Shall, then, the public submit to
this?
Haven't the hundred millions Of

Shall the rights of the public be thus

The News has urged before that ar
bitration is the solution for this con-

out regard to the merits of the propo-
siuon. We do not know whether the

fact that their contentious are i'm

of this nation is paralyzed by the
greatest strike ever known, we predict
that there will be speedily enacted
such Legislation as will make arbitra-
ton compulsory in the future in the
settlement of all such differences be-
