ARBITRATION

The folly of warfare is that it is costly and that it set
ties nothing. After millions have sacrificed their lives
and nations are thrown into economic bankruptcy, a con-
ference is held, terms are agreed upon and misunder-
standings are ironed out. Why the conferences are not
held first is hard to understand.
History has shown us that wars are caused through
nations crazed by greed and pride issuing ultimatums
to sister nations and refusing to listen to all offers OF ar
bitration. The case of the Austrian utimatums to the
Balkans that led to the World war is a classic example.
Had Austria listened to reason there would have been
no World war with its foolish sacrifice of men, gold, and
morals. Greed and foolish pride ruled the day and a
whole world is still in misery and poverty because OF 1t.
The same thing held true in our past labor struggles
in Butte. The past two weeks have seen both parties to
the struggle gather together in peace and draw up terms
of arbitration. Arbitration came about only after mer-
chants had lost business, workers had lost wages, and
the public had been Inconvenience. The conditions now
settled upon could have been agreed to months ago when
certain unions asked for a new contract. Whether
through greed, pride, ambition, or what, we do not know,
ultimatums were laid down to the effect that certain
groups were through making agreements and that they
chose to dictate terms to the suffering masses.
Had the conference been held months ago there would
have been today a feeling of mutual cooperation, fellow
ship and good will between employer and employe. Wars
leave their feelings of bitterness and resentment whether
they be international or interclass. Both parties feel
that they have been wronged and that the other side has
sought to take unfair advantage. The wounds OF war
fare may be healed but the sears are always there to re-
mind one of what has happened. The wounds OF the
past month are healed but scars remain. How much
better it would have been had there been no w%ounding.
Let us hope that some day capital and labor may waken
to the fact that each has its part to play on this stage
called life. Both are necessary to a full life, but the
full life can never be attained until the two walk hand
INLAND in harmony, each considering the welfare of the
other. Feet, hands, and head are necessary in the make
up of a body. Not one member is the main factor, for
if one part suffers the whole body suffers. So it is with
our economic body: when labor suffers, the body is sick;
when capital suffers, the anne thing is true. 1t behooves
each factor to see that the other is healthy and satisfied.
To accomplish this, pride and selfish ambition must be
thrown to the winds, and employer and employe must
meet in harmony with the purpose of understanding the
other and together solve the great problems that con-
front us all.

Bill for Unemployment
Insurance to Be Drafted


Epstein, executive secretary of the
American Association for Old Age
Security, was designated by the
executive committee Of the Joint
Committee on Unemployment, at its
national conference in Washington
Dec. 3 to draft a federal unemploy-
ment insurance bill to be introduced
in Congress this winter.
Epstein told the conference that
unemployment is a definitely logical
product of our economic system, and
that social insurance is sound because
it makes the widest possible distri-
button of the burden of unemploy-
ment. He estimated that IL cents
per day per person is the average
unemployment relief now paid from
public and private charity funds in
the United States. He denounced as
very dangerous the so-called unem-
ployment reserves plan, which he de-
scribed as another welfare scheme of
employers.

Warming Is Given
Against Confiscation

WASHINGTON-(F. P.)-Disclos-
ure that the State Department had
been rebuffed by the Spanish gov
eminent when it protested against
a pending bill for Matchmaking the
telephone monopoly in that recently
revolutionary republic, was made
Aug. 5 with the suggestion hat no
foreign government can confiscate
American investments made within
the country which it rules. Premier
Azana had replied to an American
note of protest by declaring that the
seizure of the telephone properties
was a domestic matter-to be settled
between the Spanish government and
the Spanish company which operates
the system.
The attitude of the State Depart
ment, it was made clear, is that any
act of the Spanish parliament-the
Cortes-which cancels the contract
Of this Spanish company which is
chiefly owned by an American con-
Germ, the International Telephone &
Telegraph Company, without first Sc
curing the consent of the company,
is not a domestic Spanish matter,
American investment in the company
operating the telephone monopoly
amounts to see, 100000. There are
$4,000 Spanish stockholders, but
theirs is a minority interest.
As the Cortes was about to bring
the bill for cancellation of the monop-
oily and seizure of the property
from committee, for adoption possibly
Dec. 6, the State Department was
more than willing to let the world
know that a claim for the 6 5,000,-
900 would be lodged against Spain,
and that the American ambassador
might be withdrawn from Madrid.
This threat was issued because
the |. T. e. 7. has telephone monopo-
lies throughout South America, where
governmental changes are strongly
influenced at times by events in
Spain, and because European govern
ments, in the event Of revolutions

FARM PRICE INDEX IS
DOWN TWO POINTS MORE

WASHINGTON-(F.P .)-Announce-
ment that the farm index price on
Nov. Is was 81 per cent of the pre-
war figures, and that this was two
points below the index for Oct. Is,
was made Dec. 1 by the Department
of Agriculture. Twenty-Five farm
products showed a loss in price in
that month. Corn at 1914 cents a
bushel was about 10 per cent down
from the October price; it was AZ
per cent below the price of Nov. Is,
1881. Hogs were down to a little
more than 3 cents per pound on the
farm. Wheat, corn, apples, cattle,
calves and lambs were at new low
levels for the 24-year period during
which the Department has kept rec
ords.

DEPENDS ON WHAT CLASS YOU SERVE

While all Washington was in a state Of panic over
en- to demand relief; while this panic resulted in such
actions as the calling out of all police reserves, the "depu-
tizing" Of firemen, the cancellation of leaves Of absence
for all marines and soldiers in the area, the offers of
assistance by the American Legion and the Ku Klux
Klan-another group of lobbyists was descending un-
molested on the capitol. Laurence Todd of the Federated
Press thus described this march" of the lobbyists for
another class:
washington hotels such as the Mayflower, Will
lard, Wardman Park, Shoreham and Raleigh were
filling up with the annual mobilization Of paid lob
byists who represent steel, coal, shipping, banking,
insurance, and other big business groups. These lob
byists are getting together this December to attempt
to put through Congress a sales tax, as first step
toward shifting to the backs of consumers the burden
of income and inheritance taxes which their clients
are anxious to shake off. They will call upon Senate
and House members, or will summon the lawmakers
to call upon them privately, according to the contacts
they may have established. The police will offer no
interference with this mode Of petitioning for relief
for the rich"
