have often wondered at-the indif-

publishes many columns of matter

OF the schools. 1t will pay any

Washington, February 5--Hon. Rob-
ert NJ. McCracken Of Idaho has been a
lifelong student of matters relating
to the welfare of his fellow men, and
during his service In the Legislature
of his State introduced and secured
the labor bill, an employers liability
bill, etc. The Sixty-fourth Congress
is Mr.. McCracken's first, but he has
lost no time in fliving expression to
the subject Of legilation uppermost In
his mind. He has formulated and in
troduced a bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint a commission to ex-
anime State and other laws relating
to old age pensions, and report not
later than January LIST next upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing an old
age pension system in this country.
The bill has been referred to the
Committee on Labor Of the House, and
Representative McCracken intends to
urge that committee to give the mat
ter early consideration.

That the abolition of the pneumatic

Opposes Compulsory Arbitration

Compulsory arbitration is of So
cialistic flavor" declares Congress-
man William II. Coleman of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Coleman has in his dis
trict a great number of union labor
ers in the coal and iron industries,
and has taken great pains to prepare
himself to fight the efforts of the
President and his friends to force a
compulsory arbitration law on his
constituents. Mr.. Coleman is a law
,er Of exceptional ability, and has
made study of the question of fix
ing wages by statute since the mid
lie Of the fourteenth century. He
argues that we have gradually dis
.arded the theory that man can be
compelled to work for certain wage,
and that the adoption of compulsory
arbitration would tend to a reversion
to the old conditions. 81 argue that
compulsory arbitration is wrong in
principle" contends Representative
Coleman, that it is contrary to the
spirit of our institutions, and that It
is in violation of the individual rights
