COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

British labor has gone far in the re-
cent manifesto submitted to Premier
Lloyd George by group of labor lead
ers and labor members of parliament.
The manifesto calls for the establishment
by the British government of Industrial
courts which would function like the ex-
listing civil courts, and to which both
capital and labor would be compelled to
submit their differences for adjudication.
instead Of resorting to the lockout or
strike
The labor statesmen insist that they
want to see cooperation between en-
ployers and employees, replacing the i'm
dustrial warfare of the past, because
they believe that industrial peace is the
only way to revive business and main
tain decent living standards. They con-
denim equally unreasonable demands of
employers and unreasonable demands of
workmen, and believe that there can be.
no way of reconciling their opposing
viewpoints except through impartial
tribunals with full authority to act.
This manifesto is admittedly the work
of "moderates," whose views differ
widely from those of the radical labor
leaders ri, is beHeYedt however, that it

Community Activities.
bellows Falls Timcs0

Brattleboro has Community Service.
That explains its varied civic activities.
A New York man is on the pay roll and
devotes all his time to thinking up and
assisting in putting across numerous ac-
Invites. He not only keeps moving
himself bnt also keeps others moving.
About $1,000 has been spent since No
vember l and a campaign is on to raise
$4,000 more by subscription. Activity
costs money, but presumably Brattleboro
believes it is getting good value for money
expended. 1t will be remembered that
Springfield, this state. carried through a
similar program during year or two of
the war boom, spending over $4,000 an
nually. When the collapse in manu-
featuring came, a collapse in community
activity also came. 1t is possible of
course that Community Service with n
salaried director viii continue in Brattle-
boro, but the chances are that after a
wear or two when the novelty wears off
Brattleboro people viii decide they can
direct their own activities and in doing
so save a few dollors and have just as
good a time.

THE MATTER WITH THE MOVIES.

Observers in Los Angeles, says des-
patch, think they know the answer TO
the question, What's the matter with
the movies?'' That something is seri-
ouSly the matter with them no intelh-
gent person doubts any more, The think
'<ne and respectable people Of Los An
lies, who ought to know something
bout the subject from frst-hand obser-
alton, are said to size the thing up
about like this:
tile trouble with the motion picture
..dustry is the presence in it of a rela-
e. ely small number of people who have
Been unbalanced by sudden prosperity,
md the fact that character has not been
ienandcd by either producers or public
SIS an element to screen success
The revelations that have scandalized
The whole country in the last few months
indicate. on one side. u not unnatural
@uccumbing of human weakness TO I'M
usual temptation. People with little cul-
ture and little mind or character train
ing of any sort, have found themselves
suddenly in possession of undreamed-c of
wealth and fame. With small resources
in themselves, and the means of crafty
ing every material whim, it is little won
der that many of them have sought di-
version in the crude, foolish and vicious
ways that were the only ways they
/ know. Foolish adulation, too, has made
them feel above the law. 1t is an odd
spectacle of ignorant, silly super-men
and super-women doing as they please
until brought up inevitably by law OF
/ fate
And perhaps the ultimate response:
bility falls upon the very people who are
now SO busy criticizing Hollywood There
arc good people everywhere who have
viewed the movies uncritically, who have
contributed their need of hcro-worshir
TO people that were not heroes at all
and who have not demanded character
as an element to success"
| 1t is time that film producers were
made to feel that the public demands
character, as well as talent and beauty
and bags Of tricks" in the movies nc
less than in the spoken drama and other
forms of art and life. The film industry
like any ether industry, will live up to
what is demanded and expected of it.

represents the present sentiment, or at
least the developing sentiment of the
majority of British workers.
In the United States this principle
of compulsory arbitration has never
found favor with labor. 1t is being
fought vigorously in Kansas. 1t was
condemned again only the other day by
Samuel Gompers. Yet there is a grow
ing feeling among mOderates in this
country, as in England, that there is no
other way to bring peace to industry ex-
cept the way that has brought peace to
civilized people in nearly all their other
relations with each other.

if municipal corporations are to keep
abreast of the times and unless town
has provided itself with reasonable adj
vantages there is no distinct credit in
getting free of debt. We are not in
formed of specific conditions in the two
towns mentioned, but we presume that
both Greensboro and Putney have their
share of advantages and are willing TO
go into debt, if necessary, in order 10
gain other needed advantages. Progress
and prosperity in municipal life are
sometimes dependent upon debt.
