BEAUTIES OF ARBITRATION A Proporition Looking to Settlement of Present Labor Troubles, REASON A SURE ANTIDOTE FOR RIOTS. Members of the Central Labor Union Express Conservative Views on the Lab r Situation—A smelter Talks. While the conference between the council committee and the proprietors of the Omaha and Grant smelter company held Monday afternoon may not resultin the solution of the problem of how to settle the present labor troubies it has set many of the labor leadors to thinking, These men who have had experience in_labor organizations from their very beginning have no hesitancy io stating that had cool and deliverate action been tuken ten days ago, some of the difficul- at least, could bave been averted, W. B. Musser,vice president of the Central labor union, was seen yesterday and in an interview said “Ihave bee connected with labor organi- zations for years. In fact I might state that 1 was one of the prime movers for a ten-hour At that time people denounced me as a for advocating a short day, went so far ns to argue that if the hours of labor were reduced it of the country. i many locali- and gloowy for would result 1n the ruination Strikes followed strikes and ties the outlook was dismal the ing man, ns there was not one bright star in his horizon, For some time every- thing wus in a turmoil and business interests as not rumed, and after the fivst flurry of excitement had subs business resumed its proper channels af was not long before everything was running as smoothly ns before when sixteen and eighteen hours constituted a working day. “Iu those early days I demanded that labor should have its rights, but in howes and upon tho rostrum. as now, I talked and argued ag st strikes. I bave alw opposcd them and always shall us my pas experience leads me to believe that matter can better bo settled by delibernte arbitra- tion thun by force. Not only this, but a strike 15 a serious thing for a community in which it occurs. It hurts business; it hurts tho laborer, the employer and the commun- ity. Ifthe lnborer wins, he loscs in the end and for this renson I have always lifted my voice against force in settling matters of dif- ference. You ask my opinion of the present trou- bles. Of course my sympathics are with the men who toil, and why should they mov bet For forty years I have done my share of manual labor. I have scen all phases of human life and human existence, I nave scen men labor at the car- penter's bench for sixteen hours out of tae twenty-four and earn not to exceed £1.25 per day, but that is not the question, It was known weeks azo that the eight- hour law would go into effect August 1 and that trouble might follov, Even then 1 stood up aud advocated an arbitration. If that could not. be had, i wanted o test of the law at the carlicst possible moment, that conflicting intcrests might not suffer, but 1 regret to say that I met with opposition. Tt came when the important question could kuow no longer be evaded, and you the result. Mass meetings were held and speakers went among tne work firing their hearts aud njecting hatred into their veins until it secmed that a riot and bloodshed was but Astepaway. When matters arrived at this step | did riot shirk my duty, but refused to attend and speak at the wass meetings. I do not want to denounce any of those sponkers, but 1 am forced to admit that many of tho speechies were anarchistic aud ouly fanned tho flames of anger and hatred that rankled in tho breasts of some of tho luborers. At some of the meetings very unkind things have been sud; thiugs that should havo beon unsaid, and but for the in- terference of cool-minded men there wonld hiave been committed acts that would have caused the men to have blushed with shume. “fad theso men & right to speak to the crowds! Yes, and no. They bad a right because this cotntry gives every man the frecdom of speech. No, becuuse they were out of plan and were doing us sarable injury every tiwe they ovened e mouths, “From the start 1 was opnosed to v meetings, as you cannot bandlo a mixed crowd. The “proper way would have becn as soon as the dificuities arose to have called together organizations that felt - grieved, Let them have appointed their committees and then these committes could have worked to a plan of action and reported to the main body. 1f this course had been ursued, I do not thing there would havo been any strike. There might have been a diference of opinion but by some concessions matters could have been righted ns they were between tho brick layers and the contractors. In this opinion T am not alone, as mwany of the members of our order agree with me. “To arbittate now with _reference to the smelter trouble would be folly, as the matter has gono too far, and nothing remains but to await the action of the courts in iesting tho constitutionality of the eight hour law.” In veferring to a possible adjustment of the striking smolters' troubles, John Jenkins said: 1 believe that the Cen- tral labor union is composed of representi- tive men, who have the power to bring the existence of these troubles to an end, And if & meoting was called by the president do- manding the uttendance of each and eve member of that organization that a solution could be reached by o discussion through that body. The public infers that the actions of certain self-constituted labor leaders, whose stock and capital Just now lies'in the fact that they have and seo a greater remuner ation for their services by keeping up a con- tinual ogitation, has not in view the houest settloment of the presenc difficulties, From what I know of the character of the chairman of the Central lator union, Iam satistied that he desires that all of his actions shall redound to the benefit of organized labor; that o will not use his position to plense the demaguoge, but will relieve the diiculties under which labor suffers, and thut his aim i3 toadvance,and not retrogrado wll which contributes te the welfuro of hon- est und legitimate workmen. I am of the opmion that the troubles will find their solution by tho interforence ot a disinterested party who should be appoint- ed ut such a meeting. The troubles botween 1o bricklayers and contractors plainly shows that it was through mediation that a settle- ment was reached, therefore lot the smelting men placo their case, as well as Mr, Barton, In the hands of the Central labor union, und [ guarantco that in a very short time we' will sce the smoke issuing from the stacks of the amelting works. Concessions on both- sides must be mado to achicve any settlement of the difiiculty.” Harry Easton, presidont of the Central labor union, in speaking of the method pro- posed by President Barton, of the swelter, and conimitteo of councilmen, said the labor union had nothing to do with that matter and did not care what was done. Thoy had agread to make a test caso with Samuel Rees as the defondant and proposed to push the matter to finul decision, 1f the law was constitutional it should be enforced and if it was not, well and good. With reference to the actions of certain labor agitators during the smelter troubies, Mr. Easton said these men acted as individ: uals aud not as representatives of tho Contral uothing to d labor union. Thut body did not. authorize thom to make any statements or tako any action and b alona were responsible for the own actions, he swelter mew's organization was not under the control of the Central labor union, and that body bad no control over their movements. . When asked about the anarchistic utter- ances attributed to one of the sveakers at the meeting Monaay uignt, Mr, Easton said the Central labor uiilou would never endorse any such sentiments, Tne uniou was in fuvor of peaceable measures alwavs and opposed to violence. B. . Overull, one of the vice-presidents of the Central labor union, voiced the souti- meuts expressed by Mr. Easton. Ho said the Contral labor union was not responsible for the utterances or actions of ugitators, A Smelter Talks, A sympathizer with the smelting works men baid vesterday: *This, as I have said many jimes is not a strike. It is a lockout. There men, though, ought to have struck, because they are the hardest worked men in town, The statement of the company to the con- trary notwithstanding, these men, at differ- times and _for differont poriods, have to % cleven hours and thirteen hours per When the change is made from one shift to another, the whole force of men has to work twenty-four hours without stop- ping. I have seen the men attending to their duty with a shovel iu one hand and a crust of bread in the other. The highest priced man down there gets only §2.25 per day, the next highest gets only &) whilo the others get $1.75 per day. ‘Tho last set haul heavy pots of molten refuse all day—work hard enough to break down a horse, That is for eloven hours & day.

