AGilNST ARBITRATION
Of the Compulsory Kind as a Eeturn
to the Middle Ages.
J
THE IMPfiAOTIGABLE FEATURES
Which Would Surely Be Injurious to Both
I afcor and Capital.
TIEWS ADVANCED BY JAMES "W. BEEEN
To the Editor orThe Dispatch:
These are the days of nostrums and
and "cure alls" ior labor troubles. All, or
nearly all, the pretended remedies sug
gested are the merest "makeshifts," and in
no proper sense meet the difficulties of the
situation. "More legislation" is the fav
orite fad. This craze for remedial legisla
tion is not confined to amateur political
economists, or every-day harmless cranks,
but doctrinaires, Coneressmen, judges, and
must it be said, well informed editors hare
been more or less smitten with the craze.
If a mob disregards the relations of meura
and tuum and defies the potse (don't)
come at its, the cry goes up Jrom the multi
tude: "Give us more stringent legislation
against mobs." If a corporation is insolent
in the assertion of its rights, and trifles with
the peace of the community, "law aud or
der" representatives demand more legisla
tion to curb these bloated monopolies.
If a lather slugs the destroyer of his
daughter's honor there is a quick demand
for legislation that will prevent people tak
ing the law in their own hands. If a jury
acquits the "aforesaid" there is an urgent
call tor a "remodeling of the jury system."
"When labor seems to be getting the worst
of it in the "scale," there is a cry for more
legislation in the interest of the "wurrick
ingman." If a bad candidate is eleeted let
us have a new ballot law. even if it be so
complex and Baker-like that few under
stand it. Now, it is well, of course, to have
just laws and to have them justly adminis
tered, in which event there would be
neither riots, nor need of rioters. Many of
these alleged remedies are the merest "bun
combe." As "cure-alls" yon might as well
ofier a man who is collapsing with the
cramps an unripe cucumber. The remedy
only aggravates the disorder.
The latest Curt-All Offered.
And now that the land has been given
, over temporarily to mobs of various kinds,
arbitration is suggested not the old
fashioned "go-as-you-please-accept-if-you-will"
kind, but a new copper-riveted arti
cle dubbed "Compulsory Arbitration."
The only trouble with it is that, like
like Grandfather's clock with the pendulum
out, it will not work. Such legislation
would not only, to put it mildly, be of
doubtful constitutionality, but in its very
nature it "would be inoperative and
unjust, and calculated to smash
things. As a mere exercise of
sovereignty, the Legislature might pass such
a law, just as it might pass a law declaring
that six inches make a foot, but that would
be the end of it In this part of the nine
teenth century you can't, even if a Henry
George or Jack Cade .Legislature should
pass it,inforce a law at war with (1) iudivid
I ual right and (2) industrial freedom, and
rcersethe jurisprudence of centuries. I
j will select two hypothetical cases of
an employer and employe under such an
j act: Suppose the "compulsory" tribunal
decides that the employer must pay $6 per
ton for puddling.
The employer may say: "This is a per
version ot Ian and an infringement on mv
individual freedom. 1 have an equal
right to get labor on the same terms as other
employers, but if I must par ?6 where my
"Eastern competitor pays but $4, the consti
tutional 'equality' disappears. If I pay ?6
I will lose money. Is it the function of
legislation to compel its citizens to lose
money on investments they canuot control?
In justice to me, the State that fixes the
Mages should at least guarantee me a fair
profit. If its interference causes me a loss
should it not make good that loss, or can
the Commonwealth say, like Louis XIV.,
'I am the State' without any responsi
bility? Instead of being a protector or a
guarantor the State becomes a tyrant and a
promoter of panics and- industrial revolu
tions. Sara to Alarm Capital.
"So capital would engage in enterprises
under such conditions. When the State
can compel me to run my business at a loss,
it Is in a fair way to be ruined itself. If
people cannot conduct business at a profit
they- will go out ot it, and when capital
does that there will be a 'vociferous' bnt
not a 'halcyon' time of it The award of
such a tribunal in any event would be one
sided, and therefore unjust I would be
held to the award largely because I have
some tangible assets, but labor in nine cases
out ot ten could tear the 'award' to tatters
and walk out of the shop, with no liability
with 'none to molest him or make him
afraid.' In other words, the 'compulsory'
feature would not 'compulse.' "
Xow suppose on the other side that this
august tribunal fixed the puddlers wages at
$4 per ton. He may say with much lorce:
"My labor is my birthright, and it cannot
be taken from me without my consent. My
labor being my capital I have jl right to sell
it to the best advantage or to retuse to sell
it at all at the dictates ot any tribunal. It I
am a "party to an agreement of
course I will abide by its provisions.
It not, and it is a mere substitu
tion of governmental might for monopoly
might, I might as well accept one as the
other. If I must take f4 when I can get 5o.
I am a slave. Not an owned slave as in the
South pi ior to the war, but a hired slave of
the modern style. My understanding is
that the 'Emancipation Proclamation' by
Lincoln isalact If onlr the colored man was
emancipated then that isquite another thing.
However, 1 have something to say about it,
and that something is this: I will not ac
cept the decision of this 'compulsory'
tribunal, and in the expressive phrase of
one Wm. Tweed 'what are you going to do
about it?' "
What is the answer to all this? Js there
any reasonable'answer. Unless tire decree

