ARBITRATION BEST METHOD
Justice shiras Talks Freely Concern
ing Logical Means of Settling
Labor Disputes and Strikes.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 27.-Justice shiras
OF the United States supreme court. who
has just arrived in Pittsburg from a long
vacation spent along the northern shores
OF Lake Superior, refuses to discuss his re.
ported retirement from the bench, further
than to say that President Roosevelt would
be the first person to learn Of 1t. and that
he had not received the announcement yet.
On the subject Of the anthracite coal
strike. Justice Shiras said:
Arbitration is-the logical method Of set
Ting labor troubles such as this one, which
AFFECTS the general prosperity and comfort
of a great section of the country. The
method and enforcement of this arbitration
Is a subject for the lawmakers of the ma
zion; but arbitration itself Is logical
y There is now one great difhculty stand
ing In the way of arbitration law. MANY
of the labor unions are not Incorporated.
Until they are no. law can be made binding,
as no contract or agreement could be en-
forced upon them, while the operators. on
the other hand, could be held liable.
Incorporation of all labor unions is the
primary step toward the passage of an ar
bitration law The unions must be resDon-
sible for the carrying out of an agreement
and until they are there is little hope for
compulsory arbitration OF labor troubles.

From a star Correspondent

LINCOLN, Aug. 27.-(special)-In all
OF the vast amount Of evidence Of the
prosperity Of Nebraska there is probably
nothing more convincing than a comparI-
son OF the statements Of banks under the
state Jurisdiction. Never In the history Of
Nebraska have the banks been in such good
condition, enjoyed such. good business or
Jared so we'll as in the last few years.
During the last ten years the total de-
posits In all state banks was lowest in
December, 1896. at that time being only
t1o,227,537. Now the deposits aggregate
over three times as much, or ;35, Os9, SIS in
exact figures. Until 1898 the total OF loans
exceeded the total Of deposits, but since
that year the deposits have kept increas-
ing. constantly widening the difference be-
tween the two items. II Is also notable
that this year the total capital Of the In
stitutions is less than in 1896, notwith
standing the business is over twice as
great.
Following is a comparison Of the con-
dition Of all state banks in 1896 and thls
year.
