MEMBER OF UNION ND LET OUT CAUSE
Men Fired for Brotherhood AffiIiation to Be Rehired,
 Says Labor Board
By AssocInted prcss

Chicago, September l7.--rhe United States Railroad Labor board today established precedent that rai- roads do not have the right to dis charge employees without just cause in a decision ruling that the Butler County railroad, 4t-mile line m southern Missouri, must relnstate two men released because they be- long to the same union as the men working under them. The decision ssid that the board was fully aware It's ruling was contrary to numerous United States supreme court decisions on the matter. but that it construed it's duty to be to decide every ques- ton justly and reasonably, regard less of the legal rights of either side.
 The board is fully aware of the supreme court decisions Cthat cor poration has the right to discharge its men as 1t sees fiD and has no dispositions in any way to question the soundness or justness of these decisions said the boards ruling.
 Has No Enforcement Power
 The ruling then pointed out that the transportation act, creating the board, gave it no power to enforce it's decree, and that one might take the view that the board was to de- eide it's cases according to the legal angles and that a court would up- hold and enforce them, or that it was to decide lin a just and req sonble manner" which would be as fair as possible for all concerned,
 The public interests demand con tinuous and uninterrupted operation of the transportation lines," said the decision.
 Tt is plausible to assume that the purpose of Congress Gin passing the Transportation acD was to provide as effective means as possible to pre- vent an interruption of traffic grow ing out of disputes. But without regard to which view of the purpose of this Legislation is correct, the board nevertheless feels that It should decide all disputes in man ner just and reasonable to the par ties concerned and, that Congress did not intend or expect to limit the la bor board according to the strict legal rights of the parties because, if 1t did, the disputes never could be solved"
 The railroad which runs from Poplar Bluffs, Mo, to Tipperary, Mo, discharged Jesse Hicks and Frank Mosley, two subordinate off cials, when they joined the Brother hood of Maintenance of Way Elm ployes and Railway Shop raborers The board ordered them reinstated and paid in full for their time since their discharge. less what they may have earned in that time through other work.
 The decision held that while rail- road coud pick it's officials as it saw fit, joining a union was not just cause for discharge.

District Reduces Tax Rate
Despite Increased Burden
Commission Fixes Levy at $l.S2 for Each $l0o;
Slashes Thirteen Cents From Last
Years Base of Pay.

A reduction of thirteen cents in the
District tax rate from the rate last
year of sl.s5 for each 500 of as
sessed value of taxable real estate
and tangible personal property. was
announced yesterday by the Board Of
Commissioners upon their receipt Of
the report of Daniel J. Donovan,
District auditor. estimating the
amounts for appropriations for the
District for the fiscal year ending
July /, 1922. The rate for the fiscal
year Is s1.S2.
The auditors report shows that
IL the former plan of appropriations
by Congress for the District, of
special amounts instead of the pres
ent method of the 6o-4o appropria-
ton. the tax rate for this year
could be lowered to $1.5e.
Covers District share.
The total appropriations for 1922
amounts to s23.765. 5.222.s9 of which
the District will pay so per cent or
s14.308,sS1, and the government the
remainder. The rate of $1.S2 will
cover the Districts share of the ap-
propriations and leave a balance
July /, 1929 of about $4,000.
A surplus of $515,416-3S is on
hand from the tax rate of last year
of $l.95, which is to be included in
the revenues of this fiscal year. This
was done upon the advice of Cor
poration Counsel stephens. who said

done In order to produce more rev.
enue to meet the increased cost for
the District caused by the legisla-
ton.
VIII Relieve Burden
This would be an unfair burden
on the tax payers according TO Mr..
Stephens. in that IL would force
them to meet both the ten per cent
increase in the 6o-4o plan for ap-
tropriations. and the tax assess
ment sufficient to produce this sur
plus fund suggested by Congress
which would merely lie idle in the
Treasury.
The rate of s1.s2 on the total esti-
mated assessment Of s539.7s5, 900
will produce ss.s24,26s in revenues.
The balance Of the sl4.3os.sSl as
sessments will be made up from
special taxes and incomes. The
District has collected a net revenue
of s15.255.1ss.47 in the year just end
ed, and appropriations Of sI2,73s.-
775.0s were charged against them.
The balance or the surplus now on
hand, is S5l5,I16.3s.
