Freshman Debating Club.

There was a small attendance at the meeting of the Freshman Debating Club last night, in spite of the fact that the speaking was rather better than usual. The question was, "Resolved, That there should be compulsory arbitration in labor disputes between employers and employees." The principal disputants were: Affirmative-D. J. Murphy and M. A. Sullivan; negative-H. W. Bowker and H. H. Murdock. Bowker and Sullivan spoke on the rebuttal. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative, although the negative appeared to have a better delivery and knowledge of the subject. After the speeches from the house, A. M. Sayre criticised the speakers individually.
