Curious situation Develops fn ARbitra-
 tIOn of Georgta Railfoad Strike. Washington, June 11---A curious situ- ation has developed in the arbitration of the Georgia Railroad strike.
 An agreement was signed by both parties to the controversy that the questions at issue between them should be submitted to arbitration, under tn e provisions of the Erdnian act. The agreement was not drawn properly, 1t appears and 1t was necessary to re- draft It. After 1t was fedrafted. the document had to be sent to the parties to the controversy for their signatures. Meantime the questions at issue remain as they were.
 The new agreement will specify the time and place of holding the confer. ences of the arbitrators. Within i've days from the date of the signing of the agreement. the arbitrators already named. Hillary A. Herbert for the Georgia Railroad, and Congressman upon a third arbitrator. If they are unable to agree upon a third man. the matter will be submitted to Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Neill, the mediators under the Erdman act, who will name the third member of the Board of Arbitration.
 The arbitrators will receive as com pensation from the United States Treas. ury $I0 day and expenses. They are required to report within thirty days of the organization of the Board of Arbitration to the chairman of the Inc terstate Commerce Commission. Their findings of fact are binding upon both partieS to the controversy.
