Commerce, Mr. Lappin found a friendly proponent of
the idea and, after a number of committees of the board
had carefully considered the project, it was brought
before the board last summer. On this occasion Judge
Vincent Brennan. Judge W. I.. Carpenter, Harold E.
Emmons, Fred Butzel and A. C. Lappin addressed the
board in support of the proposed tribunal and it was
passed. An appropriation of $10,000 was voted for its
first year's work. Mr. Lappin drew up its plan of or-
ganization and its rules.
The laws of the state of Michigan were found to be
quite antiquated in their bearing upon arbitration. Our
arbitration laW had been passed in 18.13 and, while it
legalized arbitration by private argeement, it failed to
provide adequate guarantees for enforcement. Accord-
ingly amendments were proposed in the legislature and,
at the last session, the House of Representatives passed
the proposed amendements bill, but, (Inc to the press of
other legislation, the Senate adjourned without taking
action on the matter. Governor Fred Green has indi-
cated his intention to sign the bill and the Senate is ex-
pected to approve it during the next session.
The amended law will provide for appeal from the
arbitrary board to the circuit court in case of any al-
leged partiality on the part of the judges. In review-
ing the decisions of the arbitration board, the court
will confine itself only to the points raised by the party
bringing the appeal and the burden of proof will rest
upon the accusing party.
With such a comprehensive arbitration law soon to
go upon the statute books it is well that we should be
prepared to profit by it. To A. C. Lappin, who has been
from the first the moving spirit of arbitration in Detroit,
belongs the credit for the formation of the Jewish Ar-
bitration Court. Ile will serve as its honorary director
without the compensation. Its active associate director
is Samuel Sternberg, well-known to the Detroit bar and
a tireless worker for social betterment in Detroit. Un-
der such able directorship the Jewish public of Detroit
and the public in general, for non-Jews are welcome
to the services of the board, can feel confident that in
submitting their disputes to the Jewish Arbitration
court they may expect justice. As the Arbitration
Court begins to function and grow in the respect and
esteem of Detroit Jewry we shall demonstrate to the
world once more that traditional passion for the "Sho-
lom Mishpot," the Judgment of Peace which is one of
our priceless contributions to world jurisprudence and
the upward march of civilization.

Echoes From Detroit Pulpits

You know how they write in the small town paper:
"MN. Jones Sundayed in Berks Center last week." Well,
I "Decoration Dayed" in a small city in Pennsylvania. In
discussing conditions with ray hostess I discovered that
her children are forced to sing Christian hymns in the
public schools. Of course this is merely a matter of
might being right. There isn't the slightest justification
for the Protestant church to force children in the public
school, children of different beliefs, to sing Moody and
Sankey hymns. It is unfair and contrary to the spirit
of religious liberty in this country. I wonder what Pro-
testant parents would say of the Catholics of this coun-
try were they to be in the majority and force laws
through the legislature compelling Protestant children
to take part in a religious service in the public schools,
that would be contrary to Protestant teaching.
You know just that very thing is possible. And, based
on what the Protestant church is doing, the Catholics
would have a wonderful precedent to follow. It is just a
matter of wielding the Big Stick.
