COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
<.Bj Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.)
New York, January 31
Mr Gompers denounced the compulsory arbitration Bill before the State Legislature. Strikes and lockouts were always preferable to surrendering to injustice. The Canadian and United States workers were united on this point.
POLITICAL ACTION OR INDUS-
TRIALISM?
London, January 30
Mr Roberts, at the Labour conference, challenged the view that political action was futile and industrialism the only method of realising the workers’ aims. If neither political action nor a strike policy realised expectations it was due to lack of working-class adhesion and enthusiasm. When a popular franchise was secured the people could master the State. He viewed compulsory arbitration with misgiving, but the integrity of contracts should be maintained, except under great provocation. With united action the nationalisation of the mines and railways was as easily practicable as the transference of the telephone.
