based upon the theory that the board Of
trade, or any committee Of 1t, may not
usurp the power Of the courts in adj
Indicating contracts between members
of the board in which property rights
are involved; that this is strictly the
province of courts, except when volun-
tarily submitted by the parties interest

gambling it will meet with general app
prevail.
