NEW YORK, March 19.--While in

specifications remained good, but the

but producers were competing active

offered concessions. Pig iron was
quiet, steady and without special
price changes.
A better tone was reported in the
copper market toward the end of the
week. Export business improved and
while buyers for domestic consump-

was rather more inquiry with sales

COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION BIG
AID IN CUTTING DELAYS OF LAW
Charles Bernheimer Leading
Advocate of Principle for
Settling Disputes.
Cotton Converter Also Is
Noted for Desert ExpIora-
ton Once a Year.
BY NJ. S. RUKEYSER.

When Charles Bernheimer, one of
the leading cotton converters in New
York, is not devoting spare time to
| the sponsorship of the commercial ar.
bitration movement. which is his chief
| hobby, he enjoys being with horses.
| This gray-haired veteran of Gotham
spends three weeks each Summer on
horses. exploring in parts of the
! great American desert where no other
white men have penetrated, and while
in the city he also rides horseback
regularly.
Although 63 years of age, Mr. Bern
heimer is looking forward with the
eagerness of boy to his next trip in
less than eight weeks to Arizona.
which will mark his thirteenth adven-
ture in the arid regions of northern
Arizona and southern Utah. For the
last Is years he has spent every vaca-
ton save one scaling mountains and
descending into canyons in the unde-
veloped regions of the West. He is
deeply religious man and says he
feels closer to his Maker when wan
dering through the desert with Indian
guides. He traces his longing for the
desert to the fact that his ancestors
many centuries ago spent 40 years in
the desert--back in biblical times. But
age represent more than sentiment
and the desire to indulge whims and
hobbies. In his last six trips he has
represented the American Museum of
Natural History, for which he makes
observations and brings valuable pho
tographs and specimens.
Interested in Commercial Arbitration.
In an age when most successful
captains of trade, young and old, get
their chief exercise at the golf links,
the virile, strenuous play of Mr..
Bernheim makes him a man apart.
During Office hours, besides running
the Bear Mill Coz, cotton converterS,
he devotes considerable thought and
attention to the development of COM
mercial arbitration. For years he has
been chairman of the arbitration com
mittee of the New York Chamber of
Commerce and is honorary executive
of the Arbitration Society of America.
Since the war the idea of CONNER
cial arbitration has spread rapidly in
the United States. Many States,
without modern arbitration statutes,
are now considering such legislation.
New York was one of the pioneers.
New Jersey followed with even a
stronger law, and Connecticut made
still further improvements in devel-
oping model statute. California and
Massachusetts also have arbitration
laws. The first Federal arbitration
law went into effect last year.
The purpose of arbitration primar-
lily is to cut legal red tape and en-
able business men who agree to do
so to settle disputes quickly, fairly
and inexpensively. Like the Arbitra-
ton Society, the arbitration commit

Money in Jack Rabbits

An interesting development in the
control of jack rabbits, which are a
serious pest in Idaho and several other
Western states, has been the estab-
lishment of a market for black-tailed
jack rabbit skins. Through the efforts
of an employee of the United States
biological survey two fur companies
are maintaining offices in southern
Idaho and are paying from 40 to so
cents a pound for thoroughly dried
and properly stretched skins. This
means six to seven cents apiece, as it
takes six or seven skins to make a
pound, says the Pathfinder Magazine.
Men in Idaho are putting out
poison and collecting and skinning $50
rabbits a day on the average, not only
to help to keep down the numbers Of
the pest, but to gain a good income for
the time spent.
