The Nineteenth Century Club. The 



Nineteenth Century Club has completed its 

 fourth season of lectures and discourses 

 with undiminished interest on the part of 

 its constituency. The organization has been 

 true to its idea of securing the presentation 

 of all sides of important questions. Be- 

 sides its social success, its general intellect- 

 ual and moral influence has been salutary. 

 In the discussions just concluded the con- 

 servative side of thought has been repre- 

 sented by the Rev. Mr. Haweis, Rev. Will- 

 iam Lloyd, Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, Presi- 

 dent McCosh, the Hon. C. M. Depew, P. R. 

 Coudert, and President Porter as leading 

 speakers. The views of President Eliot, of 

 Harvard, were controverted by President 

 Porter and Dr. McCosh. President Porter 

 also had a discussion on " Evolution " with 

 Professor E. S. Morse, of Salem, and Pro- 

 fessor H. Newell Martin, of Johns Hopkins 

 University, but his address took up so much 

 of the evening that the other side had no 

 opportunity to be heard with corresponding 

 fullness. 



New Light on "Arbitration and Con- 

 ciliation." Much has been written on the 

 supposed labor question which the events 

 of the last six months have made obsolete. 

 Of this kind is a large part of " a plea for 

 arbitration and conciliation," as embodied in 

 a pamphlet on " Labor Differences and their 

 Settlement," by Mr. Joseph D. Weeks, of 

 Pittsburg, which has been sent us, bearing 

 the imprint of the Society for Political Edu- 

 cation. If workmen were always the gen- 

 tle, much-enduring lambs that this author 

 assumes them to be, there would be a place 

 to make the peaceful ways of settlement 

 between them and their employers which he 

 suggests the rule. But where can arbitra- 

 tion and conciliation come in in such cases 

 as the New York Steam-Heating Company 

 and the Gray and the Landgraf boycotts, 

 and the Texas Pacific and Third Avenue 

 and Lake Shore Railroad strikes and their 

 attendant "tie-ups"? These events have 

 cast a new light on the matter ; and those 

 writers who are advising employers to sub- 

 mit the control of their concerns to outside 

 organizations and are asserting the equal
