ARBITRATION.

It I* DUcoaaed by Able Men in the Chicago Labor Congreu. Chicago, Nov. 14. —The congress on industrial conciliation and arbitration held its opening meeting Tuesday morning at Willard hall. On the platfq?m Vbeu. the meeting.-was called to order were "the ' cha'irmafi, Lyman J. Gage, Judge Vincent and Prof. E. R. L. Gould, of Johns Hopkins university, who, was set down for the first address. A little later Congressman William M. Springer, of Illinois, arrived and at the invitation of Judge Vincent occupied a chair on the platform. A short address, introducing the first speaker and outlining the purpose of the congress, was reiyl by Mr. G."ge, after which the audience listened to a paper on the “History of Industrial Arbitration in England and the Continent,” by Prof. Gould. Judge William A. Vincent presided at the afternoon session. The first speaker, James Peabody, editor of the Railway Review, who was down for an essay on “Arbitration in Railway Affairs,” confined himself to the question of interference with transportation, holding that the law was now powerless to prevent the crippling of railroads by the striking of employes, since Justice Harlan had decided in the Northern Pacific case that it was lawful for them to quit in a body. Some law was needed, he thought, to prevent men from quitting in a body without warning. The public was more to be considered than either railroad managers or employes. L. S. Coffin, of lowa, representing the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, thought railroad employes were in every sense public servants. As such they should not cripple the public service, but on the other hand, the railroads should pay them fair wages. The public was the great general paymaster. If the public did nob now pay enough to the railroads to enable them to give their employes good wages, let the public be charged more for freight and passenger traffic. He believed that labor should have the right to combine and made a strong plea for Sunday rest for railroad employes. He opposed state and national commissions and declared he was not in favor of giving them more power in regard to the settlement of strikes. Let their work be merely advisory, not compulsory on any class. Mr. Coffin thought the country had seen the last great railroad strike.

Representative William M. Springer spoke on his bill for arbitration of labor troubles between railroad employers and employes. This bill is now on the congressional calendar and will shortly come up in congress. Unfortunately, as--Mr. Springer -■ remarked, its author will not be there to push it along, however much it may be considered a good thing. Mr. Springer explained his bill in detail. It is already familiar to the public as asking for a national commission of arbitration of three members to be appointed by the president at a salary of $5,000 each a year, to hold office for three years. Such a board was recommended by Carroll D. Wright and his colleagues in their report to the president on the recent big railroad strike. Mr. Springer believed that the deference to public opinion of both parties to labor controversies would make them abide by any decision rendered by a national labor commission. There could be no end to labor difficulties until the people believed that justice was to be done to them. Half of the audience assembled at Willard hall for the evening session of the congress on industrial conciliation and arbitration was composed of laboring men. Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows, of this city, presided. “The Distinction Between Arbitration and Conciliation” was the subject of a paper read by Josephine Shaw Lowell, of New York. The speaker insisted that the general public knew little of arbitration and had absolutely no knowledge of conciliation. The state board of New York was held up to ridicule on account of its partisan character. Voluntary arbitration only came in this country, she said, after a long siege between capital and labor and the public had entirely lost their patience. The result was generally satisfactory. The best plan, instead of trying to arbitrate troubles and strikes, was to prevent them. The character of employes and employers needed to be changed—a Christian feeling should prevail and conciliation was the word that applied.

ROBBED BY COOK’S GANG.

Missouri, Kansas & Texas Passenger Train Held Up Near Muskogee. Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 14. —Train No. 2, south-bound on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad, was held up and robbed at 10:10 o’clock Tuesday night at a little siding named Blackstone, 5 miles north of Muskogee.

An attempt was made to enter the express car, but it was unsuccessful. The robbers then commenced robbing the passengers, who up to this time had been merely kept under guard. Two hundred and sixty dollars and eight gold watches were secured. The robbers the?# withdrew. One of the train crew claims to have recognized Bill Cook as'one of the bandits.

