GREAT PROBLEM OF THE HOUR
Bthop Sptldhg Discusses ths Wastefu
Wan of Labor md Capital
WHAT IS NEEDED TO END THEM
I race I nmpsltorr InTesllgat loa of 4 he
Affairs of Great Corporations and
of Trade- tnlona Need of
a New Heart.
John Lancaster Spalding, the distin
guished bishop of Peoria, 111., a member
of the Anthracite Coil 8trlke commission,
contributes to the Chicago Tribune, in the
form of an interview, a review of the
problems of labor and capital brought
home to the people by the industrial war
which the bishop helped to bring te a
satisfactory conclusion.
Looking back upon the work of the An
thracite Coal Strike commission. It it the
mission, even with the expenditure of flvo
months' time and perhaps $1,000,000. ac
complished that which the United States
government, with 100,000 troops, could not
have done in years.
"It could have maintained peace, per
haps," said Bishop Spalding. "It could
have protected nonunion workmen in their
work, provided these nonunion men might
have been found to work the mines. But
where would they have come from? There
was no yielding In the positions of the
Italians and Slavs in that mining district;
physically they were of a class not to
suiter greatly If forced to live on $4 or $5
a month, and in this strike sentiment there
was the fervor almost of religion.
Importance of Strike Commission.
"Viewed from the point of cost, the find
ing of the commission was reached at com
paratively small outlay. Look at the mil
lions already lost In tho strike and at the
suffering caused through that whole region,
and wnen II is considered that the condi
tions that existed there were impossible of
classification, that even with the Indi
viduals In an Individual mine broad dis
tinctions had to'be made In weighing griev
ances. It may well be granted that not In
another Industry In America could there
be a situation so full of complications.
"Suppose, in comparison, there should be
strike of all the steel workers In the
l'nltd States, and that the strike should
be continued as was the coal strike. There
mould be panic throughout the whole coun
try, but any commission which might have
to deal with the points In dispute would be
, able spc-edily to classify men and conditions
and lo make general application of them.
"In thu anthracite coal fields almost every
man was a condition unto himself, perhaps
not to be compared with the situation of a
man working In the same mine not a hun
dred feel away.
"In general, there were exaggerations of
conditions In the anthracite regions. Hern
and there were wretchedness and squalor,
but they were not worse than may be found
In Chicago; nor worse than individual In
stances here In Peoria. Overproduction had
been the bane of operator and of miner in
.B.uu. .v - - - -
woraing every aay; it was mai mere were
not enough working days.
No Anarchy Dnrlnaj the Strike.
"There was no anarchy anywhere In tho
reglona. There was no mob violence that
could not expend itself in the burning of
cfflglcs. Hatreds and bitternesses were not
In evidence. At bottom the trouble was
based In the union - of the Uclted Mine
Worker of America, through which the an
thracite worker were asking remedy. This
union largely was composed of bituminous
miners, working under conditions not, ap
plicable to the miners In the anthracite
fields, and recognition was asked of the an
thracite operator through a union of men
virtually in competition with the anthracite
Interests.
"Here again was the result of competi
tion a trade rivalry admitting of no sepa
ration of the Interest Involved. There 1
no doubt that the operator In the anthra
cite fields thought they were paying enough
to the miners. No doubt the operators
thought the miner dare not strike that
they could not afford to strike. But once
the strike was on and recognition demanded
through a union of satisfied bituminous
coal miner whose production of coal was

in competition with the anthracite product,
the result was natural.
"It hss seemed to me that the United
States was fortunate In having a president
at this time who was not bound by tra
ditions and conventionality.. It was a bold
stroke, perhaps, for him to undertake the
appointment of the commission, but as I
feel It the action has msde him the stronger
with all conditions of men, and I believe
the findings of the commission have met
with general approval.
All Better for Arbitration.
"Here, to my mind, have been the great
results of the work of the commission, not
only In the anthracite regions In particular,
but In some degree all over the labor world
In America:
"Employer and employed have been
brought from the extremes of social con
dition near enough together to see the
common manhood binding them together;
on both sides concessions have been made;
the employer has been shown some of the
hardships of the employe, living In the
squalid shack, and the employe, in turn, has
seen some of the slave driving exactions
which wealth Imposes upon Its possessor;
the drama of life and living was shown
not only to the 658 witnesses called on
both sides, but to the crowded halls day
after day In Scranton and In Philadelphia,
until the commission finally went 4nto
secret session In Washington: and there,
in executive session, the striking fact of
the Investigation was the almost unanimous
verdict of the commissioners upon every
point finally set at rest.
