Arbitrate !
By BOOTH TAKKINGTON
Of Th Vigilant;

In wartime the strike Is not tlio rcm
cily for prollteerlnj,'. Publicity nnd nc
tlon by the government nro tbo reme
dies for profiteering. Profiteering thnt
brings on n strlko Is, In' effect, not bet
ter thim treason ; but n strike mity It
self be nn attempt to "profiteer" nnd
thorcforo not better In result thtm
trcoson. Every sensible person, how
ever, understands that workmen arc
entitled to as high wages as they can
get without Interfering with the utmost
posslblo efficiency of Industry engag
ed In the prosecution of the war. A
strike does lnterfero with Buch effi
ciency, nnd thcreforo means n larger
casualty list nnd Increased danger to
tho country. That Is to say: If I am a
war Industry workman on strlko I nm
prolonging tho war and adding to tho
risk of America's defeat In tho war.
This means thnt I cnuso death nnd
wounds to n certain number of Ameri
can boys who would hnvo come homo
snfo and sound to their mothers If I
hadn't gono on strike. Thnt Is tho Blm
plo truth ; nnd if I nm Impeding a war
Industry by going on strike, I might
Just as well have torn and tortured tho
bodies of those boys myself. Tho re
sponsibility Is so terrible thnt no work
man who understands It would tako It,
except to avoid a greater amount of
torturo and denth nt homo through
starvation wages.
Arbitration wilt give him whnt ho
needs nnd what ho Justifiably wants.
Tho wholo country understands that n
vrorkmnn cannot Uvo today on tho
wages of ten years ngo. Wages have
got to advance, of course, as tho price
of commodities advances; and tho
prlco of commodities advances, of
course, ns wages advanco 5 though It Is
to tho advantago of tho workman to
let tho prlco of commodities begin to
ndvanco first. But his wages must
tnko account of higher prices, and per
mit him not only life, liberty nnd tho
pursuit of happiness, but allow him
to save, as well. Thnt Is all that any
man on this earth Is entitled to wheth
er ho bo garbage man or kaiser; and
it is all that Is worth getting ; nnd tho
Ideal of this country Is that every man
shall have It. This Is whnt wo nro
fighting for; that no mnn shall tako
nway this right from nnothor man,
that no man shall make another mnn
his slave, ns tho Gcrranns hnvo mndo
conquered labor their slave nnd ns
they would mnko slaves of us if they
conquered us.
Now such Is the temper of our coun
try that tho responsibility for n strlko
which menns nioro death, more crip
pling, more blinding, more ehot nway
faces, for our young men, sons of
worklngmcn nnd sons of capitalists,
fighting sldo by sldo and comrades
"over there," as they will ho over hero
when they como home tho responsi
bility for such a strlko Is nn Infinitely
heavier nnd moro dangerous thing
than those who rashly nssmno that re
sponsibility can know, nnd no decent
human being could bo so selfish nnd so
treacherous to his country ns knowing
ly to bring about such a strike.
And tho temper of tho country In
theso days Is to know causes ns well
ns results. "Where tho greediness of a
profiteer has caused a strike, his money
will not bo envied him for ho shnll not
havo It, nor his liberty either. And it
Is unthlnknblo that American work
men, or workmen who nro human
beings, for that matter it is unthlnk
nblo that they will strlko, even for mero
JuBtlce, without having to tho Inst ut
most atom of their energy pressed for
settlement by arbitration.
Tho syndicate service, founded by
Samuel Gompera and representing tho
point of view of tho American Federa
tion of Labor, reports nn address by
"William Mosses, president of tho Pat
tern linkers' Union of Great Britain.
Mr. Mosses wns speaking In tho Labor
Templo In Sun Francisco, no said:
"We wcro requested to nbrogato our
working rules nnd ngreements . . .
to give up everything thnt tended to re
strict output. . . . Being convinced
that this wns necessary, unless we de
sired to see tho entlro world subjugat
ed by German nutocrncy, wo recom
mended that our unions submit to tho
request mndo by tho government
. . . This meant that there was to
bo no stoppngo of work during tho wnr.
