Laws ond Not Needed in I NEW YORK, hensive laws, rather than voluntary arbitration, are pecessary to “ab solutely protect everyorle aguinat imposition on the part of capital or labor,” Judge Bibert HL. , chair: man of the United States Stee) Corporation, declared in a state ment today Judge Gary plainly intimated he in accord with the recommendations made yesterday by President Wilson's industrial conference for nettiement of din putes between capital and labor. | He was a member of the previous | group that attempted to make rec: | ommendations for solution of the industrial problem. ‘The steel magnate referred to) the present labor troubles as dis putes between labor union leaders ond managers of business, He de-| clared “the public must know” that labor ufions have “decreased pro: duction, added to costa and raised the expense of living.” Complete Jurisdiction “1 venture the assertion that if the public in dispomed to absolutely protect eevryone against imposition on the part of ‘capital or labor’ it should not be dependent upon a untary arbitration, but should es tablish and administer law which will have complete jurisdiction over both groups of citizens,” he said. “The public could then rely upon the continuance, without interrup- tion, of the enforcement of law and | order, #o tlat every individual or interest shall be protected in free- non-action, #0 as there is no opposition to the statutes In force, “The employers and the body of it is for the pecuniary interest of | beth to maintain peaceful and| frieqdly relations, and every honest- minded person admits this will re- dqund to the benefit and comfort of the general public. | “At this time I think it essential | that the general public be given the oppértunity to clearly understand the exact labor situation, In the United States it is not so bad as it is made to appear by some of the public speakers and writers, particu- larly those who are not by experi- ence or otherwise qualified to testify | Arbitration ndustry---Gary, Dec. 30—Compre or to exprens opinions. “There have been instituted in the past year a good many strikes and | there have been in places disorder, | trom him riet and injury to persons and prop- erty, These strikes did not represent antagoniam between ‘capital and la- bor,’ so called. In most, if not all in- stances, they were precipitated by union labor leaders acting on their own initiative. The differences, dis putes and contests have been be tween labor union leaders and the managers of business. “In ft if any, cases has there been any serious trouble between the managers of industry and the em- ployes generally or any unreasonable claims on the part of the majority of the employes for higher wages or more favorable living conditigns whieh were not promptly and mu tually adjusted, In fact, for a long time, the employes in this country have been receiving larger compen- | sation and better working and living conditions than ever before, The large majority of the employes of this country, probably not less than 85 per cent, are not members of la- bor unions and are satisfied with their working conditions “If any have good reason for com- plaint, the employers, when informed, must and will furnish a prompt and adequate remedy. I do not wish at this time to discuss the merits or demerits of labor unions. The public generally must know in the past they have, in proportion to their influ- ence, decreased production, added to costs and raised the expense of liv- ing.” Judge Gary, in his only direct ref- erence to the industrial commission's suggestions for « tribunal to arbi- trate disputes and twelve regional boards to investigate labor differ- ences, said. present concerning the plan for ‘set- Gement of labor disputes’ reported by President Wilson's conference. I shall endeavor to take time to go over it carefully before reaching a final conclusion. It is to be hoped that whatever organization shall be agreed upon it will be made up of competent, disinterested and unpreju- diced men who will secure the confi- dence of the entire public, and that serious industrial disputes may be avoided as the result.” Gompers Is Not Satisfied ’ With Industrial Report WASHINGTON, Dec, 30.—Dinsat: | isfaction with the tentatiye report of President Wilson's industrial commission was expressed here yes terday by Samuel Gompers, head of the American Fe: ation of Labor. | In a statement issued after he had read the report in full, Gompers de- lelared that it contained eompulsory | features which were American sovereignty ship.” Gompers also criticised the confer: “repugnant to and citizen. enea for failure to recognize trade unions, and indicated his be! that the commisisnn had failed to go to bottom of the causes for indus trial unrest “Little of Interest” I have read the report; except for | its opening declaration find nothing new and | of interest,” Gompers | said. “In the opening statement the | report set forth ‘the right relatio | ship between employer and employe | in large industries can be promoted | by the deliberate organization of that relationshi But the report fails to give definite recognition to the appli cation of this truth, Both employes | and employers must be organized in | order to become responsible parties | |to any system of mediation or arbi: | tration—otherwise the arbitration tribunal must deal with Mdiyiduais | instead organized groups. ‘The | principle of representation depends snization | failure of the conference to recognize definitely the organization of workers—trade unions—as the ba: | sis for representation is a fatal omis-| Certainly th conference | iid reconsider this point, in order make possible the confidence and co-operation of wage earners which can be expressed only thru or tions of their own making “Any plan tablish or main: | tain anything Jike fatr nm jons be-| tween workers and employers must avold compulsory features.

This prac- tice containg no element of democ- racy.” Labor, speaking thru Gompers, within the next few days is expected to submit to President Wilson's in- dustrial commission a list of pro- posed changes in the tentative plan for settling capital-iabor difficulties abor probably will suggest more specific recognition of collective bar- ning, flat recognition of trades unions, elimination of anything that could bé construed as limiting the right to strike or compelling men to work against their will, and also will recommend that government agencies be set up to study and improve working conditions r y Wilson, chairman of the conference, heard with tmterest the average comment of Gompers and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor. “We welcome all constructive criticism, he said. iticism is what the commission asked for,” another official declared It will ab be « on the commission re january ADMIRAL PILLSBURY DI WASHINGTON, Dec, 30 Admiral John KB.
