Compulsory Arbitration a Way
to Avert Much Labor Trouble
From the Sacramento Bee.

IN view of the disastrous results which
may follow continuance of industrial
strife In the United States during the
course of the war. compulsory arbitration
mas received some consideration as a pos
'ible remedy for industrial troubles.
While many hold that it is impractical
al this time to secure passage of compul-
cory arbitration legislation because of a
general opposition to it. both on the part
Of capital and of organized labor. some
believe that. ultimately at least, this
country will have to adopt 1t. as New Yea
and and Australia and (within the past
year) Norway nave done.
1t Is claimed by some leaders OF organ
zed labor that the right to strike is y
natural right to which the is
entitled: that 1t Is his only weapon in pro-
iecting himself against the aggressions
of capital. and that he should not be de-
'rlved OF 1t. Some employers, on the
other hand, claim the right to conduct
heir business in their own way, without
interference from the government, or out
siders.
Natural right is the right which was
'ecognized In advance OF the Inauguration
81 society and government. 1t Is simply
The right OF force. the Law Of the wild.
Originally each man took and held what
pleased him when his strength was suffi-
Gent for the purpose. The fittest sur

mately the weak. being in the ma ioritv.

sheviki as the head Of the minimalist and
social evolutionary parties.
This, In q nutshell, is the Russian situa-
ton today. Never since its birth has the
new Russia faced a darker future. Bloody
civil war has engulfed the young republic.
Unless speedily terminated, this fratnciGal
struggle will eliminate in the destruction
Of free Russia.
The quick termination of the struggle
can come only through a compromise or a
speedy and decisive victory. A compro
mise is possible only if kerensky is not
backed and supported by kornlloff.
why? Because to the revolutionary
democracy of Russia, korniloff is the
symbol OF imperialism, reaction, capital
ism, and everything else that is opposed
to socialism,.
Represents Hated Discipline.
korniloff the personality, korniloff the
patriot, no longer exists In the imagina-
ton OF the Russian masses. To them Kor-
niioff has become the embodiment of the
FORCES challenging freedom, of the elc-
ments supposed to be working for the re-
storation of czarism. Korniloff stands. i'm
the eyes of both the bolsheviki and men,
sheviki (mint.lali.ts), for severe discipline,
Tor repression, for a rule of blood and
iron.
This is no phraseoloGy. A casual glance
at the latest Russian papers arriving in
THIS country shows how deep IS the hatred
OF all Russian revolutionists. whether ex-
tresntst or moderate. for korniloff and
his followers.
Now. imagine Kerensky joining hands

is so, then it can mean only one thing
namely, that Kerensky will forfeit the
support OF the minimalists and of his own
social revolutionary party. The latter two
would join hands. in face of Korniloff.
with the bolsheviki, thus sealing the fate
of both kerensky and Korniloff and es-
tablishing a coalition socialist ministry
pledged to radical foreign and home poll
cies.
However, it is not improbable that Ker-
ehsky has united with korniloff. Kerensky
realizes that his only strength lies in the
support of the councils of
worllmen, soldiers and peasants. He woutl
have the support of these bodies without
repudiating korniloff and the bourgeois
elements so obnoxious to the revolutionary
masses.

So there is still reason to hope that The
Reconsideration union is but Il false
hood spread deliberately by the bolsheviki
in order to gain the unanimous support of
the Petrosrad proletaria. and that when
the truth comes out the reign of the Dol

What truth would that be? The fact
that ilereasky is disputing the %usu,pation

they are bound to succumb to them.
The boisheviki know it. They know that
their only hope is i'm soaring the radicals
by a kerensky-Korniloff bugaboo. This
is why they are so loud about linking the
two. But as soon as they are confronted
with the reality. i. e., that they are or

seek a compromise with them.

BEEF IN BRITAIN.

Since the war began beef has risen
in price 112 per cent, eggs 78 per
cent, fish 1873 per cent and milk only
60 per cent, according to a report
just published by the special war
committee on the production and
distribution of milk of Great Brit
ain, of which Maj. Waldorf Astor,
NJ. P, is chairman.
The committee says it is bound to
take cognizance of the fact that, be-
fore the war, the imports of milk
products, including butter, cheese,
margarine, condensed milk, ETC., into
the United Kingdom had been in
creasing year by year, rising to a
total value in 1914 of some $685.

Socialists Pleased.

The Socialists are pleased with the
tremendous gains made in Hunter
don county this election. The total
vote cast in the entire county was
over $50 per cent. increase over any
previous Socialist vote cast and the
Lambertville vote was over 800 per
cent. increase. This is especially
pleasing in view of the FACE that
practically no campaign was waged
in the county with the exception of
a few leaflets having been distribut-
ed principally in Lambertville. The
voters outside of Lambertville were
only cognizant of the fact that a
Socialist ticket was in the field when
reading the name of the candidate
on the ballot. Tremendous Socialist
gains were made in many places
throughout the entire country, New
York city elected one Municipal
court Judge, seven aldermen and
eleven members for assembly. The
total vote cast for the Socialist party
in New York city this election was
14O, 900, an increase of approximate
ly 500 per cent. Such tremendous
gains as these in the largest city in
the world are something to make
the old parties at least sit up and
take notice.
