B i a:i BBBBBBBBB BB B PUN TO ARBITRATE BUSINESS DISPUTES U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO SETTLE COMMERCIAL QUARRELS OUT OF COURT. Washington, May 30.?Settlement of commercial disputes between business men by arbitration rather than court process was proposed today by the United States Chamber of Commerce. Joseph H. Defrees, retiring president of the chamber, has addressed a letter to ail members of the body suggesting the adoption of a plan already worked out. The plan takes into account the present wide use of arbitration and proposes extending it among business organization'. A statement points out that commodities valued at billions of dollars are now bought and sold every year under contracts which provide that differences are to be arbitrated. Arbitration, under the arrangement proposed would consist of settlement of local controversies by commercial bodies of the locality involved, of disputes within an industry by trade associations and by the National Chamber of cases outside local or trade jurisdiction.

The plan provides for use of good offices by business organizations, wherever possible, by conciliation without resort to arbitration. In his letter, Mr. Refrees says: "I deem one of the greatest accomplishments of the chamber during my term of office that a plan so thorough and comprehensive as this has beer worked out for the application of the principle of commercial arbitration. "While there can be no question that there are certain kinds of commercial disputes that can best,, and indeed, that can only be settled satisfactorily through the courts it ! ic? onnallv true that in thp vast ma jority of commercial disputes an arbitrable award quickly arrived at . providing1 for a complete adjustmenl as between the two parties, is best suited to business procedure and wil . obviate a great delay and expense now involved in these cases being taken to the courts." o Card of Thanks.
