LABOR CONGRESS. Xt Disqusses the Relations of Employer and Employed. Arbitration and ConcUiatloa the Main Topic* of Consideration — Conrresaman Springer Speaks of His Bill—Commissioner Wri<ht Speaks. t Chicago Nov. 15. —The opening se'si*ipn of the congress of industrial conciliation and arbitration was called to order by Lyman J. Gage. Prof. E. R. L- Gould, of Johns HopkinsAiniversity, read a paper on the “History of dustrial Arbitration in England and the Continent.” Judge William A« Vincent presided at the afternoon session. James Peabody, editor of the Railway Review, speaking on the subject of “Arbitration in Railway Affairs," said that the law was now powerless to prevent the crippling of railroads by the striking of employes. Some law was needed, he thought, to prevent men from getting in a body without warning. The public was more to be considered than either railroad managers or employes. L. S. Coffin, of lowa, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, thought that railroad employes, as in eyerjsense public servants, should not cripple the public service, but the railroad should also paj- them fair wages. He believed that labor should have the right to combine and make a strong plea for Sunday rest for railroad employes. He was opposed to giving state and national commissions more power in regard to the settlement of strikes. Let their work be merely advisory. Springer and tils Hill. Representative William M. Springer spoke on his bill for arbitration of labor troubles between railroad employes and employers. This bill is' now on the congressional calendar. It asks for a national commission of arbitration of three members to be appointed by the president at a salary of *5,000 each, to hold office for three years. 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. Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows, of this city, presided at the evening session “The Distinction Between Arbitration and Conciliation” was discussed by Josephine Shaw Lowell, of New York. Voluntary arbitration only came in thia country, she said, aftfer a long siege between capital and labor, and the public had entirely lost their patience. The result was generally s&fejsfactory; The best plan, instead 01 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. Wednesday’s 8e»»lon». • ' Chicago, Nor. 16. —Miss Jane Addams, of Hullhouse,’ presided over the Wednesday morning .session. John D. Weeks, editor of the American Manufacturer and Iron World, spoke on the relation 'of manufacturers and employes. Strikev he looks upon as. the greatest of evils. The trouble cannot be met by competition or the doctrine of laissez alone. Legislation or compulsory arbitration are out of the question. Public opinion, he thought, in addition to some method of getting the contending parties together for a 'peaceable settlement, is the most potent factor. M. M- Garland, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, treated of the sliding scale system and its workings. He said: - • ■ The amalgamated Iran and steel workers have solved these .labor difficulties, and their solution has l-een in operation for twentyeight years. Thj sliding-scale system and fairness in the counsel-room have brought , about a peaceable settlement. To be sure, we ; have sometimes disagreed,-but eventually the : Ironworkers and their employers have come ; together." ■ . I Carroll D. Wright, United States ' labor commissioner, discussed the “Distinction Between Compulsory and Voluntary Arbitration," "Distinction Between Compulsory Arbitration and Public Investigation of Labor Disputes" and “Distinction Between Adjudication of Past Contracts and Settlement of Future Ones.” He said that the labor question broadly stated simply means a struggle for a higher standard of living. A strike in itself is simply a protest against changing conditions adversely. It is only through conflict that good ever comes in this world. So the labor conflict means the uplifting of the laboring man and' the bettering of his condition. There should always pre cede arbitration, be said, an attempt at conciliation. Compulsory arbitration is not to be thought of- A law compelling workmen or employers to accede to a decree of the court under penalty could not l»e enforced. Mr. Wright believed in public investigation. Publicity is always salutary. Let the responsibility for the troubles be fixed, he said, and public opinion, will do the rest It is more potent Gian a mandate of the courts. Prof. Adams, secretary of the interstate commerce commission, read a paper on “Economics of Arbitration. There could be nd industrial liberty without industrial own'eriihip of property, accordingHo his views. He recog- ! nized, but two classes of persons—the property holders and those who have no property. Without proprietorship the labor question could never be solved. There existed no interest common to all laborers. Each trade had its own interests and no combination of all trades was possible. No more was a great labor party a possibility. .William H. Sayward, of Boaton. aefr retary of the Natiocal Association of Builders, 1 spoke on “The Relation Between Employer and Employe in thg' Building Trades" The workmejL-'fie declared, have never applied lo employers for sympathy: it is sole justice that workmen want. The interests of employer and workman are not identical. Theif relations are of the buyer and seller. As a final remedy the speaker advocated organization of both employers and workingmen which would lead to conferences and ( agreements between the twoolassas./ As a snbstivite for conciliation and arbitration, as generally accepted, the speak* would anbstitnte primary agreements and thus do away with any causes for trouble- Cure the causes for all strife instead of stopping individual cases. “Necessity for Mutual Organization was the subject assigned Samuel Gompera. president of *he Amerisan Federation of paV?r> He that

the man who assisted, in any way, the org-anization of labor was a publie benefactor, inasmuch as organization assisted in conciliation and arbitration. He continued: “The strike Is but one of the eruptions of the labor movement and one of the infrequent occurrences considered beside the great work that the organization of labor performs, and even these strikes men and women who are honest desire zealously to see entirely eliminated or reduced in number. “As one who has been intimately and closely connected with the labor movement for more than thirty years—from boyhood—l say to you that I have yet to receive a copy of the constitution of any general organization or local organization of labor which has not the provision in It contained that before any strike shall be undertaken, conciliation or arbitration shall te tried. "To urge arbitration previous to the organization of labor simply means the destruction ' of the interests of labor. Compulsory arbitrs- i tlon—compulsory arbitration? Not if the , workingmen of America know it. I would say to you as one who is a lawabiding citizen, as one who reveres the institutions under which we live, as one who wants to help in handing down the republic of oiir country to our children and to posterity unimpaired, but Improved, if we can, I would say that 1 would advise my fellow workmen and women to rise and resist by every means within their power any attempt to force com- i pulsory arbitration upon them. f A Commission Favored. At the meeting of the speakers and the conference Committee of the federation after the - adjournment of the congress the following resolution was parsed: "Having been requested by the subcommit- , tee of the Civic Federation of Chicago having tn i charge the conference of arbitration and con- | ■cillation to.ojfer suggestions as to the trend and value of the congress. as what might best perpetuate its influence, the parties who have i been asked to present papers at the confer- i ence do suggest and recommend to the said subcommittee to report back to the Civic j Federation that a larger national commission be established through the Civic Federation of ' Chicago for the purpose of procuring the wider , application of principles discussed at this congress." REPLY OF MANAGERS. Strike ’ Commissioners’ Report Severely Criticised—Wright's Defense. Chicago, Nov. 15.