Mr. Bonar Law has written a let- ter to the Glasgow unionists in which he says he desires to continue as a maember of the house of commons.

The Labor Board established rules and working condi tions by 1thority of the transporta- ftion act. Che of these rules was that labor could be represented in its ne gotiations for wages and working conditions by representatives of its fown cholce. The Pennsylvania con- tended this m Pt compulsory récog- nition of outside labor unions. Stern réfusal to deal with any walking delegates or representatives of na tional labor unions served to inten- sify feeling between the railway em- ployes and the employers, but the Pennsylva argued that would no_sym- the Hard- i Supreme Court ¥ recently ne Court c lod the we tlon take nent in urg 1 of th 1 Board surprise here, { Pennsyl fer t s ad- it composéd wholly i Election Held Unfair. The American Federation of Labor's union, known as “system 0." appeal- ed to the Labor Board and an elec- tion was ordered to see what the em- {representatives. The Pennsylvania conducted its own election. which the Labor Board considered unfair, and it also found a flaw in the American Federation of Labor's method of bal- loting. The new election under rules prescribed by the Labor Board was [ never held because the Pennsylvania went into the faderal courts and suc- ceeded In tieing up the question for nearly two yvears. But the Supreme Court fiow has sustained the Labor Board's right to order an election, and the case of the Brotherhood of Rail- way and Steamship Clerks. Freight Handlers and Express Station Em- ployes is the first test. The latter has asked for a new elestion. The Labor Board invited Mr. Rea to ap- pear before the board, which he first refuses to do. though he realized he could be compelled by legal process to give testimeny. He finally cided to appear voluntarily. The Supreme Court, however, endeavored to approach the question. not from the viewpoint of legal rights to either party, but from moral grounds. stat- ing the case as follows 1 Deciares Right Inherent. “The counsel for the company sist that the right to deal with indi- vidual representatives of the em- ployes as to rules and working con- ditions is an inherent right which cannot be constitutionally taken from it. The employes, or at least those who are members of the labor union. contend that they have a lawful right to select their own representatives, 1 i the company to restrict them in their selection to employes of the company or to forbid seiection of officers of their labor unions qualified to deal with and protect their interests. This statute (the transportation act) cer- tainly does not deprive either side of the rights claimed. But title three of the transportation act was not enact- ed to provide a tribunal to determine what were the legal rights and obli- gations of railway employers and em- ployes or to enforce or protect them. Courts can do that. Created tor Co-Operation. The Labor Board was created to de- cide how the parties ought to exercise their legal rights so as to enable them to co-operate in running the railroad. It was to reach a fair com- promise between the parties without iregard to the legal rights, upon which each side might insist in a court of law. The board is to act as a board of arbitration, It is to give expression to Its views of the moral obligation {of each side as members of society ito agree upon a basis for co-operation in the work of running the railroad iin the public interest. The jurisdic- tion of the board to direct the parties to do what it deems they should o Is not to be limited by their comstitu- tional or legal right to refuse to do jit. Under the act there is no con- | straint_upon them to do what the {board decides they should do except the moral constraint, already mention- ed, of publication of its decisions.” Road Obtained Injanction, The Rallroad Labor Board did reach a decislon that the Pennsylvania rail- road In refusing {0 accept the formuia { for an election to determine employe representatives was in violation of the decrees of the board, but Pennsylvania secured an injunction against the publication of that de- cision, an injunction which the high- est court of the land now has thrown ouf. Bo the case goes back to the be- ginning. 1t the Pennsylvania sticks to its position that it will desl only with its own employes and recognize only the company organizations, the labor board will have to publish the fact of the Penngylvania's deflance to the whole country, trusting in the in- fluence of public opinion to compel a change of attitude on the part of the rallroad. The labor board does not say the Pennsylvania must recognize national labor unions, but that it should dea] with the men elected by the employes. The Supreme Court made a particular point of this, de- claring: Reecognitien Not Required. “The statute does not réquire the rail- way company to recognize or deal with or confer with labor unions. It does not require employes to deal with their employers through their fellow employes. But we think it does vest the Labor Board with power to decide how such r entatives ought to be chosen wit! view to securing a satisfactory co-operation and leaves it to the two sides to ac- cept or reject the decipion’ 'he Pennsylvania raifroad feels it Is making eatisfactory progress through the company union plan and Railroad Labor | instry- | is the cen- | th i hop- | attitude | deal only with company organizations : of its own employes. | I ploves really held to be their true de- | in- | and that it is not within the right of | the | T IGOVERNOR SHOWS STATE'S ADVANCE [North Carolina Spending Big Sum on Schools and Roads, Says Morrison. | Gov.
