The Southern coroner's juries, ac cording to last reports, have changed the usual "by parties unknown" lynch ing verdicts to those which are In effect "by parties to be commended." Justice Shlras' Advice. WE HAVE long; maintained that before labor unions can attain the best re sults for themselves and for tho public Interest they will need to become Incorporated. Labor unions seek to shnre with capital unions the con trol of industry. But capital unions art: responsible at law, while labor unions are not. Until this discrepancy shall be bridged, the large employing; Inter ests will continue In many instances to resist the advances of the labor unions, especially when they take the form of demands for term contracts. Some unions are so conservatively managed that resistance from employers to con tract agreements with them has partly or wholly disappeared; but the number of such is small In comparison with the number of those which have not yet won recognition and the honest confidence of the businesss world. We notice that George Shlras, Jr., Justice of the United States Supreme court, Is credited with en opinion to the same effect. Speaking in Pittsburg Wednesday to a reporter concerning the nnthracite miners' strike, he said: "Arbitration Is the logical method of settling 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 nation; but arbitra tion itself Is logical. There Is now one great difficulty standing In the way of nn 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 arbitration law. The unions must be responsible for the carrying out of an agreement, and until they are there Is little hope for compulsory arbitration of labor troubles." It is plainly anomalous that In u civ ilized country, where courts are open for the peaceful redress of most of the grievances of life, no adequate provis ion exists under seal of law for the protection of business rights In the event of a wholesale conflict between capital and labor. A husband and wife who, by prolonged quarreling, should disturb the peace and comfort of a community could, notwithstanding tho legal safeguards surrounding the right of domicile, be compelled to appear in n court of justice to answer for their heWlgerency, But the owners of a largo Industry nml their employes may dis agree, fight, and Injure not only them selves but likewise hundreds of thou sands of neutrals, und there la no ef fective fonu of governmental Interven tion, though in the latter Instance tho need for It is manifestly larger nnd more Imperative than In tho former. President Roosevelt In his Incisive speeches li New England Is calling public attention to tho growing need of federal supervisory control over tho great Incorporations, commonly called trusts, ' which In recent years liavo sprung up with enormous power, alike for goojl,.und for evil; and In the gen crul view" ho Is Interpreted to refer to combinations of capitalists for enter prise or for extortion. Hut nothing which ho says as to the possibilities of mischief In vast centralizations of capi tal Is Inapplicable likewise to tho Im mense jtnlonsof laboring men rece'ntly come Into being; ' nor can either bo overlooked tf the law 'is to treat all citizens anil groups of citizens Impar tially. When men-combine to found nn In dustry.'thelr Incorporation Is, or should be, a public and tangible guarantee of good f.jjth. U commits them, under the law, toJ,well defined responsibility and liability. If tho law surrounding their Incorporation Is not sufficiently exact to protect public Interest and afford safeguards against public evil doing, amendment of the law Is always pes B(blo wlien sufllelently demanded' by public sentiment. But the average labor union tuay has legally no such posi tion, It can neither sue nor be sued. The consequence Is that when It gets Into thq control of unfit men, its sub stantial members are frequently power less to bring it into a correct attitude, and many employers are afraid to trust It. Justice Shlrus' advice to labor unions to Incorporate is founded, wo believe, Upon a rapidly growing conviction thnt unless they shall do so they will prove themselves unable In the long run to cope MiocoFSfiltly with the great Incor porations of capital which are rapidly gaining the mastery over Aincrjcan In dustry. It comes from a source free from prejudice or bins nnd thereforo merits thoughtful consideration. There seems to bo quite a discrepancy between tho statement of Mr. Mitchell, "that the union minors have never tried to prevent non-members from working," and the stories given by tho men who write the pross reports of disorders In tho Panther Creek region. Ona Lesson Yet to Be Learned. Pit K HIDHN'T MITCHHLL'B statement that "the members of the minors' organization