"As to the anthracite regions, both
parties to the long contest are the better
for the arbitration. Irritations and mis
understandings on both sides have beca
swept away. In the conduct of the com
mission's Investigations its harmonious
movement throughout was more marked
than It could have been in a court of law.
Lawyers were more considerate of wit
nesses. Technicalities had less considera
tion. More effort was made on both sides
to placate the commission than would have
been shown In a jury case of the kind In a
state or federal court."
Compulsory Arbitration Inadvisable.
"But this was arbitration," suggested
the questioner. "Do you understand that
an arbitration committee, working under
agreements of both interested parties,
would move with less friction than a pos
sible board of compulsory arbitration?"
"This was arbitration," repeated the
blBhop; "yes. New Zealand has compulsory
arbitration, too, and has called It success
ful. But it must not be forgotten that New
Zealand still Is a prlml.ive clv.llzatlon,
with no realisation of the intricacies of the
Industrial system of the United States.
"To consider arbitration in America. It
was Washington who said: 'In proportion
as the structure of a governmnet gives
force to public opinion It Is essential that
public opinion should be enlightened.' Now,
compulsory arbitration, whatever argu
ments may be advanced In favor of it, is
not practicable In a country like ours.
The settling of disputes can be accom
plished by boards of conciliation, to which
employers and employed voluntarily may
refer matters In dispute. When this Is
found Impossible and the business affects
large Interests In which the general wel-
j fare Is Involved, then simple Investigation
.should be made compulsory, and laws to
effect should be enacted. '
"There is a marked difference between
the principal and the effect of compulsory
Investigation and compulsory arbitration.
This difference is made plain in a remark
which Samuel Gompers once mado to me
when the sXibject of the conversation was
the desirability of the Incorporation of the
trade union as something to make them
more nearly responsible parties to agree
ment. 'Trade unionism,' said he, 'Is just
as strong and never stronger than public
opinion'; and just a soon as organized
labor ha lost the backing that it has in
the public opinion it will fall to piece of
Itself.
Appeal to Public Opinion.
"Thus you see. in the first place, a law
demanding a public Investigation into the
merit of a labor controversy become an
appeal to public opinion. Secondly, it in
volve the laying open of the detail of
private business to the world, something
that I not relished by any man or any body
of men; thirdly, it would prove a costly
process to both sides to it. Whatever the
finding of such a board might be, the ap
plication of the remedy would not be In
the hands of the board, empowered by any
authority to act; it would be a finding
addressed virtually to public sentiment.
"We will have strikes and lockout and
perhap violence in the future. The fierce
competitive system under which we live
and which result In overcapitalisation and
overproduction. Is responsible for many of
the evil from which we suffer. Some of
our greatest Industrie are capitalised at
four and five time their real value, and
every possible device is resorted to In order
to pay dividends on the watered stock.
The outcome sooner or later is a panic
which destroy hundreds of millions of dol
lars and brings wretchedness and want to
millions of humsn beings.
Too Great Desire for Wealth.
"Where la the reason for all this? It
springs from our American hurry to get
rich, which 1 a disease of a people who
lack Ideals; who measure the value of re
ligion, culture and art by the Influence of
these things on thrift and material pros
perity. In the midst of all this rush and
noise of business, of expansion and success,
we are rapidly growing incapable of taking
or loving the deeper view of life.
"Our faith in education Is, at bottom, the
faith In it powers to enable us to get
more money.
"Our preaching, leaving aside the thing
that are eternally right and true and In
dispensable, concerns Itself with that which
is frivolous, startling and vulgar.
"There is. I think, somewhere in the
bible a text which says that God is angry
with the nations that are rich. It we look
profoundly there is much in our social and
political life which should make our per
sistent optimism seem little else than an
unwillingness or an inability to see things
as the;' are.
"How many of us In the contemplation of
the lives of men who have spent a'.l their
energies in accumulating riches have bad
an eye for the exactions of this wealth
have thought how misspent these lives for
the most part have been, how barren of
Ideals?
