PEACE WITHIN SOCIETY

PERCE WI HIN SOSlElf
 In our horror and indignation at the war that ing Europe we may overlook the conflict within gates We have 1t right here in Arizona
 The industrial war is just as serious the of nations There is particular crisis at this time in American industry as there European politics, but the problem is always with it; 1t has grown in scope and intensity with the growth manufactures and trade it may eventually outweigh international pers For involves the peculiar danger of separating our social organization into hostile groups and threatening the very order that holds society together
 The need of applying best thought to this nces- sant war labor capital is driven home by the re- port of the United States Commission of Industrial Rela tons For year this new body has been busy through out the country pryng every industry qulzzng men and women of all classes occupations and sympahies in an effort to find just what ais American industry And the commissions conclusions might be summed up roughly as follows:
 Everybody is dissatisfied with present conditions
 Existing legal machinery failed bring industrial peace.
 Employers and employees distrus and dislike each other more than
  eanzaton of both capital labor, and collective bar gaining between them.
 But the only method accepted in practice by both sides is the method of primitive warfare.
 It is the European situation industrial life Just as the nations still resort to battle to settle their international disputes we resort labor wars to de eide our industrial disputes One method is as crude, wasteful and irrational the other
 Some employers their feudal ideas, their allies their bacSsts their ockouts their hired detectives and armed guards their reserves of strkebreakers Unions have their strikes their allies ready to strike in sympa thy their boycots their propaganda of what might be called labor miitarsm. Sometimes they use or condone actual violence.
 Each side misundersands the other, Each side be- leyes itself right Each class has its own ideals, as distinct almost as racial preudces and neither can ap preciae the viewpoint ideals aspirations of the other class
 It is useless to indulge in sweeping condemnation o either capital or labor The only thing absolutely de serving of condemnation is the persistence in perpetu atng industrial mitarism and inviting ruinous labo wars.
 The government commission calls particular attention to the fact there "too much organization for com bative purposes instead of for cooperation"
 How shall this regime of industrial milarism b abolished? Through peaceful collective bargaining Ina is where the difficulty Such bargaining in plies court arbitration to act when direct negoui ons fail Both sides profess belief in the principle arbitration but neither party will the princpl to its logical conclusion and accept compulsory arbit tion So we The Hague Tribunal in industry-arb tration without power to enforce its decisions
 Can there be genuine and lasting industrial peae any real cooperation between the warning elements industry, until society whole, whose interests al superior to those Of any of It, rises and esabsh authoritative bodies to whom industrial disputes MUS be submitted? New Zealand has found industrial pea in that way why can't we?