It meant tho ncceptnnco of compulsory
nrbltrntlon. . . . We hnvo secured
hotter results through nrbltrntlon thnn
by resorting to tho strike, which should
bo used ns n last resort nftcr all else
bus failed. If this Is done, tho strlko
wonpon will rest In its scabbard."
And Mr. Mosses snld another thing
worth thinking about. "Today labor in
Great Britain is moro prosperous
thnn over beforo in its history. . . .
Our influcnco Is grenter than ever be
foro and our workers nro enjoying
wealth beyond tho dream of nvarlce."
Not only is nrbltrntlon necessary,
but It pays 1
"TASSING OF MR. JOHNSTON
By I80BEL FIELD
of tho Vigilantes.
Tho traditions! Englishman, ho of
tho eyeglass and tho haw-haw man
ner, has been thrown Into tho discard.
Tbo last four years havo changed our
views on many things nnd today when
we think of a Britisher it is not us
wo used to see him, in caricature, but
as ho is, n simple, llkablo, friendly
chup, and "a first-class fighting man."
Another figure hns gone, never to
return: tho dancing, bowing, frog-eating
Alplionse, tho very opposite In
every 'particular to the real Frenchman
wo have come to know, whose very
nnmo Is tho personification of valor.
Gulscppe, he of the organ and mon
key, with 11 stiletto In his belt and a
pinto of macaroni In tho near dis
tance, Is displaced by n bold Alplnl
fighting in tho clouds, or a dashing,'
gallant Bersegllere defending his coun
try to tho last drop of his blood.
There Is ft personnge nearer homo
that wo must bo prepnred to lose,
Mlstah Johnston, tho Darktown cooi
lie is no more. Gradually thero hna
nppeared In his plnco n stem young
American, trained and alert, musket
In hand. There Is no hyphen to his
nnme. Ills forefathers were Africans,
but ho Is loyal United Stntes.
When tho colored troops marched
down Fifth nvenuo for the last tlmo
beforo going to France, tho newspa
pers reported that they wero given a
"tumultuous ovation." As n matter of
fact, thero was little cheering. Tho
flenso mnBses that lined the Blde-wnlls
nnd filled tho windows nnd overhang
ing balconies looked on In growing
wonder. Hero nnd there n pntter of
gloved hands or n "brnvo" was
drowned in tho bent of drums nnd tho
tramp of many feet. Tho sight of tho
long, long lino of khnkl-clnd figures
marching like clock-work ; tho Btrnngo
grim faces that might have been cnHt
In bronze eyes straight nhcad, with
not n sldo glonco or n gleam of whlto
teeth; company nfter compnny led by
smart, soldierly colored officers, nil
on their way to the bnttlcfront, was
too awe-lnsplring for noise. Tho
crowds gave them tho deeper homngo
of breathless surprised silence. They
camo to applaud Mlstah Johnston and
beheld in his place n bold warrior who
commanded their respect and admira
tion. THE NEW LIFE

BKNIOR AND ADULT TOPlC-Chrlet's
resurrection and the Christian's assurance
of Immortality.
I. The Ministry of Love (vv. 1-4).
1. By whom (v. 1).
Mary Magdalene, tho mother of
James anil Salome.
2. When (v. 2).
Early In the morning, the first dns
of the week.
(3) Their perplexity (vv. 3, A).
They questioned as to who should
roll away the large stone from tho
mouth of tho tomb. To their surprise
they found tho stone removed. They,
like us, Hnd their difficulties are re
moved before they come to them. If
they had believed him, their anxieties
and sorrows would not hnvo been.
