WANT ARBITRATION ONLY WHERE UNIONS
 CONTROL INDUSTRY
Big Business Only Agreeable to Set In When It Cannot
 Dominate

Organized labor, as a rule, has not opposed arbitration as a method of settling industrial disputes except in its compulsory form, but it greatly prefers conferences, with mediation and conciliation, as the means of compromising differences, says Basil l M Manly, former joint chairman of
 the National War Labor Board, in an article in a recent issue of The | Survey.
 Until quite recently employers as 1 sociations have been hostile to the suggestion of arbitration, MT. Manly declares Even now it may be noted 1 that employers demand arbitration l only in those industries where labor is strongly organized. There is no demand for it's application to the steel and other great anti-union industries cent shift in the opinion of organized labor to suspicion of all forms of arbitration has been centered primar- fly by the drive to secure compulsory arbitration.
 Labor does not draw nice distinc- tions, says MT. Manly, who continues
 "The inequity of arbitration as a method of settling industrial disputes arises primarily out of the inequality in the relative positions of the two conte stants. The degree of this in equality is forcefully expressed in the old adage, possession is nnie points of the law
 "In arbitration proceedings the en- ployer always occupies the position of the possesor He has control of the plants. He makes up the pay roll. All changes in working conditions are made upon his orders.
 Possession also gives the employ CT an advantage in that he has con trol of all or a large part of the valid evidence Either he or his fellow employers normally have possession of substantially all the provable facts upon which the arbitration turns The employers have posses sion of the pay rolls in the particular establishment or industry, and in the other industries used for purposes of comparison.
 At best labor has access only to the fragmentary, nOndOCumentary evidence of it's own members and to the compilations in government re- ports. These reports are always out of date, and so can frequently be dis credited by a clever attorney for the employers.
 "This is not matter of accident. One of the principal activities of the employers associations is to see that neither the federal bureau of labor statistics nor the state bureaus are given sufficient funds to enable them to keep in up-to-date and comprehen- sive form this information upon the

 q am informed that there are now 72 cases in which railroad corpora tions have refused to obey the find ings of the Railroad Labor Board, and only two cases in which the cm- ployes have attempted resistancd. In the 72 cases the employers have been uniformly successful because they have merely had to abstain from issu- the boards decisions, while in the two attempted resistance the adverse de cisions have been put into effect and the workers have succeeded only in somewhat embarrassing the railroad corporations.
 "The fact that these decisions have not been carried out is not due to the personnel of the Railway Labor Board CT to any special defect in the , legislation which created it. Under the Erdman and Newlands acts it was the practice of the railroads to put into effect only those parts of the arbitr ation decisions which suited them and to haggle over the inter pretation o fthe balance, or delay ac- ton for months or even years. There are also millions of dollars now owing to workers under the decisions of the War Labor Board which can never be collected"

A Quiet Place.

Thirty years ago the little town o.
Glenville was known as being unusual,
ly lawless, and the town was called
Hard Scratch" but since that time
quite change has come over the
community, and to. day it is the most
law, abiding settlement in Adair coun-
ty. We learn from Mr.. C. A. Walker
that thirty years ago, at each circuit
court, the whole town was summoned
to Columbia as witnesses, on various
offenses. The last, held in this month,
July, there was not a witness from
tie town of Glenville nor a man
drawn for jury service. This is an
evidence" said Mr.. Walker, that our
people are law-abiding. SIN fact, we
have one of the largest Sunday
schools In the county, and everybody
attends church" The course that
Glenville has followed in the last
thirty years is very commendable.

Rev. J. P, Scrusss.
FRANKLIN FAvoRITE.l

Rev. ]. P. Scruggs, pastor of tn,
Franklin Baptist Church, is one o.
the ablest devines of the Baptist
faith in Kentucky land with this com
bines an industry which makes him a
pastor Of splendid worth.
Rev. Scruggs succeeded Rev. B. II.
Lovelace as pastor, and it is question
able if higher compliment could be
paid him than to ssy that he has
measured up to the exacting require.
ments of his flock as set by his below
ed predecessor, for Rev. Lovelace was
and is man among men, devout, up
right and fearless in the discharge of
all duties, both public and private.
Without making himself obnoxious
to young men, who on account Of
youth, are not disposed at all times to
follow the path set down in Holy
Writ as 'straigh bit and narrow" Rev.
Scruggs has, by his genial bearing and
friendly courtesy, won the confidence
and respect of all, and is force for
good in this sction which could scarce
ly be estimated.
Another attribute which greatly
aids him in the work of the Master is
his broad and liberal conception of
life. He is directly interested in the
material advancement of the county
and is alway ready to accept place on
any program where the people are
called together to discuss plans where
by progress can be made.
Some years ago Rev. Scruggs re-
ceived a call from the church at Co
lumbia, the county-seat of Adair,
which, as subsequent events went
to show, proved to be the happiest
event in the whole of his ministerial
life, for while ministering to the
flock he met and later married the
daughter Of the lamented Judge James
Garnett, an elegant gentleman and in
his day one of the States ablest jur.
lists. 1t was long the custom in this
country to dismiss the subject after
giving the family name to which the
wits belonged before her marriage,
but the Constitution now regards
women as on exact equality with men,
and The Fayorite is therefore permit
ted without violence to ethics to con.
tinue the narrative. Much of the
good Rev. Scruggs Is enabled to do.
both as citizen and minister, is due to
the encouragement received from and
womanly graces impaired by his de-
voted and consecrated companion,
who is one of the States most highly
cultured and most active church work
ers.
