The text argues that arbitration replaces costly litigation in many business conflicts. Citing Charles le Bernheimer, it notes savings in time and money when parties agree to settle by arbitration. It recalls George Washington's use of arbitration clauses and asserts the method remains effective and increasingly adopted.
Edward M. Gould of Hartford sues a group of men including a Bridgeport guest driver for 25000 damages after an accident on the Milford turnpike left him thrown from a car.
