LABOR TROUBLES ARE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION IN
ENGLAND
IN ENGLAND the arbitration of labor troubles began in 1562
when parliament enacted a statute requiring all disputes between
employer and employee to be referred to a magistrate—reference was
compulsory and the local decision was binding. In the carly days
of the last century parliament returned to the subject by providing
for the appointment of an arbitrator by each party to the disputes be
fween master and man in the cotton trade—arbitration being com
pulsory and the decision binding. In 1889 parliament authorized the
board of trade, which corresponds to our department of labor, to s‘um—ii
mon the parties before it for conferences; in 1911, following the great
rarlway strike, at the instance of the government board of trade, an
industrial council was created to arbitrate labor disputes. England’s
«xperience teaches that arbitration must be compulsory and the de
<iswon must be enforced.
By the machinery above described industrial peace has been
mamtamed fairly well; in-1910 there were settled 1,087 disputes; in
1911 the great railway strike was ended ; in 1912, 2/138 disputes were
settled. After the outbreak of the great war labor troubles led te the
threat of martial law.
faermany gave legal recognition to arbitration between employer
and employee twenty-six years ago. The present law creates in
«iustrial courts in all towns of more than twenty thousand inhahi-l
tants and before these a case may come at the option of the state or
of either party to the controversy. Such courts may take cognizance
«+f all disputes concerning wages, hours, conditions or a grievance
set up by an employee against an employer or vice versa. When the
complaint has been filed the court selects an equal number of arbi
trators from cach party to the controversy—this is a jury but there
15 no pretense of finding an impartial juror; a majority decides but
the magistrate presiding may refuse to vote in case of a tic and so
necessitate a new trial. Neither side is bound, however, to accept
the verdict unless both have boiund themselves to do so in advance.
When the dispute has continued for some time without an appiica
-I'on to the court from either party it is the duty of the magistrate to
iatervene by advising arbitration ; violence, intimidation or interfer
vnve with public interests is met by government action.— Jackson

THE BOY, OR THE HOG?
For some weeks now farmers all over the states and countics
have been flocking to the local fairs, some to exhibit to the public
the results of their efforts and others to see and observe and profit by
the results achieved by their fellows.
Among thes many attractions to be seen at these fairs is the in
evitable big fat hog. His hogship usually tips the beam around onc
thousand pounds, and we stand and marvel at the labor and patience
't must have required to develop such swinish perfection.
Then if we are thinking men our thoughts will probably pass on
to wander if the owner of this marvel has sons of his own, and as
fow great an cffort he is making to develop them to the highest type
to which they arc capable of attaining. The hog's owner has been
careiul to eliminate from its progenitors all that would tend to take
from its full and complete development. Has he been as careful to
weed out of his own life habits and traits of character that would
wilitate against the development of his son?
“ften we have seen a boy succeed in life despite the shortcom
mgs of a derelict father. And we have contented ourselves with the
simple remark that the boy is a great improvement on the father.
The tribute is weak and paltry. Little do we know of the fight the
boy has waged in order to rise above his surroudings and overcome
his handicaps.
Environment is mighty and powerful for good or evil. The
greatest blessing a boy can have is parents who can point and guide
him toward higher things—higher heights even than those to which
they have attained.
At the risk of seeming to preach we wish to say to the fathers
of this section that when you look upon the big hog you have seen
the ultimate. Nothing further is obtainable unless, possibly, it be
a little more of the same porkine perfection. But when you look
upon your small son, how little you can see of the limitless possibi:
lities for good and ill that lie in that small mind and heart, and how
your care of him is going to mould his life into almost whatever you
may will to make it!
Why not think less of the big hog and more of the small boy?
The Democratic Administration has given the country a great
wical of constructive legislation—the federal reserve system, for one
thing—but, probably, nothing that has been done will have such a
‘ar-reaching effect on the permanent prosperity of the country as
e federal farm loan act, for it means, in its practical application, fi
: ancial emancipation for the farmer: and upon the farmer’s indepen
+ence and prosperity, the prosperity of the country inevitably rests.
At no period of the Republican party’s long regime has legisla
* on been passed that has so far-reaching an effect for the improve
tient of farm conditions and the establishment of farm homes for
those wishing to return to the soil. This piece of constructive leyis
lation alone should secure for Mr. Wilson the votes of the great
white population in the western states, whose large area will find
yrofitable dC\-’clopm.cnt when the rural credits act once begins its
Leneticial operations. J

