DISCUSSES THE STR|KE.
Justice Shiras of the United States Supreme Court Talks of the
 Coal Miners Strike.
ARBITRATION SHOULD BE ASSORTED TO.
The Great Difficulty In the Way or Compulsory Arbitration Law ia That Many of the Labor Unions are Not Incorporated and Can Not be Sued.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 2s.DJustiee Shiras, of the United States supreme court. who has just arrived in Pitts burg 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 il. and that he has not received the announcement yet.
 On the subject of the anthracite coal strike Justice Shiras said: Ar bitration is the logical method of set ting labor troubles such as this one. which affects the general prosperity and comfort of great section of the country. The method and enforce ment of this arbitration is subject for the lawmakers of the nation; but arbitration itself is logical.
 There is now one great difficulty standing in the way of an arbitration law Many of the labor unions are not incorporated. Until they are, no law can be made binding. as no con- tract or agreement could be enforced upon them, while the operators, on the other hand. could be held liable.
 Incorporation of all labor unions Is the primary step towards the pass age of an arbitration law. The un ions must be responsible for the car rying out of an agreemnt, and until they are there is little hope for com pulsory arbitration of labor trou- bles'
