COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Taking Away Right to Strike Would Be
a Movement Toward Chattel Slavery.

Akin8 AWAY Ni9nc TO Srrtke Wouid 5e
Movement Toward Chatte Slavery.
In recent address in New York A
B. Garretson, president of the Order
Of Railway Conductors, said In part
Now, to talk about compulsory arbi-
tration, whether 1t is compulsory inves-
tigation or compulsory arbitration, is
an utter absurdity
The very moment 1t becomes com
pulsory arbitration it ceases to be ar
bitration and only becomes another
form Of court, with judge possessing
different qualifications presiding there
In. Take away the right to quit when
he will from the laboring man and you
might just as well enslave him to start
with, provided he will submit to it.
There is no difference In principle be-
tween tying man on a public utility
or elsewhere to his labor and actual
slavery.
1t Is exactly like the idea that labor
is commodity If labor is a commod-
ity the man who does the labor and
furnishes the effort is a chattel If
man is a free agent ethically it is the
same thing to make him work for one
hour against his will as 1t is to make
him work for one year or hundred

Of happiness according 10 his own con

doesn't infringe, not on the profits, but
on the apparent rights Of others, are

away from the meanest laborer that
there is on earth you have deprived
him of something we'll there are some
of us yet who believe 1t is God given

ALASkA'S LONG SPUR.
The Aleutian Islands Chain Over a
Thousand Miles In Length.

he Aleutian Islands Chain over
Thousand Miles In Length,
Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way of Alaska Nearly
a thousand miles are saved TO vessels
trading with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, more than 100
In number which extend III chain
east and west for more than a thou
sand miles, are inhabited by the rem.
nant OF the Aleuts. Their war of the
revolution closed just as the Ameri-
can Revolutionary war began. So pa
triotic were the AIeuts. so brave In
their struggle for indel eudence, that
they succumbed TO the Russians only
after a cosslict Of nearly fifty years,
and then simply because the race was
almost eXtcrminated In the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an important link III
the commerce between the United
States aud the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north In the narrow Bering
strait lie two little islands, one occu-
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States, SO that citizens Of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within few miles Of each other.
