LABOR MATTERS.
THE TAXI-CAB STRIKE. London, January 29, ThetTaxi-cab Drivers' Union is making a levy of 4s daily on owners whose drivers are continuing work. COMPULSORY ARBITRATION. Received 31. 12.20 a.m. 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 INDUSTRIALISM? Received 30. 9.55 p.m. London, January 30. Roberts, at the Labor 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 arbitrat:oii with misgiving, but the integrity of contracts should be maintained, except under great provocation. With united action the nationalisation of tlic mines and railways was as easily practicable as the transference of the telephone.
