V BLOW TO ARBITRATION |
Cleveland Loader: The special
> otnmissloner of the United States
government who has been working
upon the eon! miuing situation in
the southeastern part iof Ohio is
going back to Washington to tell
the president that he has been un
able to make headway because he
cannot induce the miners to submit
their case to arbitration. They re
fuse to take the chance of au un
.'avorbale award.
This is a blow to the whole prin
ciple of arbitration. It is exactly
what many labor organizations
Uave often denounced employers
tor doing. It is a decision for in
dustrial war instead of for the
most hopeful means yet discovered
for averting or ending such strife.
Beyond doubt the leaders of iha
coal miners feel sure of the jus
tice of Vieir demands and they j
think that they ought not to sub- j
ject so ^ood a cause as they be
lieve they have to any risk of -le- |
feet. But the coal mining com- j
panies may feel just as certain that
they must win in order to do busi-.
ness at all, in the face of very
formidable competition, especially
from across the river, in West Vir
ginia. They, also, hold that they
(annot yield without destroying an
industry which means much to
Ohio.
Such conflicting opinions, so
stoutly held, are the fruitful source
of wars between nations and strife
between employers and employes.
Such conditions demand arbitra
tion as the one chance for peace.
When strong men disagree so com
pletely and so determinedly the
only hope of avoiding a disastrous
struggle—or of ending one already
long and costly—lies in calling
upon outsiders to act as judges or
arbiters. It is for such emergen
cies that the machinery or arbitra
tion in industrial disputes has been
devised an 3 established.
Still, the man who would rather
fight than eat hasn't been detected
making a move toward Europe.
One thing some people wouli
like to know is how a Mexican is
pble to tell, from day to day, whom
ho is fighting about
Aa office man the other day
counted 143 times that his steno
grapher powdered her nose. And it
>vas a dull day for business, too.
Indiana'? senate lias voted to
legalize betting on horse races. It
must have listened to some very
extraordinary persuasive powers.
After he is given his liberty,
Harry Thaw can do worse than go
to Boston and be nominated for
public office by the crowd that
cheered him.
Where should the progressives
go?" inquires Gifford Pinchot, But
he shouldn't put that question to
Congressman Mann or Uncle Joe
Cannon.
Everybody agrees with Mr.
Bryan that all democrats are de
serving. But the trouble is that
some deserve one thing and some
another.
BACHELORS AND CATS
TO BE TAXED IX JERSEY
Trenton, Feb, 23—Bachelors and
cats will Btand in jeopardy If two
tills pending in the present legisla
ture should receive favorable action
by the solons. The former "will be
affected in a financial way, and the
felines face extinction as a species
In very short order if the measures
are placed upon the statute books
of New Jersey.
Assemblyman Ostrom, democrat,
ntroduced the bachelor bill, which |
provides that all unmarried males I
«ver tho age of 30 years shall pay j
:n annual tax of ?50, provided lion- j
.•ver, that they r.re earning at least
>50 a weok.
A republican, O. H. Hammond, is !
•esponsiblo for the contemplated v. a |
>n the cats.
He has put in a bill which calls
tor licensing cat a< $1 a head. The |
•ponsor of the proposed law wants j
:o eliminate the hundreds of stray
inimals that Drey upon young game
such as rabbits and birds.
Assemblyman Singer would es
tablish a State Board of Barbers to
regulate that trade, legalize boxing
in tills state, and permit the play
ing of baseball on Sundays through
Jills he has Introduced. Senator
Egan would also legalize all sports 1
>n Sundays.
Senator Hutchinson, of Mercer, |
vould abolish the death penalty as \
capital ounishment, and substitute
if© imprisonment at hard labor.
Among the other interesting pro- j
positions before tho present legisla
ture are the bills to compel the
reading of the Bible in the DUblic ;
schools; permitting the hunting of
deer with dogs; reimbursing con
victs for state road work at the
rate of 50 cents a day, the money
to be given dependent wives and
minor children and increase the
bill to compensation to workmen for
the loss oi a thumb incurred while
engaged at work.
Assemblyman Stevens of Cape
May would boost the pay of tho
lawmakers from $500 a year to
51,000 a year.

iias never been a profitable occupation,
