THINKS' IT A GOOD THING CHIEF AIITHIR OS THE NEW YORK LABOR CONFERENCE. lie Alwnya Has FnTored Arbitration and Welcomes the Growing Sentiment Hay es' Discordant Note. CLEVELAND. Dec 13.-P. M. Arthur, grand . chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, when asked to-nfght what he thought would bo the effect on rtrikej of the labor conference in NewYork city, said: "I have very little to say In regard to the Confernce. I want to wait and see what they do before I express an opinion. The principle of arbitration on which their plan in based is all right. I have always been an advocate of arbitration. Whether this attempt to apply it succeeds or not will depend altogether on the kind of men who are chosen to hold the decisive votes. If they select mn who are familiar with the situation to hold the balance between the employers and the leaders of the employed they may be successful. Those twelve men who make up the third of that proposed board must be men who do understand what they are dealing with or their work will amount to nothing. "The idea of bringing the employer and the . employe together is a good one. I have, always believed that the two should get closer; The best remedy for trouble is in an honest application of the Golden Rule on both sides, if that is even attempted by both the parties to a disagreement the reiult must be at least some modification of those differences. The best thing to do is to wait and let the results of the movement inaugurated by the conference prove what measure of success will attend the new plan." Max Hayes, a prominent local Socialist, characterizes the conference as a humbug, and said no worklngmen of Cleveland take any stock In it. He says Its purpose 13 political and that New York city was chosen- as a place of meeting so that it would be given greater publicity. ; WILL CONTINUE COLD.