Sensational Suicide.

Norwich, Conn., Nov. 14.—Mary Leilson, aged 25, of Philadelphia, while dining with a party of friends here Tuesday afternoon, in response to a toast, laughingly drank a glass of carbolic acid and died soon afterward.

Congressman Myron B. Wright Dead.

Susquehanna, Pa., Nov. 14.—Myron B. Wright, representative in congress for the Fifteenth Pennsylvania district, died at Trenton, Canada.

The Worth of Living. Now rain falls bird and the hearth is cold. And gods and men Ignore you. And gone are the hopeful days of old. And black are the days before you; And soul and body crave in vain, And the world is a place of weeping, And death is the only end of pain. And life is not worth keeping. ■ Now thetsua shines-clear or the moon is fair That paints the hills and byways, And gladder than wine is the sweet, rich air, And gay are the well-trod highways. Tis a world of smiles and love, and rife Are the joys of the good gods’ giving, And the man is a fool who gibes at life, And great is tho cheer of living —Robert N. Stephens, in N. Y. Sun.

CRUDE CREDENTIALS.

Letter* of Recommendation Carrlexl by Western Indians. Western men are often accused of being prejudiced against Indians, but as a matter of fact they can be very friendly to individual Indians, and are able to appreciate their virtues, when they have them, as well as to perceive their failings. When an agency Indian is off his reservation, working, begging, or going about as he pleases, he makes it a point to carry with him a “paper,” which is either a permit from the agent to be abroad, or else a letter of introduction from some white man of the Indian’s acquaintance. Some of these letters are very quaint documents, containing not only a good deabof the dialect of the far west, but very queer recommendations of the Indian’s character. An agent of the census bureau met a Shoshone Indian named Taytober some years ago—a splendid type of man, eloquent in gesture and honest in purpose—who had been traveling a good while on this “paper:” “This Indian’s name is Taytober. He is a thoroughbred. He goes without the bell tapping. He is also a gentleman, and you can bet your life he will do what he agrees to. Make him your friend, for he is a good one. “Do the square thing by him, and he is a honey cooler. Do anything mean to him, and he is a johan, and he will get even. Brace him up with food when he hands you this, as he is always hungry; no rum, but beef, and plenty of it” The following remarkable “recommendation” is interesting, for one thing, for the curious contrast it presents between the Indian and the “white” name of the gentleman introduced. “This will be presented by Moss Rose, or Dirty Pete, a Washakie Shoshone. Keep him about five feet away when he presents it; also lock your valuablesup in your fireproof when you see him coming, for he is a great beggar. “In the meantime, if you have any jerked meat turn him loose at it. He don’t care whether it’s cooked or not. Ten to twelve pounds of good meat, bear, elk, deer or buffalo, lunche s him. He don’t want any trimmings with the meat, and you needn’t hand him a napkin, either. “He is not a bad Indian, but he is so dirty. He counts in dirt for two Indians when the agent rounds up the band for issue. “Treat him well; his faults are few, and vices small ones. His word’s good. ” —Youth’s Companion. “I tell you, women are coining to the frint,” said the woman’s-rights man. “That’s a fact,” said the bald-headed man; “there was one in front of me at the theater last night, and I never saw the stage once.” —N. Y. Press. Gent—“l have called on the recommendation of a friend to have my portrait painted. But I should like to know if you can take me in my fur coat.” Artist—“Oh, certainly. Fact is, you know, I used to be an animal painter.”—Humonstische Blatter. Mrs. Upton Flattb -“My nursemaid left me without a moment’s notice. I’m going to advertise for a girl to-morrow.” Flossie —“And (>’oase advertise for a boy, too, mamma. Me want a ’ittle bruzzer orful.” When Johnny was aroused from his morning hap by his papa’s heavy hand, he understood what was meant by being rapped in slumber.—Boston Transcript. The man who loves his duty will not Blight it.—Ram’s Horn.
