THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 1. 1887, STATE LABOR ARBITRATION. Extent of Legal Machinery Oreated to Set- tle Disputes. THE RESULTS OF AGITATION, What Has Been Accomplished By Boards of Labor Commissioners in Several States During the Recent Years. Our Labor Laws, W York, June 50.—|Special to the ~The labor agitation of recent years has hud a much larger influence on the shap- ing of laws than s genecrally thought— especlally in the direction of providing machinery for arbitration. Six states within four years have established tribunals to con- duct arbitration. Most of those have been created within two years, and two states, within the latter period, have established sfate boards with salaried mem? portant powers. e rapld form of industrial regulation and the decided tendency It is already manifestiag to become an actual interference with the employer's management of his own business, is likely to prove the most radical departure yet made from the time-honored policy of religiously maintaining the separation of state and in- dustry. 1f the present tendency to regulate the economie activities by government becomes an accepted policy, it will be because, with natural resources appropriated and a great working population depending wholly on wages, industrial conditions have them- selves undergone a radical change. The only question th age voter will ask about state arbitration and the amount and Kkind of nower the ard of arbitration should exercise will be the purely praetical question HOW DOES [T WORK ‘The tribunals so far created are of three tyves and of various degrees of authority, F'he simplest type is a local board brought fato e inan oflicial way for a specifie, temporary occasion, with which it expires. local board ovided for by the New Jersey law of 1850 is the best example of this type. Itis constituted by the azreement of an emplover and his own employes, each party selecting one arbitrator and those twoa third, It arbitrates the single case for which it was formed and then expires unless itis cted to hear some other dispute also. Ite decision is final on the questions sub- mitted and binding. Another type is the local board created for a certain period and ‘authorized to hear any case properly brought Dbefore it within that time. ‘The Ohlo law of 8% provides for tribunals of this kind, continuing in existence one year from the date of the license creating it and being em- powered to take jurisdiction of any dispute etween employers or workmen within that time, whetlier” brought before it by the that originally petitioned for the ribunal, by others, or even by parties from another country where no such tribunal exists, The third type is the permanent state board, composed of laried members ap- nted tor definite terms and empowered to hear cases anywhere within the common- alth, Such’ boards were created in New York and Massachusetts in 18%. Local boards also are proyided for in these stafes. In Pennsylvania, Kansas, New York and Massachusetts the tribunals approach either the New Jersey or the Ohio type, with some distinctive features in each stata, In Massachusetts, as in New Jersey, the local Dboard Is constituted by the mere ‘agreement ot the parties interested. 1n th st named it derives its authority from a cnumy or other lo2al court. 'The luuh\ boards are formed, according to the V act of 1835, under licen. of common ples upon the petition of five employ and fifty men. The pro- c4‘(|lll(- is similar in 5\’\||~l(|fl and Ohio, but in Now York the board is formed first and_ then &ets its license from the judge of the count court. The com ion'ot the board is in all cnses preseribed by law. [n Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kansas there must be an equal rep resentation of employers and workuien, the names of the perssons selected being given in the betition to the -~ court. there is a disagreement the case goes to an umpire the law wisely viding that the umpire shall be named pe the arbitration bexins, In Mas in New Jersey each party selects an arbitra- tor and those two a thir k recog- nizes the labor organi: The Imul board consists of five persons. When the emplo ed aro members in good standing of an organization that is repre- eented by delogates in acentral body (like the Central Labor union of New York city) that body names two arbitrators, "If the em- ployes belong to no organization they choose heir two arbitrators themselves by a major- 1ty vote. ‘Two arbitrators are named by the em,»lnyl‘r or employes and the four so se- ed choose the fiith, There s a close rela- tion between the degrees of PEEMANA 1ESE TRINUNALS are expected to enjoy and the magnitude of the cases presumed to come befors them. In Massachusetts, for example, wl ale employer of aS many as twenty-five men may oln with them in creating a “legal ibunal he tribunal ceases to exist when it renders {ts decision, 1n Pennsylvania, on the other hand, the expectation of the framers of the aw evidently was that the tribunal would created only to deal with disputes involv- ng large interests, since tive employers and fty workmen must ‘uln in the petition to he court and when the tribunal Is created it may continue to arbitrate for the same par- ties Indefinitely, In Ohio the petition must healgnud h{m"y workmen and four em- r er by four employ! r! employing not ess lh-n ten men each, or by one employer of at least forty men and the tribunal, as‘we ave seen, exists for a year, None of these boards have any power to act until a case is voluntarily submitted, with 5\10« fications in writing, li? the parties to the dispute. 'Then the proceednre is with legal formality; subpenas may be issued. wit- nesses examined and books demanded. The dicision is tinal and binaing in New Jersey, Ohioand Kansas. In Ohio the decision of &n umpire is made a matter of record in the county court whence judgement and process may issue to enforee it. In Massacliusetts mdecision has whatever binding etfect has been agreed on before hand. A Pennsylva- nia umpire's decision is binding in all mat- ters but future wages, that becomes binding it the decision is accepted by both parties and may then be enforead by the courts.