have never sought to prevent non-union members from working with them In the mines," coupled with his assertion that "they have no Intention of seeking to abridge the right of any mine workers to become or not to be come n member of the organization In tho future," constitutes an Interesting contribution to strike literature. ' Issued in reply to the letter of Mr. Hewitt, It misses tho laller'n main point, thnt non-union men are now being prevented by union men from ex ercising their right to work without in terference. It would hardly be possible for Mr. Mitchell or anybody else to deny that there Is such Interference. If there were not, there would be no oc casion for troops or mine guards to be In the field nor would the papers con tain, as they do, dally reports of violent Interference. Only yesterday the Phila delphia North American, a paper cer tainly not unfriendly to the miners' cause, printed conspicuously this dis patch from Mt. Carmel: Becatibo her son wns a non-union work man, six pall bearers at tho funeral of the lato Mrs. Manilla WortulUH, of this plnce. today refused to bear her body to the grave. Tho pall bearers were all union men, and when they were told that the dead woman hud a son working at ono of tho collieries, they refused to act. This, of course, was not an official act of tho miners' union. It had no sanction from Mr. Mitchell or any- of his subordinates in the organization over which he presides. It was Individ ual. So are most, if not all, of the fre quently occurring Instances of violence perpetrated upon non-union men by members of or sympathizers with the union. And It may be that the numer ous local strikes and threats of strikes which last year took place 'throughout the anthracite region In consequence of the refusal of many operators to permit representatives of the union to 'stand at the entrance to the mine and enforce nn Inspection of working cards issued by the union were due to individual and local feeling and were not In pursuance of a policy hav ing the sanction of the entire organiza tion. Our information on these points is not exact. But a state of feeling producing such acts must be reckoned with not less than the authorized claims and de mands of the miners' organization. Our own opinion is that the union idea hus come to stay in the coal fields. We do not think that It can be eliminated, no matter how the present strike ends. And If it can be divested of unfair features and educated Into lines of a better usefulness, Its elimination would be a loss, not only to the men but also to the companies and to the public. In the long run we think that It will be so divested and educnted. While perfection is hardly to be expected In any direction, It is noticeable that ex cesses have been fewer during this strike, at least In the vicinity of Scran ton, than during either of the preceding long strikes In the history of the mining industry fewer in number and smaller in size. The room for improvement, however, Is yet very large; and ono thing especially which has to be learned Is that no abridgement by any In fluence of the right to work can be tolerated in a country calling itself free. The reports of shocking automobile Occidents that reach us nearly every day of course cannot bo expected to have any effect in reducing the exuDer miw of some of tho men who occupy seats in those infernal machines of snow-plow aspect. It would be no fun fnp one of the scorching automobile owners to travel on the streets ut a rate of speed under fifty miles an hour. Trusts and the tariff. IN VIEW of the turn which the discussion of trusts has taken and also In view of the attempt of certain political influences to create a confusion In public opinion, certain facts are worthy of frequent re iteration, i The first trust successfully lnsjl luted In tills country was the Standard OH company. There Is no tariff duty on petroleum. Some persons say there Is an anthracite coal trust. There is no tariff duty on anthracite coal. Henry W. Mncrosty, a well-known ISngllflh authority, In his recent work on "Trusts and the State," says: "Great Britain has u trust movement of her own, which does not originate from American example, but is native to the soil. Let It further bo remem bered that Britain Is free trade. Tho Nobel Dynamite trust was founded In 18S2, and Is highly successful. If wo tako the ordinary criterion of a trust, that H must control about 70 per cent, of the business of Its trade or district, then wo can reckon about forty such combinations, whoso total capitaliza tions runs up to 45O,00O,O00, and this figure Is qulvalent to double tho sum In America In tho Iron and steel In dustries, we find Inrgo firms trying to make themselves self-contained