ARBITRATION" GUIDE POST

SUGGESTIONS, for compromise were
Sat the bottom Of the four plans for in
dustrial peace laid before the conference
in Washington yesterday. The word
used was "arbtration," but arbitration
means compromise or an agreement to
adjust differences by mutual concessions.
Two of the propositions called for per-
manent boards to adjust differences be-
tween employers and employees and two
dealt with the present emergency. Mr..
Baruch proposed an immediate indus
trial truce, to continue for three months,
and Mr.. Gompers proposed the arbitra-
tion of the demands of the striking steel
workers with immediate resumption of
work.
The plan of the Department of Labor
provides for joint arbitration boards in
each industry with a general board to
hear appeals, and the plan suggested by
Gavin McNab, of Chicago, provides for
a single arbitration board chosen by the
President and Congress, to contain in
addition "all living former Presidents"
Judge Gary, of the Steel Corporation,
who has insisted that there is nothing
to arbitrate in the steel strike, is one
of the radicals who will have to modify
his views if he consents to these propo-
sitions. But the radicals among the
conservatives are no more likely to have
their will than the extremists among the
radicals.
The common sense of the nation is on
the side of arbitration of industrial dis
puteS as well as arbitration of disputes
among nations. There is no other way
by which peace can be maintained. The
great conference in Paris devoted itself
for months to devising some plan which
would make it unnecessary for the ma
tions to transform themselves into
armed camps prepared to resist invasion.
Some way must be found to turn capital
and labor from the road along which
they are marching. The solidarity of
capital is forcing labor to attempt to
bring about similar solidarity among
the wage earners in preparation for
what the labor organizers are wont to
call war to a finish.
Lord Roberts warned Europe of what
was going on in Germany years before
the fatal lst of August, but he was
unheeded. Hundreds of men are warning
the United States of the great conflict
for which the workers are preparing 1t
can be avoided only by facing the issue
and bringing to bear upon it the sound
wisdom of thinking men, who will
force upon both sides realization of the
Importance of coming to an amicabe
understanding.
The appearance OF arbitration as the
first subject to be considered by the in
dustrial conference is promising. As
the conference is voluntary body it
has no power to enforce any decision
which it may reach, but if its conclusions
commend themselves to public opinion it
will be rash man who disregards them
in his dealings with his employees or with
his employers.

The Race

A HUNDRED shining sails put out to sea
One wide ballooning sail leaps free,
And like a card that slips from out the pack,
Alone, it veers along the splashing track.
A hundred shining sails put out to sea!
One settles to the course unswervingly;
The rest are caught, colliding, at the gun;
Bright squares of white ashuffle in the sun.
Long sullen gusts crawl darkly on the blue
One straining, close reefed sail holds true;
The rest, like dying gulls with broken wing,
Droop to the water, limp and quivering.
A hundred shining sails put out to sea
One graying sail fulfils its destiny;
Far off there sounds sea BELLS guiding
drone,
As, through the DUSK one sail rides on
alone.
