I FIXED CODE REQUIRED FOR SETTLEMENT Cval Commisssion Suggests This in Report to Pres- ident ' ONE YARDSTICK| If Industrial Peace Is Hoped/ For Some Method Must Be Found Washington, Sept. 10.—Comparing the controversy in the coal ‘situation to that aver slavery just prior to the Civil war, the United States Coal | Commission declared in a renort sub- | mitted to President Coolidge today that the national interest required es- tablishment of a fixed code for set- tlement of this and other industrial cisp utes, Regardless of the inherent rights peseessed by both sides, the Commis- sion held, the necessity of coal to the gereral public makes it incurabent upon both opérators and workers “to make some personal sacrifices in the interest of the commonwealth. The outbreak at Herrin, Ill., in June, and the more recent dis- turbance in the West Virginia fields were cited as indieative of the ser- ious aspect the general situation has taken. The Commission reviewed the history of both cases in detuil but de- clined to fix responsibility further than to say the serious results might be attributed to the intense passions which had been gradually fostered among the members of the two op: posing camps, and to the attituds of the communities involved toward lan and order. “If industrial peace is to be hoped for,” the Commission said, “then some method must be found to guar! antee, as near as fallible human judg- ment may, equally ‘exact justice to capital, to labor and to the public. There must be one yardstick adopted by which all controverted questions are to be measured. Public interest demands, that certain fixed principles shall be recognized by both capital and labor as this yardstick.” Declaring it would be better for the participants themselyes to work out the exact terms of the code, the Commission set forth as the frame- work, the following principle: : 1. No contract is of ‘any valid bind- ing force in America which has not beert freely and voluntarily entered into. t 2. The right of a man to work when, where, for whom and under what conditions and at what wage he chooses, so long as he elects to as- sert his individual right, mut never be interferred with and the State must furnish |him protection and peace while he exercises this right. 8. Ina free government men have a right to combine themselves to- gether into organizations for collect- ive bargaining with reference to terms and conditions under which they will work; they must exercise this right without force and intimida- tion, and must not interfere with the right of the man who chooses to dis- pose of his time individually. 4. Society has a right to fix a limitation beyond which it will not permit either these de facto or de jure organizations. to ge. - 5. There is an implied duty upon corporations “to pay the humblest of its employes who is able-bodied, will- ing and competent, and who gives an honest day's work, sufficient wage to enable that person and his family to live in accordance with the standards of American life, and to pay in addi- tion thereto for skill and experi- ence,” \6. The general public has,a right to demand of its government that it shall,not freeze in the midst of an abundance of coal. Unless capital and Jabor adopt methods that will furnish to the public coal when needed, “an outraged public sentiment will fur- nish the supply by either the army ur the penitentiary.” When contracts have been vol- untarily entered into “the indystry itself should provide boards of arbi- tration, both local and appellate, to speedily dispose of causes in accord- ance with the terms of the contract und the principles herein set out.” While the report dealt with the coal industry. generally, the ,commis- sion gave particular attention to the Present situation. Most of the indus- trial friction which has operated to stop the machinery of production, and frequently resulted in violence and bloodshed, the Commission as- cribed to the following basic .causes:, Disputes as to what are popularly known as the civil rights of Amer- ican citizens, Practical breach of these rights in Mrs. Rupert Hughes, wife of the Rey.

OPPOSED TO LEGALIZED TRISH ARMY Both Labor and Conservative Members of the Dail Are Critizing 1 , Dublin, Sept, 10.—A bill to legalize the Irish National Army, which hith- erto has operated without legislative authority, has just been framed and is the subject of much criticism from both Labor and Conservative mem- bers in the Dail. The measure con- stitutes an army code similar to the King’s regulations for the British army, and would be effective only for one year. At the end of that time, the bill provides, the army question may be reconsidered. -Labor leaders oppose the measure because of the distinction between officers and men, while the Conser- tinue all week. t e Given Men's Genuine ecu Gunton’ aa } ‘ : Men’s $8.00 Dress Shirts —_——[VW$<_$—$ ‘ SEPTEMBER 10, 1923 Ministry miade a separate and,civ.!- ian’ office.”~ ¢ If the measure, which is know: 4s the “Defence Fortes Bill” passes, it will give the army a legal status for the first time.