Look what this spirit has dona for us.
It has defiled our rivers until in our cities
today a thirsty man may not get a glass of
cold water that 1 fit to drink. It ha
blackened and poisoned the atmosphere
with smoke and noxious vapors. It has
desecrated the face of nature where such
desecration were a blasphemy. It has made
hovels for the occupation of man where
not even swine could live In comfort.
"And all for what? That a nation, al
ready the most wasteful and extravagant
on earth, might be able for greater ex
travagances. Need of a New Heart.
"W need not so much new measures as
a new heart. In out, labor difficulties the
morallxatlon of both employer and em
ploye in an Indispensable condition in th
bringing about of a better stst of things.
And since the employers are fewer In
number and presumably more Intelligent
than srs th laborers, the - chief effort
should be to give them new mind and new
hearts, (hat they may understand that they
are trustees not less of public Interests
than of private Interests, and that the
right of worker, to say tb least, ara
as sacred a are th right of owners.
"Labor and capital ar allied forces, and
workers and owners, therefore, should live
at pesce and work In co-operation. When
disagreements arise they should be settled
by systemattied arbitration In accordance
with polned agreements between the em
ployers and the employed. Involving the
recognition of unions. For the union move
ment hss been for good always; heie and
there it has destroyed the Individual In his
marked rspaciiles above other men, but in
the equlhlllbrlum established by union
forces the best Interests of the greatest
number bsve been conserved. Therefore,
I believe that anything which will work to
the fuller recognition of the union prin
ciple on the part of the capital of the
country will be of far more significance
than will the mere patching up of a forced
agreement for a fixed perlcd. Just as the
union Is recognised, just to that extent It
is forced Into responsibilities which It
could not shirk If It would. The time may
come when It will be advisable to Incor
porate unions, but It Is not yet here; It Is
enough that union labor Is recognising that
the union which repudiates It contracts
literally kllfs Itself.
"American should tske the lesd In this
coming understsndlng and mutual recog
nition of rights between labor and capital.
As a people we should be more in sym
pathy with Isbor than almost any other
people on earth. Our ancestors worked
with their hands. They came here young,
active, vigorous and progressive and they
were the literal builders of the new coun
try. We should not have a class so soon
out of touch with the man who labors with
his hands.
"With a logical understanding between
capital and labor it might seem on the face
of the situation that the public would need
to protect Itself. With competition more
nearly obliterated, however, the price of
commodities may be more nearly subject
to the regulation established by demand.
No Necessity for Prosperity.
t
"There is no necessity In society for that
condition described as prosperity. At the
best, it is a season In which the careful
man looks to laying up enough to carry
him through the lean year that, because
of the competitive system, are sure to fol
low. There Is an Immense difference be
tween the Idea of a general welfare existing
in society and in the dream of the socialist
of the time when man shall exist on the
flat level of sloven ease, devoid of Ideals
and Insenate to the finer Impulse of his
nature,
"The general well being of our, country,
as compared to the ebb and flow of the
tides of prosperity and panic under the
competitive system, may depend immeas
urably upon the certainty of work for the
laborer and upon the certainty of a market
for the product of the capitalists' invest
ments. For the capitalist freedom from
strikes and the certainty that at all times
he may operate his Industrie upon a basis
of fair remuneration for his employe would
be an Incentive against overproduction. It
would be an Inducement for capital to
employ men for fewer hour In the work
ing day. It has been said by those arguing
agalnat the shortening of the working day
that for a man to work eight hours and
have sixteen hours to himself was a pro
portion of idleness that can lead only to
intemperance and crime.
"This position was regarded with a good
deal of Interest in tho anthracite Investiga
tion, and I may say that I am certain of its
fallacy as an argument. There waa a bet
ter class of worker in these field than the
public was led to believe. There was not
more drunkenness there than exists In like
communities elsewhere, notwithstanding
the fact that many of the empleyes In the
mine would leave work at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. Examination were made of the
drinks dispensed in the mining reglona, and
the report mad by the persona Interested
In the showings were that the beers and
whiskeys sold there were not below tha
average in standard.
State's Authority Should Bo Supreme.