by the absorption of ancillary business, so that everything may bo In their own hands, from tho extraction of raw ma terial to the sale of finished articles, A round dozen such firms have a total capitalization of $125,000,000. This form of combination Is spreading rapidly," Tho trusts of Germuny are equally well known. Theie exists among the coal mining Industries seventeen differ ent combinations; in the Iron indus try, eighty; metal Industry, fifteen; chemical works, eighty-two, and var ious other syndicates, ''selling agree- menls," nnd knrlcls numbering alto gether nearly 350. Tho effdrt now on Toot Is to bring together the. various kartels of the lron( metal nnd coal In dustry. Consul General Mason report ed nearly four hundred of such combi nations In 1SDT, but Blnco that time, by larger consolidations, tho number, ho nays, has been reduced nenrly one-half. He has nlfo explained how bounties, up to $3 a ton, were paid by the plate syndicate, the wlro rod syndicate, as sisted by tho coal, coke, pig Iron nnd steel syndicates, "when the mills shpuld provo that their products are shipped nbrond." It Is thus Bhown that thpso syndicates pay heavy boun ties on exports, and it Is further proved beyond question that even with this aid' tho exported product Is sold abroad for less than cost In many cases. That Is the kind of. competition our people have in meet where they nre not pro tected by tho tariff. It may be necessary some of these days to revise the tariff, conservative ly. But the trusts will not be per mitted to hide behind the tariff nnd demand thnt it be pulled to pieces be fore they can be reached. Cuba's most serious difficulty nt nrpspnt.

As with ourselves, so with those coun tries, the set of population litis been to the towns; necessarily, therefore, there has been a more vigorous search than formerly for an outlet for tho power ubovo referred to. We are still nhend of either country In our power of manufac ture for export, but beginning from a lower level, each country Is traveling up wards more rapidly than we are who oc cupy a higher eminence. If peace Is maintained, both Germany nnd the Unit ed States are certain to Increase their rato of upwatd movement. Their compe tition with us in neutral markets, nnd even In our homo matkets, will probably, unless we ourselves nre active, become Increasingly serious. Every year will add to their acquired capital and skill, nnd they will have laigor and lnrger addi tions to their population to draw from. "The Increase of 17,000,000 In the town population of tho United States between 1870 and 1900 exceeds by 7,000,000 the total Increase of tho population of the United Kingdom In the same period. "Both in raising coal and producing pig iron, therefore, nn outlet would appear to havo been found to some extent for tho annually Increasing numbers of the popu lation available fpr Industry nnd manu facturing In Germany and the United States; and It cannot be said that the predominance or even tho pre-eminence of tho United Kingdom are nny longer what they were, as fnr ns these old fields of Industry are concerned. "Wo hnve lost ground, proportionately, in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile nnd China, though tho percentage loss Is in each case small, and In each of these coun tries tho United States have gained ground. In the Japnnese trnde we linve lost moro heavily, our sharo of Japan's Imports having declined from 33 to 21 per cent.; while tho United States' share hns Increased from S to 15 per cent.; the vnluo of the wholo Japanese Import trade being now about 5130,000,000 per annum. In tho case of our colonies, also, though we are still retnlnlng the lion's share, Germany has made somo trilling gnlns, while the United Slntcs have Inci eased their hliaie of tho Australian and South Alrlcnn trades apparently nt our etpeii3e. The snmo has to bo said with regard to the United States nnd British shares of tho trado of British North America, tho British West Indies, and British Gulnnn." This Inst paragraph is particularly In teresting to us, ns It ndmlts thnt wo nro making some headway In trade with our water-reached customeis, but It Is easy to foresee how much larger tho figures will ho in our favor when wo havo n suf ficient number of neenn going steamships, and build the Isthmian canal.

Tho fol lowing selection from his introductory lines will best Indicate tho point of lew: "In tho presence of tho inllnito problem of life, tho voice of Science Is dumb, for Science Is tho coordinate nnd coi reeled expression of human cxpcilonce, and hu man exporlenco must stop with tho limi tations of human life, It Is my purposo hero to Indlcuto somo part of the answer of Sclonco to tho Philosophy of Despair.
