Neluest Profession Is 'Labor Umpire"
MAN WHO SETTLED 1900 DISPUTES
 SEES ARBITRATION AS A CAREER

 Philadelphia, Feb. Jeff the old nursery rhyme beginning "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief," Is is to be revised to meet the de- mands of the modern American scene, the new profession of arbi- trator between employers and em- ployes will have to Do added.
 The authority of that statement Is no less Q man than Dr. George W. Taylor, professor of economies ct the Wharton School of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, research student of labor problems, and hina- self one of the busiset, If not the busiest, impartial chairman in the land.
 To pr. Taylor the settling Of labor disputes without strikes Is Q prob- lem of major importance in our country today; he finds that with collective bargaining the acknowl- edged right of workers, the question of putting collective bargaining to work is now of first rank in ell industries.
 During the years in which I have played c part as an arbitrator, since 1891, I have been instrumental in settling 1900 labor disputes with out Q strike" explained Dr. Taylor. "Today, I act as impartial chairman for 90 mills in the hoisery industry, 100 units of the clothing industry and more than i60 other miscellane- ous factories and plants. In the near future, I expect to be called In on another very large industry, the name of which I can not disclose at the present time.
 Many times I have been asked to explain the secret of my suc- essful arbitration. I think that I can best explain 1t by saying that the factual approach to collective bargaining is the most important angle. Thus collective bargaining is substituted for collective arguing.
 My function IS to attempt to substitute e rule of reason for eco- monic force. Every decision of the impartial chairman must be accept cd by both sides and then becomes the common law of the industry and can be used in settling future disputes covering the same ground Unions and manufacturers alike have accepted my decisions" Dr. Taylor discovered "this new profession in the making" as he

Clyde II. Walker, convicted
recently with his partner,
j. B. Sheehy, of mail fraud,
introduced a 47-page brief,
five motions and II affidavits
into federal court here Tues
day in a monumental effort
to free himself of the law S
clutches.
His arguments, which We're TO
have been limited to two hours,
We're put over until Wednesday
morning at 10 O'Clock by Judge

by the defendant.
Walkers motions variously ask
ed for nv trial. stay Of verdict
and that the verdict be set aside
altogether
Rowen More PrejudiciaI
He charged. in his motion for a
new trial, that Judge Cuehman had
not been qualified to preside over
the recent trial, and, further. that
he did not file a prejudice com
plant against the judge because
that would have transferred the
trial to Judge John c. Bowen 5
federal court In Seattle.
Judge Bowen. Walker said he
believed, would have been more
prejudicial against the defendants
than Judge Cushman.
Charges Jurors
Walker also charged three jury
members of Illegally discussing the
case with outsiders. He listed
Eva Baker Butcher. Antoinette
Nichols and Orvsl A. Parkhurst
as the offending jurors.
He stated that Mrs Butcher
