ARBITRATION LAW

Assemblyman Meyer Seeks to
Punish Firms or Workers
Violating Agreements
rr,,-, , s,,r corrrpoDd.nt Of The rrfpms.

rFrorn STAR Correspondent Of The Trirme
Albany. Jan. 90.-A plan for the pre-
vention of strikes which would require
that all disputes between employers and
employees be settled by a board Of
awards was proposed to-day in a bill
by Assemblyman Schuyler NJ. Meyer, Of
New York. Every public service cor
poration and its employees would be re-
quired to enter into a reciprocal con-
tract, approved by the Public Service
Commission, under which corporations
may not discharge an employe or an
employe may not leave or withdraw
from the service except under certain
conditions. Violation would be a mis-
demeanor.
Fines are provided for certain acts
or omissions. A fund for the payment
of these fines by the corporation is
to be deposited with a trustee, while to
pay fines imposed upon the employees
the corporation retains a percentage OF
their salaries. If either party violates
the agreement notice must be served
by the aggrieved party and the claim
adjudicated either by mutual consent
or by board of awards. Appeal from
this board may be taken to the Public
Service Commission and final appeal to
the court. The board of awards is to be
appointed by the corporation, the EN-
ployes and one member by the Public
Service Commission.
