ARBITRATION IN PLACE OF LAW SUITS

the determination of facts before an ar bitrator having ample power and compe- tence and if points of law arise in the evidence these alone are submitted to a court. That necessity seldom arises.
 Arbitration is mutual and voluntary, and may be conducted either with or without legal counsel, as agreed Con- troversies in the Chicago Board of Trade and in the Building Contractors Asso- ciation of Chicago are satisfactorily con culded by arbitration. About 140 cas- es in other lines of business have been settled in this manner during the last two years. In England, 94 per cent: of all commercial disputes-domestic inn port and export-are settled by arbitra- ton.
 'The Chicago Association of Commerce is urging the use of commercial arbi- tration or of commercial trade courts for the benefit of it's members and in the public interest of the city as a whole 900 civil cases fled in the municipal courts of Chicago, to say nothing of the county courts. Think of the possible re- lief to these courts Think of the pub lie economy and the avoidance of cost " delays to individuals if the majority of these cases were disposed of else where in a simple way.
 The association will arrange for ar bitration in any case on request, will supply forms of submission to arbitra- tion with the law printed on the back of the form, will furnish copies of it's rules for arbitration and in many lines of business is prepared to suggest the names of arbitrators expertly qualified in their respective fields.
 ''In order to provide for arbitration the association submit a standard clause es agreeing to arbitrate in case of dis pute. such clauses to be inserted in con- tracts and in applications for credit" ]"
