But. the fact, that they were idle a month, and that, the consumers of coal had to nav higher prices because of the strike shows how important it is to have arbitration for the-settlement of differences -between, labor anil capital. A just, system of arbitration would have secured the miners the advantage which they have gained, nnd probably a still greater .advant age, without the loss which they have suffered, and would have saved the public the loss which: has been visited upon it."
