The reed of an international arbitration law to settle labor disputes is again seen in the .big coal strikes now on. Large bodies of laborers should have no right to qufit work in a body to the great inconvenience of the general public. A tribunal should be provided where labor disputes can be referred and arbitrated, and pending the settlement of the disputes work should go on without interruption. It is nothing less than criminal to permit a few hundred thousand men at the behest of their “walking delegates” to tie up the entire business of the Country. Lt is time this thing was stopped, and it must come to that or the business of the country will be in a turmoil all j the time, j . |
