. The National Civic Federation review . and what you know, too, what you have up your sleeve, andI want to say that I am not only at variancewith your doctrines, but with your philosophy. Economically, you are unsound; socially, youare wrong; industrially, you are an impossibility. MR. MARKS PROVES EFFICIENT ARBITER Danbury Hat Makers and Workers Call on CivicFederation to Furnish Umpire UnderClause in Their Agreement. AHAPPY example of industrial arbitration wasafforded recently in the decision of MarcusM. Marks, chairman of the New York Arbi-tration Committee of The National Civic Federation,in a controversy between the United Hatters ofNorth America and a member of the Danbury andBethel Hat Manufacturers Association. At the termination of trouble, in 1909, between thenational organizations of employers and workmen inthe hat making industry, an agreement was enteredinto between the hat manufacturers of Danbury,Conn., and the United Hatters of North America tothe effect that all matters in dispute should be arbi-. Marcus M. Mabks. trated by a committee on which both sides shouldhave equal representation. In the event agreementcould not be had in this way, the selection of a finalarbiter was provided for. It was, however, a further part of the agreementthat if the committee failed to decide upon some oneas final arbiter within five days he should be chosenby the chairman of the Conciliation Committee ofThe National Civic Federathm. Both sides requested President Low to act in ac-cordance with the provision just referred to, and hedesignated Mr. Marks to act as final arbiter, each party to the sontroversy having expressed iteelf asthoroughly satisfied with the choicw. Investigation by Mr. Marks showed that the con-troversy was not of such a nature as to be susceptibleof settlement by conciliation, it being a question ofpiece-work and task-work. In view of this factau ubitration of the matter was entered into. Mr. Marks findings as arbitrator were accepted
