that such arbitration is un-American
and a violation of the principles of

In deciding our course as to compul-

it is to be hoped we will be influenced
by the voting strength of the labor
unions. But, if influenced Nv lne lat eI'
consideration in this particular in
stance. in my Judgment justice will be
more nearly achieved than il was by
the passage of the Adamson wage-fiX-
ing law in the last session of Con-
gress.''
Continuing, Representative Coleman
said:
The right of labor unions to strike
is now generally conceded by the
courts of this country, state and ma
tional This is especially true when
the object of the strike is to increase
wages. fix hours of labor or in other
ways directly to affect the conditions of
employment. The modern union pro-
ceeds on fairly conservative lines and
in the main is under the direction of
able leaders. for which it is to be com
mended. Its object is the Just one of
protecting it's members and improving
their conditions of employment. Shall
we by law take this right from them
and place them at the mercy of COM
pu1sory arbitration tribunals and force
them to work, as was done under the
old English statutes, for the wages
fixed by law"
