"THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY... . THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of «he other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ©7 Im order to avold delays, on ac- count of personal absence, tetters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorini or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. ——_——_————————————— With the coming of every new phase in the industrial problem in this country there appear suggestions of compulsory arbitra- tion either by the state or by the general government. Men who are credited with the possession of sound sense insist that only in such arbitration can there be found remedy for such conditions as now afflict the laborer and the capitalist, and those who are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon both classes; although it should be evident to every practical mind that arbi- tration of the compulsory sort is abso- lutely useless. If there is disagreement be- tween employer and employed, and the two parties assent to be governed by the con- Glusions and advice of a disinterested media- tor, then the arbitration theory becomes Practically valuable, and only then. Sup- ose, for instance, that Congress were, out of the fathomless depths of its wisdom, to evolve a statute which should bring into @xistence a board of arbitration empowered to settle all differences of opinion between capital and labor. Suppose a strike in a large factory because the employer refuses to increase wages or reduce the hours of toil. The board of compulsory arbitration then notifies the disagreeing parties that it will sit at a certain time in a certain Diace. Suppose—as would most frequently occur—that neither the employer nor the workmen sought arbitration, and refused to sanction the proceedings. Would the recal- citrant witnesses be imprisoned until they consented to taik? But, supposing that they @id testify, what power known to mankind and applicable in this age among this peo- ple could compel either of the parties to| @bide by the decision of the board? The Sovernment's representatives might come to the conclusion that the employer was at fault, and would notify him that he must at once accede to the wishes of his one-time employes; but how could he be compelled to open his factory doors if he had made up his min* to keep them shut? He might be Adjudged guilty of contempt, but the chances are that his factory would remain closed, just the same. Or, if the verdict should be against the working people and they be notified to return to their employ- ment, would incarceration follow the re- fusal that would almost surely be conse- @Quent upon the finding of the court? It would not be an easy thing to provide prison accommodations for five or’ six thous and factory hands, and there would be some difficulty in securing conviction, any- how. The compulsory arbitration proposi- tion is ridiculous in the extreme, and it is surprising that so many men in public life should discuss it seriously. It is impossible of application—absurd, unreasonable, im- pPracticabie, irzational, nonsensical. a A remarkable exhibition of that which is commonly celled “nerve” is that-afforded by the horse-racing philanthrepist, George H. Engeman, president of the Ivy City Jockey Club. When Mr. Engeman inau- gurated the so-called sport of winter-racing @t the Ivy City track he procured from the District authorities a license, for which he paid the cu It will be remem- bered by many that Mr. Engeman was not content with mere ‘Forse-racing; it was essential to the success of his enterprise that there be bookmaking cnd a good deal ef it. But to this decidedly objectionable feature the United States District attorney took positive exception and finally suc- ceeded in causing the indictment of Mr. Engeman and several of his associates for Violation of an anti-gambling law of the existence of which Mr.” Eageman did not then seem to be aware. That action closed the track, and now Mr. Engeman insists that the District Commissioners should cause to be returned to him the license fe he paid. This the Commissioners will not do, for against the demand of Mr. Enge- man is their own common sense, the opin- fon of the attorney for the District and the great bulk of public sentiment. The law does not contemplate any prohibition of racing, and as Mr. Engeman’s license Merely gave him the privilege to conduct the race-meeting—something he has not Seen fit to do since the bunco bookmaking Was stopped—he is, in the language of the attorney's opinion, “to be treatéd as volun-j tarily abandoning the sport for which he procured the licens a The general public is not half as much interested in either the railroad companies or their striking employes as it is in itself. For a few days the public may view with comparative unconcern and philosophic im- partiality the tactics of fiercely antagoniz- ing organizations, but when great inconven fence ensues, when mails are delayed, pas- ®engers stranded and business the whole country over paralyzed, then the public is @pt to give expression to its opinions in a Vigorous and unmistakabiy earnest fashion, end if the conditions of which it complains &@re not speedily amended there follows an explo: in ich somebody—and that diplomacy they may be suave and eppar- ently full of the most tender gentleness, still they are ready at a moment to pro- tect what they may regard as their prerog- atives and to signally resist in the most vigorous manner any tendency that another nation may display to intrude upon them. Consequently, while the republic at present enjoys relations of a cordial nature with every other government in the world, no one eqn tell how long such a desirable state of affairs will continue. With this view of the Question in mind it is the duty of the na- Monal legislature to provide means by which the further decadence of our reacoast defenses may be prevented. The dismantled forts that dot the Atlantic coast from Lou- isiana to the Delaware river, and whose garrisons new consist of a corporal’s gvard here and a sergeant’s squad there, should be immediately remodelled and recon- structed and equipped with modern arma- ment and manned by soldiers sufficient to make them useful in time of trouble. The inauguration of such a system of public works would not only assure the future safety of our wealthy and populous sea- coast cities, but it would give employment to thousands of the laborers who are now clamoring for work, and to whose enforced idleness the depressed condition of the country is due as much as to any other cause. The present is the best time for the consideration of this momentous subject and the attention of Congress is called to the advisability of taking it up. ———_~--____ Until yesterday it was not supposed that the police would have anything more to do on the “Glorious Fourth” than to avoid the | mines laid for them by the mischievous small boy or to assist the fire department in the work it invariably has to do on that joyful holiday, but it now appears likely that a few of the club-swingers will have to go to the east front of the Capitol to- morrow afternoon to remove from the steps the body of one R. S. Tharin, who pro- poses to exercise the liberty of speech at | that time and place. Sensible readers of | the newspapers must long ago have reached the conclusion that there is no right in- herent in the citizen to address the multi- tude from any portion of the Capitol or within the Capitol grounds, and that ef- forts to be eloquent within the proscribed territory can only result in the indignity of arrest and probable imprisonment. It is quite possible that Mr. Tharin is in search of notoriety; if a reasonable term im the workhouse can be so regarded it is likely that Mr. Tharin may succeed in his quest. — ee -——_ ‘When the Senate can find an unoccupied minute or two, the time might be put to ad- vantageous use in the passage of Senator | Gallinger's bil requiring local street rail- | Way companies whose cars are operated by mechanical motors to equip each car with a | fender—the best obtainable fender—for the | protection and preservation of life and limb. | There have been many serious accidents in | this city that would not have been at all | serious had there been fenders on the cars.
