IT WILL NOT WORK
Compulsory Arbitration Is I'M
possible, Says Sen. Cummins.
Government Cannot Force Men
to Continue LabOrs.

Washington, Aug. 3O-Senator
Cummins today in a senate speech
denounced '"socalled compulsory arbi-
tration" as an impossibility. There is
no power, he said, in which federal or
state governments can force men to
work when they do not want to. This,
he said, would be the case under any
actual compulsory arbitration law.
The fifth and thirteenth amendments
to the constitution, he said. would
prevent operation of such proposed
laws.
81 do not doubt, however" said
Cummins, that congress could create
a tribunal, and confer upon it juris-
diction to seize upon a controversy be-
tween a cooperative body of railway
workers, such for instance as the
Brotherhood of Engineers and the
railway companies, call the parties in
dispute before it, take evidence and
render judgment, assuming of course
that the dispute affects commerce
with foreign nations or among states.
Can't Make Men Work
But even this procedure would meet
obstacles since enforcement of an
award might compel men to work
against their will, which is involun-
tary servitude- Compulsory arbitra-
ton, in the complete sense, is a myth
an idle dream. 1t is only possible un-
der pure socialism. in which all rela-
tons of the human being are deter
mined by the state or in pure mon
archy.
IF we are ready to treat the man
who refuses to work or who leaves his
work because he is dissatisfied with
wages or working conditions as we do
criminals or deserving soldiers. then
compulsory arbitration is possible |
pray we never shall be ready to do
this"
Cummins said there is some of good
in both the Canadian and New Zea-
land laws regarding industrial dis
putes, but that they are not wholly
effective. Similar laws in Massachu-
sets and Wisconsin. he believes. are
better. The Erdman and NewIands
acts. he said both have proved their
value

CITY after COAL
Topeka Fears for Water Supply
i'm Case of Strike.
Superintendent Shaw Ordering
Fuel for Storage.

If the railroad strike extends mucn
longer than thirty days the water sup
ply of Topeka will be cut off accord
ing to a statement made today by
Jesse Shaw, superintendent of the
water department. This because it
will be impossible for the city to lay
in a supply of coal sufficient to OPP
crate the plant for a period to exceed
thirty or forty days.
Mr.. Shaw today was busy ordering
all the coal it is possible for the city
to handle in it's bins. In addition he
intends to obtain, if possible, more
than the capacity of the bins and place
the surplus along the tracks. He be-
lieves he can get sufficient coal to
operate the plant for thirty or forty
dayS.

Abraham Lincoln and George Washing

our complex life quoted the writings of
these two men to prove their point.
The militaristic party in America espe-

Washington. One passage is taken
from the first presidents address to
congress, Dec. 3, 1893. 1t reads:
