Court of Labor Arbitration.

There has been established in Great
Britain what is known as the Indus
trial court. This court is standing
arbitration tribunal, the provision OF
which was one Of the recommenda-
tlcns Of the committee on relations be-
tween employers and employees, bet
Ter known as the Whitley committee.
1t is the desire Of the British govern
ment that trade disputes should be set
tied as far as possible by negotiation
between employers associations and
trade unions. In cases where agree
iaent is impossible recourse can be
had to the industrial court, provided
consent Of both parties to the dispute
is forthcoming. One Of the advantages
Of reference to standing court is
that the experience Of the members ct
the court in dealing with difficulties
In other trades is placed at the dis
posal Of the parties to particular dis
rute.-Scientific American. -

tucea.

During all this time the most damn
ing evidence against the tyrants at
Moscow was contained in their own
official deerees and newspapers. But
now there has been put out by them a
document which, IL 1t is carefully read
by American workingmen. must COM
pletely dlsillusion them. This is the
soviet governments code of labor
laws published in Soviet Russia in its
issue of February q, says the Re
view.
To be sure, this code makes some
pretense at protecting the laborer and
assuring to him some of the advan-
tAges for which labor everywhere has
been agitating, such as the eight-hour
day, disability and unemployment in
surance, the right to labor and the
protection Of women and children in
industry. All Of these advantages,
however, are carefully circumscribed
% that they can be suspended at any
time by the higher authorities under
the plea of necessity. In reality, the
cpde introduces labor serfdom Of a
ssrt far more tysanntcal than even the
peasant serfaom Of half a. century ago.
Article /. OF the code provides that
ill citizens Of the Russian Socialist
federated soviet republic between the
ages Of sixteen and fifty, unless inca
citated by injury or illness, are Sub
ject to compulsory labor" This is
the keynote to the whole code, and the
other sections, no matter how dis
guised in the wording, are merely pro-
visions for carrying this tyranny into
effect.
1t is not only from the standpoint Of
labor that the code is interesting. It
also throws a light on other aspects Of
soviet theory and practice. In the Sec
ton dealing with rules for the deter
mination of disability for work and
the payment of sick benefits to wage
earners. it is provided that the re-
sources of the local hospital funds
shall be derived:
!, "(a) From obligatory payments, by
enterprises, establishments and insti-
tutions employing said labor.
4 gr(bl Frem fines for delay Of pay
ments.
"(c) From profits on the investment
Of the funds"
! 1t is evident. therefore, that the hat
ed institution Of capital and interest,
against which Lenine and Trotzky full
minated SO violently, is now recognized

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS
Mr. Stewart's Sermon One Of Great
Power

Though a Monday night service yet
the audience over flowed into the gal
leries at the First Baptist Church last
evening. Rev. Mr.. Stewart preached
with great power on the strange eX-
periences of rhe prophet Hosea by
which the prophet is enabled to have
a first hand appreciation of the won
derful love CT God. There were numer-
Gus and effective illustrations that
brought the audience to conscious
ness of what God is willing to do for
the sinner, There are many denonstra
t;ons of real interest and the feeling
that a deep work of grace is being ac-
compfshed in Alexandria. Quite q
number cf christians in our COM
munity are looking after the secur-
ing of church letters, in order to
stand with the churches in the city.
Mr.. Stewards manner of presenting
the eospel message is decidedly un-
ioue but none the less effective, for
he is man of great heart power. Ser
vice this evening at 7.45 o'clock.
