Committee has as little doubt as upon the
first. Sec. 5, of Art. 7, of Constitution of
Sub. Div. declares that 1.-THE parties shall
have the privilege of being heard before the
Division" If any Division has acted in
opposition to these plain mandates of the
highest authority known to our Order, it has
done g%rievous wrong and has violated the
rights guaranteed to all, and which can nei-
Their legally nor rightfully be taken away.