"A to the operation of tha eight-hour
rule, I am convinced that a a man ha
time from the treadmill of labor1, to that
extent he is most likely to find attractions
In hts home and family life. This has It
influence upon the housekeeping, upon the
tidiness of the house and upon the meals
that are served, until, with proper food and
comfort In his home, the man Is far less
likely to seek the saloon than if hi ab
sence for long hour of jading toll left him
In a condition where the stimulating effect
of 'drink might seem a necessity.
"In whatever respect it may become
necessary for the law to deal with the con
troversies between capital and labor I think
it cannot be denied that the law. has the
right to prescribe. The authority of the
state should be supreme. Short of that
point where universal distress might be
worked upon a helpless public the law
ehould find it right, and again, a concern
capital especially, the law's supremacy
must be found In the fact that except for
the power of the state and it concessions
a corporation with its right and privilege
cannot exist.
'Certainly it is a truth not to be dis
puted that If something Is not done toward
the destruction of our destructive competi
tive system socialism will find it oppor
tunltr." I'nlons Should Be Temperate,
Bishop Spalding, speaking of the posi
tion of the worklngman in the present con
dition of society, urge upon the unions
the necessity of a policy of temperance that
shall appeal not only to tha nonunion man
to join, but to tha employer to recognise
the organizations.
"Today tb trade union need to be
counseled to a more conservative policy
with reference to men and thing. It need
to modify It attitude toward th non
union man; to temper It aversion to
new Invention; to curb It disposition
to limit output; to discourage the most
efficient workers, and to resort to the sym
pathetic strike snd the criminal boycott.
'American laborer are not socialists.
much less are they anarchist. They are
for the moat part religious, law abading
men, and unionism as it exists today in the
United States Is a beneflclent and con
servative force, and where the unions are
strongest their influence Is most helpful.
'The church should do whst Is possible
for it to do to Improve the social and
economic condition of the people, but. it
will work more effectively by Illumining
and purifying Its own members; by In
spiring them with an eager desire to be
of help; to labor disinterestedly to lsesen
the sin and sorrow and suffering of men."

earlier year. Thus, only two years
preceding fourteen recorded fewer fall
during the first quarter, nothwlthsta
the fact that the total number of Arms In
business has very largely increaaed during
that period, while only the five years Im
mediately preceding record smaller aggre
gate defaulted Indebtedness. A moBt In
structive comparison Is made by taking
the ratio of liabilities to solvent payments
through clearing houses, which practically
gives the financial death rate. On this
basis it appear that only about $1 of bad
debt compare with $1,000 of live buslnesa.
Distribution ia Favorable.
Geographical analysis of failures for the
last three month makes a most favorably
comparison with last year's figures at tho
east, despite a few exceptionally large de
faults that distort the record and necessi
tate special consideration. Defaults In
New England fell off nearly 100 in number,
but there appeared a considerable Increase
In amount of liabilities. Trading and man
ufacturing losses were little altered, but
other commercial failure in Massachusetts
Involved over $1,000,000. Yet total failures
for the state were eighty less than a yenr
ago, or about one-fourth. In Rhode Island
the proportion of docrease in number was
even greater, exceeding one-half, yet lln
bilitlea rose sharply, while for Maine the
Increase surpassed 100 per cent. In the
three middle state there was also a small
net Improvement a to number, but an In
crease in liabilities. New York showed a
rise of over 60 per cent, all classes of com
mercial liabilities Increasing largely, al
though banking losses were Insignificant
compared with last yesr. Conspicuous
strength was .shown In Pennsylvania, tho .
decrease in number of failures amounting
to lxty, or over one-fourth, while de
faulted indebtedness diminished nearly
$2,000,000, or more than one-halt. New
Jersey failure Increased in all depart
ments, notably a to financial losses.

notably eoutn Carolina ana AiHuama. u ,
on the whole the losses were fully equal to I
last year's, which In turn were much
greater than In the preceding year. In the
aggregate, there was little change for the
three southwestern states, yet llabl lt'es
in Missouri were much smaller. This Im
provement waa lost by Texas, howevr
where trading liabilities res above $1.-

Failures in the Wert.
In the thickly populated states cf the
central west the return shows little net
change, smaller liabilities In Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois being offset by grester losses in
Michigan and Wisconsin. The irsdloi
failure were notably severe in Michigan.
but this entire section exhibited a mark-d
Improvement over laat year' figures ef

the reports are less striking. CMrrvIo