and was as bristling with bayonets and
penalties as an lrisn penal statute, it never
could be enforced. It is the old, old story
ol one man bringing a horse to the water,
but a hundred cannot'make him drink.
Hack to the Miridln Agn.
The right "compulsorily" to fix a wage
turns back the hand on the dial of A'ngfo
Saxon progress 500 years and brings xn back
to the days when the act of Edward III.
(1350) fixed the rate of wages as follows:
Common labor, 3 pence a day or $ 7.60 a year
and loand,
Keaper, 4 pence per day.
Mower, 6 pence per day.
Thresher, 4 pence per day.
Price or pair shoes, 4 pence.
Price of lat goose, 2 pence, etc.
Act 23, of Henry XL (1445) decrees the
rate of wages:
Keaper, 5 pence per day.
Butter, 3 pence per pound.
Cheese, pence per pound.
Act of Henry VIIL lorbade purchasers to
ask more for beet than halfpence per pound,
mutton,.3 farthings.
In Eutlandshire in 1610 it was decreed
that the wages of a farm hand should be $13
a year and board. Good woman cook, 13
cents a week and board; mower, 10 pence
per day and board and this decree: s
"If anyone will not work for these wages
he must be imprisoned nntil he finds
surety."
These laws have worked both ways which
is more than can be said of some modern
legislation. The capitalist of that day was
lorbidden to pay more than a certain Tate
for commodities. Thus in 1363 William
J I Copre was punished in the pillory for rais-
I U Va n.ina nf n-Viuat Dnrl in 1 3AA. a man
ins the price ot wheat, and in 1364 a man
was punished in the pillory for giving 31
cents a bushel for wheat which was 5 cents
more than the law allowed.
Evervthingwas then on the "compulsory"
plan. Would it work now? It a toiler
must sell his toil at a rate fixed by others it
is idle to call him a freeman.
If capital must pay more wages than the
business will justifr or as railroad men
say, "than the traffic will bear" or more
than others in the same business, it unsettles
economic principles as old as Magna Charta.
le old times and old customs were possibly
gtod enough in their way and their day,
but methinks now

Pittsbueo, Aug. 10, 1892.
NOT AT ALL PRACTICABLE.
The Clilff Objection to the Scheme of Com
pulsory Arbitration An Illustration of
How It VTon'il Op-rate U Adopted.
To tbe Editor of the Dispatch!
Compulsory arbitration is not practicable,
as there can be no law passed compelling
capitalists to invest their money in any
manufacturing plant Nor can there be a
law enacted forcing a laborer to work at
any particular industry. The government
cannot say to A, you must build a rolling
mill, or to B., you mnst work in that mill.
But each A. and B. must be left to act of
their own volition. Consequently there can
be no other solution of the question of
the employment and selling of labor
except nature's great law, namely, the law
of supply and demand. The only provis
ion the Government can make is to regn
late, and that power is somewhat limited.
The Government can and does encourage the
investmentof capital in manufacturing.min
ing and commerce, and the only relief it can
give in a more direct way in favor of labor
interests is in becoming a competitor with
capitalists in the labor markets. This the
Government can do by employing both
skilled and unskilled labor extensively, in
a forceful and efficient manner in its compe
tition. As to the remedy.somuch talked of lately,
to settle the wage disputes between laborers
and capitalists by means of arbitration
(either voluntary or so-called compul
sory), the following reasons ought to be
sufficient to show the absurdity of the
tcneme:
The arbitration can be held and a de
cision reached, but how can the edict or de
cision of the tribunal, commission or board
(or whatever it might be called) be en
forced? This would on serioutfreflection be
found to be the main difficulty in the case.
Under the United States Constitution and
general system of laws it would be insur
mountable. Let us suppose a firm Smith
& Brown build an industrial establishment
and call tor 100 men (skilled or unskilled
or both). The firm offers 1 50 per day.
Tbe men ask $2 per day. They tail to agree
and the arbitrators are called: in, and tbey
decide the wages shall be $1 75. The firm
of Smith & Brown are willing to abide by
the decision, but the men refuse. Judg
ments are obtained against each of them for
damage for breach of contract and in favor
of bmith & .Brown. .Now, how will tbey
collect from any or all who refuse to pay
and who have not property over the amouut'
exempt irom sale. Ana on tire
other hand, suppose the firm of
Smith & Brown refuse to abide
the decisions. The men might by offer of
their services sue and obtain judgments
(for damage for breach of contract) and col
lect the amount the court awarded each and
all of them it the factory or mill would
sell for so much (including costs) under the
sheriff's hammer. And so to make the plan
successful each and all the hands, as well as
the firm, company or individual, must be in
a legal sense responsible in property or
their bodies would alone be the assets. 'And
the bodies under onr American system
would not be available. So we think this
ought to demonstrate the utter im
practicability of the scheme. D.W.D.I".

passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul road, was at the Monongahela
House yesterday. The sixty-eighth session
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel
lows will meet September 19, in Portland,
Ore., and Mr. Pott came to Pittsburg to
look after the business. The Trans
Continental, Trans-Missouri, Western
Passenger, Central Traffic and Trunk
Line associations have granted a
low rate. The fare from Chicago has been
fixed at $69 50. The official route is the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul and
Northern Pacific roads going out, and the
Union Pacific and Chicago and Northwest

Mr. Pott expects a big crowd of Odd Fel
lows to go from Pittsburg. His line didn't
touch the Knights Templar to Denver. The
rate, he says, was too low for any profit