[ had to give up my work on the
| farm and came to Birmingham
) ec weeks ago to spend the rest
' ray days “in the Confederate
| Veterans' Home. 1 didn’t think
| I’d ever be much good any long
| cr, but when 1 got here I got to
It:;"‘-.i:w Tanlac, and sir, you may
1;,,.;@ ve me or not, but the medi
l(‘i'.la‘ made me feel so much bet
!‘wr and stronger that I am get-

(home in Shelby and go to farm
ing again.”
The above remarkable state
ment was made by J. W. Tomil
son, age 73, of Westover, Shelby
county, Ala. - Mr. Tomilson is a
well-known Confederate veteran,
naving served three years with
Brigadier General Wright. He
has lived in Shelby since the end
of the war. ‘
“I've been a farmer all my-life,”
continued Mr. Tomilson, “and al
ways enjoyed good health up un
til last summer, when a bad at
tack of grippe and fever complete
'y knocked me out, and I haven’t
been well since. My strength left
me and my health slipped away
before I knew it. I couldn’t cat
T sleep to amount to anything,
was terribly nervous, couldn’t
take interest in anything and fi
naily had to give up work on the
farm. I took all kinds of medi
cine, but nothing helped me, and
I was going down hill all the
time. ‘
“A lady in Shelby county told
me that Tanlac had felped her
wonderfully, and | promised her
when 1 left home that I would try
the medicine when | got to Bir
mingham. 1 carried out my
promise and am mighty glad 1
did. I bought a bottle and it help
od me so much that when ] finish

taken three bottles in all and I
an tell you, it's wonderfol what

A. M. S. WON AGAIN !
FROM FITZGERALD
rom the Tifton Gazetie: |
| the A. M, & serabs continued
their ‘winning streak from Fitz
cerald here yester lay afternoon,
winning by a score of 7 to 0. Both
teanis ", ::;T'\_-:’; good ball at times
but on account of many fumbles
land penalties, the gdme was
| scmewhat slow. During the first
| part the ball was sc nt from one
ili nd of the field fto the other.
| When the F. H. S. goal was in
| danger, a punt would gain for
| them about thirty yamds. On
! nearly every one the serubs would
fumble and ot Fitz get the pic
|skin. The ball would then b
Ic:xrriu{ near the Tifton goal, just
to be brought back to the Fits
lend of the field on forward pass
i - ;
es and runs for his gains,
The touchdown came in ‘he last
quarter, when the Aggies buckled
down to hard work and carried
the ball up to their opponent’s
goal. .D. Willis, the fast hali
back of scrub fame, carried the
ball across the line on a five yard
[p]ung'c, and then kicked goal.
| The weather was ideal for a!
game and a fair sized crowd was
out to enjoy it. It scems though,
that Tifton could give a better at
tendance, especially to a winningl
team.
In the second half K. Stewart
took Kelly's place at left guard

THE RURAL CREDITS LAW IN A NUTSHELL
The rural credits law in brief provides—
I That you may borrow one-half the value of your land;
2 That you may have from five to forty years to pay back the
moncey, paying it back as fast as you please after five years.
3 That the interest rate can’t possibly exceed 6 per cent and
will almost certainly be less;
4 That each borrower buys ass share in the national farm
foan association for each $lOO he borrows, sciling it back again
when he pays up.
5 That all other liability is limited to 5 per- cent of the
amount a 2 man borrows, there being no truth in the statement that
he must assume joint liability withe other borrowers.
