they will be examined. He said that

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
NOT FAVORED.

Many remedies have been sug-
gested; one of them, arbitration, has
been urged with considerable per-
sistance. Where arbitration is VOL
unfairly agreed upon by the parties
to the dispute no objection can be
found to il, but compulsory arbitfa-
ton is not likely TO be favored in
this country-it does not seem to
be in harmony with our institutions.
We would find 1t difficult to compel
anyone to work for wages which he
deemed insufficient or under condi
tions he deemed unjust. just as we
would find II difficult to compel an
employer to conduct his business ut
a loss.

STILL ORGANIZED OPPOSITION
TO VOLSTRAD LAW.

The sixth problem which will con
front President Harding is the en-
forcement of prohibition. While
there has been a very large decrease
in the consumption of intoxicants
and a very material improvement in
conditions, there Is still organized
opposition to the enforcement Of the
Volstead act. Such difficulties as
we now have arise chiefly from two
sources, first, the temptation to make
money out of an illicit traffic, and,
second, the hope of weakening the
law by legislation.
1t is important, therefore. that the
new Attorney General shall give the
law-breakers to understand that his
oath of office will not be violated.
Any weakening on the part of the
Department of Justice would in
augurate reign of terror; any con-
cession made to those who defy the
law would increase the difficulties
Of enforcement.
The door OF hope must be closed
to lawbreakers. The new Congress
was elected nearly a year after the
prohibition law went into effect and
nearly two years after the amend
ment was ratified. The vets polled
their maximum strength in 1920 and,
in spite Of all. they could do, the
drys have a large majority in both
houses. Congress will probably have
an opportunity to speak emphatical-
ly on the subject at an early date.
The more emphatic the pronounce
ment, the sooner prohibition will
be accepted as the settled policy of
the country.
LIQUOR SMUGGLING WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
In speaking of enforcement, it
must not be overlooked that the
smuggling of liquor in from the

But compulsory investigation Is an
entirely different thing. We have
thirty treaties that provide for the
compulsory investigation of inter

embodied in the covenant. Of the
League ofeNationsls. And, II may
be added, this is one provision to
which no one objected.
The idea can be applied to labor
disputes. That is, commission on
which each side will have representa-
ton could investigate and report to
the public without having power to
bind the parties by any finding.

Such a system would be valuable
for, that which it prevents as well
as Tor that which it accomplishes.
When we have machinery sufficient
for the settlement of industrial dis
putes animosities will be lessened be-
cause neither will consider it neces-
sary to arraign the other in ad-
vance Of the adjustment of differ
ences.
Just as the substitution of reason
for forces in the settlement of in
ternational disputes prevents the
stirring up Of passion and the infam-
ing Of prejudice in advance of war,
so the substitution of investigation
for strikes and ,lock-outs will re-
duce to minimum the unfriendliness
that now makes a cooperation diff

WHOLE PEOPLE DESERVE
PROTECTION FRON INJUSTICE.

The safety OF our Government lies
not In the domination OF II by any
class but In laws and their enforce
ment that will enable the whole
people 10 protect themselves from
injustice at the hands OF any frac-
ton OF the people. The number Of
persons directly affected by any in
dustrial dispute is small compared
with the total population.
When. for instance, the country
was threatened with q coal strike
at the beginning OF winter. the num-
Der OF those owning stock In the
companies and working In the mines
did not equal one million men. and.
counting five 10 family, not more
than a total OF i've millions OF the
population. The other ninety-five
millions would have suffered II the
strike had continued.
The time is not far distant when
this large third party. known as the
public, will receive greater consid-
GRAFTON than II has In the past. The
strike and the lockout are only de-
fensible as a last resort and when
no other remedy can be found. And
the strike and lockout, even when
necessary, are very clumsy weapons
and likely to bring losses to both
contestants and suffering upon In

Approval of the common council to the playing of Sunday baseball games in this city will shortly be sought by group of local baseball enthusiasts, either at a special meeting of that body or at the regular May session, provided the mayor disapproves the idea of bringing the council members together for special sitting.
 The action of the local fans follow ed forecasts at the State Capitol that GoVernor l.. T.