—The Railway Age in its next issue w’iH contain a reply ' to the report of the United States j strike commissioners, purporting to voice the sentiments of the managers, against whom a portion of the report is directed. Many stateo|ents contained in the report j are, the judgment of the disproved, some by direct quotation from other portions of the same ■ report. The main points objected to and against which seemingly strong arguments are adduced are as follows: (1) That "until the railroads set the example a general union of railroad employes was never attempted." (2) That “the cut in wages at Pullman “averaged about 25 per cent” (3) That “throughout the strike the strife was simply over handling Pullman cars, the men being ready to do their duty otherwise.' (A) That“there j is no evidence before the commission that the officers of the American Railway union at any time participated in or advised intimidation, violence or destruction of property." ' ».> After the general charge that the in- ; accuracies and errors of the report I range all the .way from' “the inaccurate quotation of cgmparatively ’ trivial figures to false generaliza- ' tions as to the whole scope and essence of the trouble." and stating that "it would be equally°easy to pillory the cheap levity with which the commission treats the educational institutions and the ‘esthetic arid sanitary’ features of Pullman." the reply concludes in the following words: “Biit these things—errors of. taste* or fallacies in theory S-will be apparent enough to the general reader. The curious accident that , the misstatements of facts are all on the. same side—all tending to throw, discredit upon the corporations and to increase the bitterness of the laboring classes against capita*!—is an accident from which one would prefer to draw no inferences. 4 “One conclusion only may be ikavn. which Is that, no matter on what side tSi errors are. the mere existence of such errors, so many and some of such enormity, alone suffices to make the report entirely worthless and 1 discreditable as a public document:"discreditable alike to the commissioners themselves and to the country." y ■s Chicago, Nov, 16. —Speaking of the criticisms passed on the report of the federal strike commission on the recent strike, reports the Chicago Record, Carroll D, Wright, United States commissioner of labor, said: "I do not care to reply to these criticisms in detail I have not read theHfefarefully, and to answer them would be as unfair to the critics as they have been to me They have evidently not read the report. It Is a careful. Jtra.gh*-forward.,non-partisan statement ot the circumstances as we found them. If any unprejudiced person hail gone in with us and followed the testimony as we followed it he cojild not have avoided coming out where we did. The report is its own best answer to all charges Those who object to it do so because their own part in the matters under discussion have been bare and because they have beet hard hit by the disclosure of the truth. The report has been better received than. I had expected. By and by. when all the criticisms are in. I shalj publicly answer them, la a written reply.” , ■ < BIDS ARE SOUGHT. Circular Announcing the New Bond Issue Is Published. Washington, Nov. 15. —The following circular was issued Tuesday afternoon inviting proposals for 5 per cent bonds: ■Treasury Department. Nov.lS.lM.— By virtue of the authority contained in the act ot congress entitled ’an' act to provide for the resumption of specie payments approved January 14. 181®. the secretary of the treasury hereby gives public notice that ' sealed proposals will.be received at the treasury department, office of the secretary, up til 12 o’clock, noon, on the '-'lib day of November. 1894. for United States S per cent, bonds, tn either registered or coupon form, dated February 1. ISM. redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government, after ten years from the date of their issue, and bearing interest payable quarterly in coin at the rate of S per centum per annum. Bidders whose proposals are accepted will be required to pay 20 percent, tn gold coin or gold certificates upon the amount of their blds.” The amount of bonds to be issued is 350.000.000. No set price is fixed upon, arid it is thought that there will be less difficulty in floating the new loan than was experienced in disposing of the last issue, owing to more wffret feeling in financial centers than existed a year ago. The president will, in his message, it Is said, urge congress to authorize the sale of bonds drawing S)ii or 3 per per cent, on long time and in small denominations. Such bonds would, it is believed, be more popular than those which must be sold at a heavy premium to insure the government against pay* ing more, than the current rate of interest ■ .

I o/ SrO /° i of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the ekrlier stages of the disease, be cured. This may : seem like a bold assertion to i' those familiar only with the means generollv in use for its treatment ; as. nasty codI liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract j of malt, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphites and such like palliatives. Although by many believed to be incurable, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its i earlier stages, coraumption is a curable I, disease. Not every case, but a large tentage of cases, and we believe,/rtZ/v-pl per cent, are ciired by Dr. Pierce's Golden l Medical Discovery, even after the disease i has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercular matter), great loss of flesh j and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that Hundreds of such cases reported V-»—cured by “ Golden Medical Discb*Gjy ’Uwerrgetniine cases of that dread ? You need not take our word for itujgfv have, in nearly every instance, been slTpwr.ounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, : who have no interest whatever -in misrepresenting them., and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery.” but who have been forced to confers that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all otjier medicines with which they 3 are acquainted. Nasty codliver oil and its filthy “emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time.' Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophosphites had also been faithfully tried in vatm The photographs of a large number <#f those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering couglis, c asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps.