Voluntary arbitration in the Hoch- ing valley with the Hon, Allen G. Thurman for umpire, by which wages were advanced 8ixty cents a ton at the close of 1885, and the joint arbitration of the operators and miners ©f Ohio, Indiana, 1llinois, Pennsylvania and West Virginia established in February 1885, have resulted 5o well that possibly there will esort to the county tribunals in .

BALTIMORE, June 30.—~The Sun has a long letter from J Davis, in reference to the re- turn of the southern battle flags. He thinks its object now would be to unite the people of the north and south, ery slgn of the past conflict should as faras practicable be obliterated. To retain asa pointof pride the captured flags would be equivalent to re- newed exultation. “Our men.” says he, “fought for a prin and that they have not surrendered, but rather hoplessly lived to see the good sense of northern nen revert to the teach- ings of their sires, and reestablish the government according to the constitution on which it was founded.” That is the only victory which would be tothem and their children, & thing to be prized and gloritied,” One element of value in the proposition to return to both north and south the flazs now in the war department, Davis s; is that the restoratien would be a declaration such as the old Romans made, that there should be no triumph for victory won in civil war, e thinks the excitement over the matter very much like a tempest in a_teapot. — - Iowa Supreme Court Decisions, DEs Morves, Ia,, Special Tele- gram to the he supreme court ren- dered the fnllawhu: decisions to-day; State of Iowa vs. Jasper N.

J. Hunt, of the painters’ union, was gorry the meeting was not stronger and more representative. The situation in Omaha appeared to him to be that if the laboring men did not getto work and organize and assert their rights as men, they must go to the wall. It was necessary now more than eyer for the men to insist upon receiving a fair compensation for their labor, and to obtain this the difter- ent unions must work together. If they did not look out for themselves the cap- italists with their ten, fifty and one hun- dred thousana dollars would never make any move in their favor, he chairman said that in all his ex- perience he had never known a city vas in such an unsatis instead of working ln-rvlhvr for the um\ mon good of all, did ull in_their power to crush and antuhilate cach other.

Fred Tschantee Seriously Hurt By F. Himebaugh, Fred Tschantee, a puddler employed at the smelting works, was brought into the central station last evening badly cut about the head and bruised about the body. He had been in a fight with F, Himebaugh, a teamster, who was also brought in and locked up. The city physician dressed Tschantee's wounds, after which he was sent home. He is supposed to be dangerously hurt. The two men live in the same house near the south end of the Sixteenth streot viaduct. Tschantee is a small man and is in poor health. He has been in the country to recuperate and during his absence his and the Himebaugh families quarrelled cut each other’s clotheslines and did si ilar neighborly acts.
