sHAFFER ON Incorporation.
He SAYS There is no Such Provision
in rennsvlvania Laws.

Pittsburg, Aug. 38.-The proposition
that labor organizations should be in
corporated does not meet with favor
among local labor leaders. PRESIDENT
Shaffcr. of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion, said:
1.-THE Incorporation Of labor organi-
zation is not provided for by the laws Of
PENNSYLVANIA. l know of but one labor
association that has been incorporated.
The Knights of Labor were compelled
to get special act of Congress to allow
them to incorporate and it has been so
recent that any advantages or disad-
vantages in having n legal standing BY
a labor body have not been apparent. !
can see no objection to having Il work
ingmen's organization incorporated. That
incorporation would prevent strikes is
not so clear to me-. Men could refuse to
work at the expiration Of the annual
agreement and refuse to- enter into nn-
other until their terms were complied
with. If incorporation of a labor orga.
nzaton means only recourse to legal
damages and to the courts the moor
poration idea would hardly he popular
with the rank and file of workmcn. as

ut Shellpot Park next Monday, under
the auspices OF the United Labo" Lea
que. There is to be no parade on that

thoroughly enjoy themselves. There will
be n great many entries in the sports
which promise to be the feature of the
day. The waltzing contest for Il silver
pitcher offered by Stirlith Bros, will also
be an attractive feature. The working
men and their families have been look
in forward to the occasion for months
and it will be gala day for them.
Many will take well filled baskets, to the
park early in the morning and will To-
main until evening.
