping the wheels of industry and
commerce and without discommoding
the public.
Under the strike method when an
employer is presented with a demand
for more pay, with a strike as an al
tentative, there is an element of coer-
cion about it that nettles him, and he
Is apt to reason that, as the employees
are looking for trouble anyway, It
might as well be now, and the strike
occurs. Similarly, If the employer in
troduces any new method of work or
any new condition Of employment, en-
ployees may think he is looking for
trouble, and growing resentment leads
to a strike or lockout. 1t is the mental
irritation that makes both sides nerv-
Gus and scrappy that leads to many OF
the labor conflicts.
Just as the strike method Of dealing
with Industrial disputes breeds strikes
and lockouts, so does the arbitration
contract breed conciliation and mutua
adjustment. The real fruit Of the agree
ment Of both sides to arbitrate-the
value of arbitration contracts that the
public does not knowYis that the men
tai condition of both parties, with oc
casionai exceptions, of course, Is such
that 1t leads them to say to themselves
and to each other: "As long as we have
agreed to settle this any way, why
bother with arbitration? Let's adjust
It,"
And so it is adjusted nine times out
Of ten. In the experience OF this union
in the last ten years the adjustments
of wages or conditions In factories
working under arbitration contracts by
mutual agreement have outnumbered
40 nj, tpp nh =,
to one. In our experience the arbitra.
ton contract has proved valuable not
for the cases Of arbitration 1t has pro-
duced, but for the twenty times as
many mutual settlements 1t has made
possible without arbitration being actu
ally invoked 1t is on the same theory
that a policeman is valuable not fol
the arrests he makes, but for the obedi
ence to law that his presence inspires

THE STRONGEST UNIONS.
Result Only of Patient, Painstaking
and Intelligent Management.


The big, powerful unions of today
are not the result of accident, the
mere turn of fortune. Rather are they
the result of patient painstaking, in
telligent management. There is al
ways some good reason why one un-
ion Is able to weather the storms en-
countered on the journey while others
collapse and die. The band of union
men who are willing to make material
sacrifices constantly in the interest of
the union will have q strong union,
and by sacrifices is not meant striking
indiscriminately or making lot Of
noise, but rather the willingness to
bear up under heavy assessments In
order that strikes when necessary may
be properly supported and prosecuted
to a successful conclusion. The union
which Is always compelled to ask for
financial assistance when trouble
comes, in the very nature of things,
cannot be as strong and successful as
the union which finds it possible to
finance its own fights. There Is food
for thought In this argument Noise
Is cheap, but it doesn't produce the re-
sults.-San Francisco Labor Clarion.

SUPPORT THE LABEL.

One nonunion workman who
spends his wages in buying
union label goods is of more
benefit to the labor movement
than hundred SO called union
men who spend their union
wages for nonunion goods. There
are nonunion men with better
principles than some individuals
whose only claim to unionism is
the fact that they carry union
card. What a man says doesn't
go for much unless 1t is sup
plemented by sincerity of action.
The union dollar Is potent just
exactly in proportion as it Is
spent to purpose. The open
shop exists upon the patronage
Of the people who believe In buy
ing open shop goods. Just think
this over and size up where you
stand. 1t is the way in which
you spend your dollars and not

ExHlslnVN OF ROAD MODELS
Greatest Display Ever Shown in Any
Part Of World viii Be Seen at
San Francisco in 1915.

Arrangements are to be made by
the United States department Of agri-
culture. through Logan Waller Page,
director OF the office OF public roads.
to place on exhibition in 1915 the
greatest collection OF road models ever
displayed in any part OF the world.
The models will furnish exact dupli.
Gates OF the old Roman roads. French
roads, and all Of the various types OF
modern roads together with miniature
models OF road machinery operated
by electricity.
The Office of public roads made an
exhibit Of road models for the first
time at the Alaska yukon-Pacific ex-
position. The aim vas to put on view
such striking examples IN miniature
OF road models that visitors would
not only appreciate the benehcent ef-
fects OF improved highways. but would
at the same time be able to under
stand the methods Of their construc-
ton
Since The Alaska Yukon Pacific ex-
position closed, the exhibition has
been displayed at various other expo
sitions and fairs. Since that time the
collection has been greatly augmented,
until every single type Of road is
now represented and every known
device used in the making OF roads
has been reproduced in miniature.
AS a result OF the instruction fur
nished by these road models, many
farmers have joined forces TO improve
their own highways, and the road
building movement has had a great
impetus

COUNCILMAN
SAYS UTILITIES
PAY LOW TAXES

In an address before the members
of the Referendum League, In Pythian
Castle last evening. Councilman j. J.
Company and the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company, say
ing that they are paying a ridiculously
low tax rate. Councilman Haney
compared the working of public SER
vice corporations in this city with
those OF cities having approximately
the same population as this city. Two
OF these instances he cited were the
towns OF Lynn and Springfield Mass.
where the gas companies are capital
lied at a million and half and yet
the former pays a tax OF $4,000
against tax Of $4,000 paid by the
Wilmington Gas Company lie cited
that this same ~Aiassachusetts com
pany pays an annual dividend of 16
per cent.
Councilman Haney approved the
plan of the Public Utilities Commits
sion 10 investigate the earnings and
costs of operation OF the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company,
and he favored the appropriation OF
money by Council TO conduct such an
investigation The Publicc Utility
Commission has decided to renew It's
fight for the strip tickets and at re-
cent meetings have adopted resolu-
fions TO that effect, he said:
Mr.. Haney expressed the opinion
that there would never be a city deficit
should the public utilities pay just
amount of taxes. and he scored che
traction company for urging that is
recent report to the public utilities
commission be kept secret, and he
declared that II was a matter the pub
lie should be thoroughly acquainted
with. He expressed belief that the
city should derive at least S200O0O an
nually in taxes from the public utilities
I He referred TO the Water Department
and stated that he WIS opposed 10 The
sliding scale rates. and declared the new
meter installation system was the log.
/ ical course.
Mr. Haney referred to the tax paid
I by the Wilmington and philadelphi,
Traction Company ns "ridiculous.
In this connection he said "The for
mer president of the corporation. Oscar
u. Crosby. valued the plant at S2,b00,
900. The amount of taxes pl vi il Sl5,
GOO, according to their own report. II
the Wilmington utilities are right iT
paying only that share of taxes, then
something is radically wrong with ths
State OF Massachusetts where five times
la commensurate scale is paid"
The remedy. he said was the vest.
ing of sufficient power in the public
utilities commission and giving thai
organization enough money 20 employ
experts 20 place valuation on th'
public utilities Then, he predicted
when the public learns the amount
OF profits derived. II will send mer
TO the Legislature who will max
laws TO compel these companies 4
pay their just share.
