Quote by Samuel Gompers
Do I believe in arbitration? I do. But not in arbitration between the lion and the lamb, in which the lamb is in the morning found inside the lion.
Summary
This quote suggests that while the concept of arbitration may be valuable, true fairness and justice cannot be achieved if the arbitration is imbalanced or biased. The lion represents a dominant or powerful party, while the lamb symbolizes a weaker or vulnerable party. It implies that in some scenarios, the stronger party may have an advantage and manipulate the process to their benefit, resulting in an unfair outcome, as seen by the lamb being found inside the lion. It highlights the importance of ensuring a level playing field and impartiality in any arbitration.
