SURVIVORS OF OKLAHOMA
ARRIVE IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-When the
Booth liner Gregory arrived today it
brought five more Survivors Of the
Oklahoma wreck, making a total of
thirteen saved, thus reducing the es-
timated dead to %. The men rescued
by the Gregory were found Sunday
afternoon on South Sandy Hook.
For six hours they were in the rag
ing storm in an open boat. They
said a giant comber struck the Okla
homa, while the vessel bridgel two
other waves, breaking her amidship
fhe crew launched two life boats.
Seaman Haaht commanded the res
cue boat When left the ship con-
tanned eleven men. While the Greg
ory was trying to take them on board
the life boat capsized and six of the
eleven were drowned.
1t is unknown how many were
aboard the other life boat but Haaht
said it was full when if left the Okla
homa.
The cutter Seneca, according to a
wireless, found another Oklahoma
lifeboat, with three corpses in it.

THE MICHIGAN TROUBLES

On the principle that two wrongs
never make right it was a mistake
upon the part of the overzealous citi-
zens of Hancock, Mich, to attack
Charles H. Meyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners.
While the people of this state, who
have had experience with Meyers
organization and know the methods
which it uses, including dynamite and
shotguns, yet, while condemning force
and violence, the citizens should not
themselves be guilty of using it. We
presume that they were, as has been
the case in Colorado exasperated at
the acts and conduct of Meyer and
his crowd. These citizens have seen
their business brought to a standstill,
men who wanted to work beaten up
and abused, no doubt some of them
badly mistreated, and one of the lead
ing industries of their state crippled
by the acts of this outside agitator
There was undoubtedly reason enough
to be thoroughly tired and incensed
over the conduct of Meyer and those
under him; and yea, inasmuch as the
laws permit these men to continue
their agitations, the citizens had no
ringh to take the law into their own
hands.
The Michigan situation is very much
like the conditions which existed in
this state in Cripple Creek and Telu-
ride q number of years ago. Most
people know what it means to have
industrial warfare such as is now GO
ing on in Michigan.
There is much bitterness and there
is likely to be for months to come
The miners union organization even
goes so far as to accuse the opera
tors of setting fire to the hall in which
SO many children and their parents
were burned. That is wholly unlike
ly. We do not think that any man
of any humane impulses or any judg-
ment would be guilty of such a thing
There would be no motive to justify
any such act. Rather the first ex-
planation is probably that some drunk
en- fool yelled ''fire" to see the rush,
or else someone saw the Christmas
tree catch fire and caused panic.

arbitration, but not to compel the ac-
ceptance of the results of that arbitra-
ton. 1t does, though, forbid strike
or lock out until the matters in dis
pute have been submitted to the board
of conciIiation -and judgement rem
dered by it. For the acceptance OF
that Judgment the act depends on the
force of public opinion enlightened and
Iemboldened by the decision of the
board of conciliation. Either party to
a controversy MAJ, after direct me-
gotiations have failed to bring about
an agreement, invoke the conciliation
act. This act provides for the ap-
pointment of three members, one by
each of the partiee of the controver-
sy and one by the government. Pend
| ing the presentation of the case to the
board, and its award, neither strike
or a lock out may be called, but the
party calling it must brace the cen
sure of public opinion that has con-
fidence in the justness of the boards
finding. We have procedure that is
analogous to this; but the essentia
difference with us is that strike may
precede the arbitration, whereas il
Canada the arbitration must preced'
the strike, if there is strike. Tn,
exercise of compulsion is no more
than the public interest warrants.

Miners goes it seems to bring and
breed trouble. 1t is the outcast among
the labor organizations. Either its
leaders have no judgement or moral
sense or else they cannot hold their
men when they start a strike Near
ly every mining state has her troub-
lie with the Federation unless it yields
to every demand promptly.
The solution of this difficulty as in
every other, can only be found in
obedience to law upon the part of all
concerned--to respect the rights OF
men and the rights of property. There
can be no settlement of strike
through the medium of violence ana
lawlessness.-Colorado Springs Tele-

cANADA's CANCELLATION ACT

We in this country have heard some
thing of Canada's Cancellation act
the method it has adopted for settling
industrial disputes, and about all that
we have heard has been highly lauda-
tory. The fact is, indeed, we have
heard so much in praise of the work
ngs of this act that it is surprising
we have not copied it in our own
statute books. If one had harbored
any doubt of its efficiency, that doubt
must be dispelled in reading the re-
port made Of it by Mr. Howard G.
Kelley, president of the Grand
Trunk railroad, who, with Chief
Justice Davidson of Quebec, was en-
tertained in Dallas the other day, says
the Dallas News. The Grand Trunk
railroad has a very large number of
employees. 1t and they fall into con-
troversy about as frequently as do
any railroad and its employees in this
country. But Mr.. Kelley testified that
this conciliation act had never failed
them; that when direct negotiations
had failed to bring about settlement
this act had been invoked always with
success to avert strike. He did not
pretend that the success it has achieS
ed leaves nothing to be desired. Doubt
less, there as here, conciliation or alb
hitration results in compromising JUS
tice as often as it results in vindi-
eating justice. He did assert, though,
that it had conferred real benefits
