Compulsory Arbitration ?Editor The Times:

Sir.—in an editorial in the Sunday edi-tion of the- New York Herald on thestrike of th>> Amalgamated Associationagainst the United States Steel Company

occurs the following:

"On one side we have «n army of work-men who are losing ;!:•Ir wages, to thinjury oC their wives and children, andon the other side a vast number of ;>•:-

sons, including women and children, de-pendent upon the Income; from securitiesof the great corporation. Not only areall these persons on both sides injured,

\u25a0but there, is possible far-reaching disturb-ance of business interests involved in aprot racted struggle.

"The public has as much Interest insuch a controversy as either of the par-ticipants, and arbitration of such dis-putes should' be compulsory."

Is it not time that some earnest, hon-est effort was b( ing made by the press ofthe country to educate the people to thetrue morality of the relations betweenlabor and capital and their relations to

the law of the land.Tho evils of such a state of affairs as

the Herald alludes to are largely due toLhe cowardice of politicians and capital-ists amd the ti'uculence of a 'large por-tion of the public press to party behests.

Xo one has more sympathy with thelaborer than the writer, but ho believesthat \u25a0 the laborer is as amenable to lawas anyone else. The laborer has a per-fect right to leave any employment whichis either unpleasant or unprofitaKe-, buthe has no right to say that his placeshall not be tilled by anyone who is will-ing to take it. and the moment that heIntimidates, threatens or assaults the

man who wants the place that ho hasgiven up be becomes a law-breaker, andought to be restrained or punished by

resort to the law. If he enters into

combination or conspiracy to interferewith the lawful management by his iateemployer of his property and business,

he becomes a law-breaker, and puts him-self in rebellion aca.inst the law and may

he punished by prosecution or by a suitfor damages. When the number. in thecombination or conspiracy is so large

that these legal remedies cannot avail to

protect the property owner a.nd businessman, the remedy by, injunction is theonly available means of defense except

force. That remedy is no new thing,

but a very valuable, essential and anti-quated protection provided by t;he nation-al a.nd State legislation in this country

and in use for centuries before this gov-

ernment existed.The legal rights o? employers and em-

ployed axe very we'll known and clearlydefined, and it seems to me that no arbi-tration is possible between those whowilfullydefy tho la.w and those whoseek merely to manage their own busi-ness in their own way under the law.

Such editorials as the one referred toseem to me to encourage violation oflaw by a class of people who may be

and doubtless are deceived and misledby leaders who are either as ignorant astheir followers or else they are of them-oi--,t class of criminals. W.

Enthusiasts— even visionaries— but not

worst class of criminals. Wo have known

many of them and 'have found them sin-

cc-re and striving to upbuild their fellow-workmen, but not always wisely. These

leaders often exercise a vastly more con-

servative influence thaai our correspond-

ent imagines. In the present case. Shaf-

fer and Williams wanted to settle but

wero overruled by their constituents.As to the question o£ compulsory arbi-

tration if a decision! were enforcable

the labor leaders and their followers

should protest. Sncfti a power might beperverted into the most grinding tyranny.

But there is no way to enforce such anarbitration. Even if it should be decided

that the men should return to work, whatpower can make a grown man workagainst his will? The whole idea is ab-surd.—Editor.

According to specialists in oil drill-ing, riic method employed at presentin Texas oil fields is more apt to ruinmany wells than to increase the num-ber of" producing drillings. It seemsthai the machinery used almost en-tirely iii the Southern oil fields isof the rotary type. That is. the bit ordrill is clamped by machinery thatturns ii round and round, and thusbores into the soil, bin ii is princi-pally in the auxiliary methods thai thegreat damage is done. Water ispumped into the casing that sinksgradually into the bored boh-, and thiswater is apt to gaiin so great a pres-sure thai it.exceeds the upward pres-sure of the oil level. Thus the oilis forced backward and 2is actuallyprevented from flowing to rue top. Inthis manner The experts claim thatmany profitable wells have been closedoui forever.

Drilling for oil is not as easy athing as itwould seem to be from theaccounts of enormous dividends heldout by the alluring prospectuses. TheBaltimore Herald, in discussing theprice that the Texans are- paying forlearning the oil business, says:

A REAL CROP FAILURE.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.The meeting of the State Bar Asso-

ciation, which lieuiiis to-morrow morning at the White Sulphur Springs,will give an opportunity to the law-yers of the State of Yurginia to as-semble and discuss a number of ques-tions that will be brought up beforethe Constitutional Convention, in addi-tion to the usual matters that aresolely of professional interest. TheBar Association has done valuableservice to the profession and the Statesince its formation by giving an op-portunity for the members of the pro-fession to stimulate each other inthe pursuits of better legal knowledgeand methods and in the maintenanceof higher ethical standards.