Then beis out in tho open air and, bo- sides, his work 18 never more than a man may do. Down at the smelter he is ronsted to death and has work of the hardest kind. This 1s true of the other men. They all want to work fewer hours with living wages, IFor the £2.25 men they ask $2,00 for eight hours’ work; for the £2.00 mea they ask £1.35; for tho 8135 men they ask §1.65, and for all the others a reduction of 25 cents per day. No sensible maa will say not sonable terms.

Oursis a thoroughly practical no mining region, because thoro is plenty of timher, fino streams of water, and in’ the valleys tho land is very fertile, producing abundant_ oat, wheat, bartey and potato crops, and in fact'almost anything ex- cept corn. “Hill City is growing rapidly, although it has the appearance of having sprung into ox- istence in u night; atl the houses being framo structures.

Sturgis, president of the Typo- graphical union, was seen by n BEE reporter yesterday und asked if the union had sent out the circular or unything like it. “Yes, there hus been a civeular sent out,” said Mr. Sturgis, ‘'setting forth the diffi- culty which causcd the lockout. The eircu- lar was sent to country publisher ~Did the civcy ou sent out state that the printers had agreed toa reduction of wages to correspend with the reduction in the hours of labor?” “Yes, that was about the substance of the statement.” “‘How d»> you figure it out that way?

Do you meau to say that a reduction of 82 per week for a part of the men only was a suflicient offsat for the loss Lo the eaiploy- ers of twelve hours’ work every week for each man “We figure it just this way,” said Mr. Sturgis. “This work in the job ofiices is made up of two distinct classes, straight matter and real job work. The $16 a week men have usually done the straight matter, beeause it required less skill. Now the plan that we proposed did away with the sliding scale, and puid the best men $16 per week, instead of §18. If the employcers had adopted this scale they could have had the straight matter, heretofore set up by the $16 a week men, set up by the thousand” instcad of by the day, and they would have been paying them just what thatsort of work was actually worth, without reward to the ability of the man. ' They could have put the best men on the job work at $I6 a weel, whereas they now pay the best men §1S. By following this plan, 1 believe the employers would have found that their saving in wages would have enabled the reduction in time. But they would mot meet us n any proposition as & union. Tho only thing they had to offer, was to have the men sign individual contracts and procecd as before, with no rezard for the 1aw. As members of the Typographical union our men could not du that and they were vir- tually locked out.” “Does the union propose to tike any action with rogard to the assault made upon Mr. Huynes by Baker!” Not until the case is tried in the courts, Baker and his friends claim that they will show that there was considerable provoca- tion and that Mr. Haynes was fully as ag- gressive as Baker. +Do you think the'Typographical union can afford to encourago street lights and assaults upon citizens 1 Not by any means. The union does not uphold such actions, but we propose to know the exact facts in the case before taking uc- tion. 1 havecantioned the men who are now Lociced out to bo very eareful, and to avoid all sorts of unlawful demonstrations. Printers, though, are like other men—thoy will get angry sometimes and do things that the A does not uphold.” Thicre seems to be but little chauge in_ the situation. ‘The employing printers claim they have about Il the men they need, but union men say that thie is not true. Iheso men who come here from abroad only work a day or two,” said Mr. Sturais, “until they learn the situation and then they quit and leave town.