Hartford, May 9.-The state police commission in session today refused to accept the resignation of State Po- liceman Thomas A. Mitchell of this city and voted to dismiss him from the force. Superintendent of State Police Egan gave out the following oncla1 statement concerning the ac- t1on of the commissions:
 Mitchell has been under suspen- slon since the accident on Farming ton avenue last Thanksgiving Day.

The com- mission has voted not to receive the resignation and to dismiss him from the force.''
 Mitchell and another state police man,. Antonio Tonanio, with a young woman, were in an automobile when 1t collided with trolley car on Pennington avenue. Mitchell was seriously injured but the other officer less seriously. Both men received hospital treatment. The young woman escaped with slight injuries. The com mission, after an investigation, exon erated Tonanio and reinstated him on the force.

SPENCER TAKES SLAP
 AT FORMER PRESIDENT
Seeks to Prove Himself Correct in Previous
 Controversy.

Washington, May 9.-Senator Spencer. republican, Missouri, revived today in an address to the senate dent Wilson last October during the presidential campaign over what MT. Wilson said at the plenary session of the peace conference on May 31, 1919. The controversy reverting around an alleged declaration by MT. Wilson that if the territorial integrity of Rumania and Serbia should be threatened American forces would be sent over seas to assist them
 Calling that MT. Wilson had denied also had said he did not have a transcript of his remarks, Senator Spencer presented the full text of MT. Wilson's address which he ob- tained last month from the state de- partment and which Secretary Hughes write him had been received at the department from Paris in July, 1919
 From this text Senator Spencer read the following quotation.
 We must not close our eyes to the fact that in the analysis the military and naval strength of the great pow CTS will be the final guarantee of the peace of the world. X \ There un- derlies all of these transactions the expectation on the part, for example, of Rumania and of Czecho-Slovakia and of Serbia, that if any covenants of this settlement are not observed the United States will send her armies and her navies to see that they are observed"
 Senator Spencer said he would make no comment on what this rec ord showed, adding that it spoke for itself with convincing force.

Washington, May 9.-Edward S. Bailey, law partner of Samuel T.

Corroborating the testim ony of his partner. MT. Bailey said Sec retary Baker refused to see the law yers. but sent word to Ansell that the department expected him to see that BergdoH was returned to prison in accordance with the promises made when he was released under guard to recover a pot of gold. The witness said. however, that he did not con- strue this to be putting the matter entirely up to Anselr' but assumed that military machinery would be used to pursue the fugitive.
 Mir. Bailey reiterated that former Judge John w. Wescott of New Jer- sey, was associate counsel in the Bergdoll case, notwithstanding the. Judges denial that. his name had been mentioned in ieAersl to- Major General Harvis, adiutant general, and that it was again' mentioned in a statement given to the press by An sell and Bailey a few days after the prisoner had escaped.
 Reverting to Judge wescott's tes- timony that he knew nothing about the pot of gold story or the escape, John H. Sherburne, counsel for the committee asked:
 Was the gold mentioned at the conference with Judge wescott at which plans were discussed for the release to hunt it?"
 Why, absolutely" MT. Bailey re- piled. There was no question about it. Judge Wescott was there all the time we were talking about it."

 The effect of approval by the coun- cil to the playing of Sunday games in this city would be to allow the man. agement of a club to stipulate what admission would be charged at games.

The fans are of the opin- ion that a far better brand of baseball can be guaranteed those interested in the game through the new system.
 Mayor O. F. Curtis has been inter- viewed concerning the new measure and is quoted as in favor of passage by the council of an ordinance legal izing Sunday ball. Whether or not he will require that the matter lay over until the next session of the council. Wednesday, May IS, is the only ques- tion in the minds of those fostering the proposed ordinance.
