CUT DOWN WASTE
'(Ccntinued from Page One)

members of the bar throughout the
United States"
In the field Of waste elimination
it comprises another important adj
vance, according to the secretary.
and as a result he says that he has
encouraged every reasonable move
ment in making arbitration accesSi-
BILE to merchants everywhere"
The new law, known as the Unit
ed States Arbitration Act, was pass
ed at the last session of Congress.
BY this law. written provisions for
arbitration in maritime transactions
or in contracts evidencing trapsac-
lions involving commerce with for
eign nations or among the several
states, for the first time, entered on
the awards OF arbitrator by simple
procedure. Awards may be vacated
by the courts only il procured by inn
proper means, If the arbitrators were
guilty Of misconduct or If they ex-
ceeded or improperly executed their
powers in material manner.
C. J. Junkin, chief of the Com
merce Departments Division of
Commercial Laws, and other officials
of the department who have made
close study of the subject, in discuss
ing the new law, explained that ar
bitration has been in use in unspec-
tacular ways by American business
for many years. According to these
officials. the trainers of the law and
those who have been in touch with
functioning arbitration tribunals are
confident that with the enlarged field
opened by the Federal law and the
ipcrea sing number of states adopting
similar laws, arbitration in the flu
ture will avoid much of the mental
wear, irritation. and disruption OF
business incident to litigation and
that the resulting economics will be
large. They say the law is supported
by business men as a time and mon
ey saver and by the legal element
because it will relieve the, courts OF
the burden Of many disputes which
frequently clog legal channels to an
extent amounting to virtual de-
NAL OF justice.
To aid business men interested in
arbitration the Department of Com.
merce through its Division Of Com
mercial Laws will endeavor to fur
nish information within the scope of
its activities concerning operation
under the Federal law and the arbt-
tration of international commercial
disputes. 1t will also provide means
through which trade bodies and
groups interested in arbitration may
be put into communication.
