MIXED ARBITRATION SATISFACTORY. Advocates of mixed arbitration Will learn with pleasure that the court of this character that has been sitting on matters of dispute between French shipowners and| mariners has been very success- ful in its recent transactions. Two ¡important settlements have been lately arranged with its assis- tance. One concerned the differ ence between the Cie. de Navig- etion Mixte (La Touche) of Marseilles And the French steward's association.” The latter] objected to the employment of) nativă labour, and caused the sailing of one of the company's vessels to be delayed. The ships' officers' association likewise had a dispute with the Cia Havraise Peninsulaire when it was deter- mined to reduce, the scale of salaries in an endeavour to keepi more ships in commission. Bo- farers of every position are proud that they have been the first corporation in the country to make a mixed arbitration.courts