II. The Angel In the Tomb (vv. 5-8).
Jesus knew thnt theso women would
come to the sepulchcr with unbeliev
ing hearts, so ho hnd an angel waiting
there to announce to them the fact of
his resurrection. How many times wo
are helped out of doubts and difficul
ties by nn nngel which the omniscient
Lord knew would be needed nt n par
ticular time. With such companions
nnd helpers no place need seem lone
ly, nnd no condition need affright us.
Tho angel's message:
1. "Be not affrighted" (v. 0).
Whnt comforting words theso must
hnvo been to those bewildered women.
Tho open tomb Is tho cure for fear;
It steadies our hearts when things look
dnrk nnd we do not understand.
2. "Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who
wns crucified (v. 0).
This three-fold designation with
mnrvelous clearness shows:
(1.) Ills humnnlty Jesus.
(2.) Lowly residence Nazareth.
(3.) Ignominious death crucified.
:. "Ho Is risen; he Is not here; be
hold the plnco where they laid him"
(v. 0).
Theso words throw light upon his
birth, humility nnd shameful denth.
He who wns born In lowly circum
stances, nnd suffered the shameful
death of the cross, Ih now the con
queror of denth. Ills resurrection
gives meaning to his death. If Christ
had not risen, then his denth would
have been mennlnglcss. "If Christ he
not risen, your faith Is va'm ; yo nre In
your sins" (1 Cor. 15:17).
4. "Go your way, tell his disciples
nnd Peter" (v. 7).
As soon as it was known.thnt ChrM
hnd risen from the (lend, they were to
toll It to tho disciples. Knowledge of
Christ's triumph Involves the responsi
bility of witnessing concerning It. Tho
disciples nil needed this blessed news,
but Peter especially since ho had so
denied him. Wonderful grace, tlilsl
fi. "He goeth before you into Gali
lee: there shnll yo sec him" (v. 7).
Christ hnd told the disciples that ho
would arlso from tho dend and meet
them In Galilee, but their uuhe'.ief
kept them from this blessed truth.
III. Tho Appearances of the Risen
Christ (vv. 9-14).
Theso appearances had as their ob
ject tho restoration of tho disciple
from their nwful failure and discour
agement nnd the convincing tin
without the pcrndventure of n doul-t,
of Christ's resurrection. Since his
resurrection wns to be the cent ml
theme of apostolic preaching, It uih
necessary that they have certainly t
knowledge ns to this matter (Arts
1:3). Without the resurrection "f
Christ, his deajh would be inean'tig
less. Out of tho ten or moro npp i
ance.s, Mark selects three.
1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 0-1 1)
Mary's heart responded to the -
vlour's grnclous dellvernnco of I r
from demons. Her sufferings were no
doubt terrible. She Is the first to th'
tomb. Her devotion Is amply rewn pl
ed by being the first to meet the rl- n
Lord. Light will surely come to tin
heart that really loves tho Lil.
though the faith Is weak. She went t
once and told the sorrowing dlscipl,
but they refused to believe.
2. To two disciples on tho wny to
Emmnus (vv. 12, 13).
Luke gives full particulars conc ru
ing this nppenrnnce. Jesus had
walked, talked, and eaten with tin m,
convincing them that tho Lord Is Hm-ii
indeed (Luke 24:13-315). Tho te-il-moiiy
of such Is trustworjhy.
3. To tho eleven disciples (v. 14).
IV. The Commlcslon of the Rlcen
Lord (vv. in-18).
After tho disciples were convinced
of the truth of his resurrection, Christ
sent them forth to "prench the Goio!
to every creature."
What a glorious and supremo tnsk Is
this! "IIo that' belleveth nnd Is bap
tized shnll bo saved ; but he that bellev
eth not shnll be damned (v. 10).
V. The Activity of the Enthroned
Christ (vv. 10-20).
After giving the disciples their com
mission, ho nscends on high, and from
tho unseen sphere directs their activi
ties. Wherever they went ha con
firmed their word.