Auiong the actuul benefits to theefficiency of Saw as a means for do-ing justice between man and man andfor simplifying the transaction of busi-ness one of the most important hasbeen the promise of legislation lookingtowards the Torrens system, which'5s a direct outcome of the agitationof this matter before the State BarAssociation by those gentlemen whoare interested Inh. Chief among ihescis Mr- Eugene C. Massie, and from theinterest awakened by his papers, there

system of registering the tities to realestate which bids fair to take form indefinite legislation.

The result achieved by the Bar As-sociation in thN single field, to men-tion no other, is the example of thebenefit that comes from concerted ac-tion, and we trust thai The £ood workwill be kept up in other lines demand-

vantage of the meeting w 11 be theopportunity afforded many members

discuss 'i.c important questions be-fore tlua body, both with I\u25a0. se whoore jintlthose who are not membersof the Convention, but are none theless familial" w.ith the needs of Vir-giuia. We uotict> the satisfaction ex-pressed by the Maryland papers overthe work of their Convenilou, which•has just held Sis annual session, andwe have no donUt/virglnia will haveequal causa to be -jjratiiicd with, the

wage scale for all the mills, union andnon-union, by his conference of Sat-uvday, .Itily27, with the further right

to get such new members for the unionus he could without discrimination. Itremains to be seen whether he canImprove on these terms by open war.

As far as it appears from tlie vari-ous accounts sriven of the second con-ference between liie strike ]<-:s<l<'r> andMr. Morgan, the point at issue Kevinsio have been whether or no those millsshould be reeofrnized :*s union in whichunions have be™ formed since thedeclaration of the strike. It is under-stood that Mr. Morgan refused to al-low the recognition of the recently

formed unions in these mills, and onthis point the conference split. Ifthere "was any display of temper orany brusQueness of manner :; is to beregretted on .-ill sides, forconduce nineli to the settlement <\u25a0'!'

strike to have, as far as possible, tlrelationship between the leaders oitwo opposing forces marred by no per-

sonal animosity. But this apart, iappears to us, that as a question oipolicy, it was unwise for PresidentShaffer not to take half of a loaf wiie i

refusing to do so exposed him to thecertainty of having to make a MilJi^ht if he expert. <l any bread at all.

The principle of freed* in is strongly

ingrained in the American nature, andno niatter by what route t;::end may

lie obtained, we feel a nviaeed thatthe final outcome of the dispute be-tween capital and labor will !\u25a0<\u25a0 set-tled '\u25a0:! Hi" hasis tliat the laboi*er shallbe free to work in a factory whetherhe bel \u25a0!.•; to tin- union or not, and thattli"t , ioyer on iiis part shall not dis-crin v: to for or against the laborer

tv -i union. Had President Sbaff< r ac-

cepted the terms which were original-ly report d as offered, lie would there-by have placed all of the mills on theunion scale; would have prevented any

discrimination against the union mills:would have obtained the union scalefor tho non-union mills, and wouldhave had fullopportunity to gain mem-bers for Ihe union in the uon-uuionmills. The union in the latter casewould have had 1o show thai it wasof value financially and otherwise toits members. In other words. Presi-

dent Shaffer would have been in a

]K>siti(in to gain a number of new re-cruits in the non-union mills underthe promise of the steel corporations

that they would not be discriminatedagainst if the union could offer any

inducements thai would make it worththe non-union man's while to join.

Tliis would have brought the ques-

tion to The basis of actual worth ofthe union to the new members, and ifupon this basis the union could showiL^s value, it would undoubtedly havepained large acquisitions. As it is.

the action of President Shaffer willtemporarily set a premium on non-union labor, and may, if the matter Ispressed to a final conclusion, have theeffect of inducing the steel corporationiniis nun to make war upon organizedlabor. In either event the result willnot be one that will be contemplatedwith satisfaction by the public. ThereFh'inljbe no objection to a man loin-ing any union he chooses. I'.ut on theother hand, a man who has his timeto sell In tha open markets should beallowed tv> do so at such times and onsuch terms as to him seems good.
