RAIL BOARD ORDERS
WORKERS RE|NSTATED
Ruling Admitted to be Contrary
to Many Decisions by U. s.
Supreme Court.

BY the Associa ted Press.
CHICAGO. September 1.-THE United
States Railroad Labor Board today
established a precedent that rail-
roads do not have the right to dis
charge employees without just cause.
in decision ruling that the Butler
County, Railroad. q forty-one mile
line in Southern Missouri, must REIN
state two men released because they
belonged to the same union as the
men working under them. The de-
cision said that the board was fully
aware its, ruling was contrary to
numerous United States Supreme
Geast dscisionat~a on thslnatt1a. hut
tBatit construed It's duty "a IS fo de-

ably regardless Of the legal rights Of
either side.
'4"The board is fully aware Of the
supreme court decisions (that a cor
poration has the right to discharge
IT'D men as it sees fit) and has no dis
position in any way to question the
soundness or justness of these decis-
The ruling then pointed out that
the transportation act, creating the
board. gave it no power to enforce its
decree, and that one might take the
view that the board was to decide its
cases according to the legal angles
and that a court would uphold and
enforce them, or that it was to decide
in a just and reasonable manner,
which would be as fair as possible
for all concerned.
The railroad. which runs from Pop

Mosley, two subordinate officials,

hood Of Maintenance of Way EN-
ployees and railway shop lAborers.
The board orders them reinstated and
paid in full for the time since their
discharge, less what they may have
earned in that time through other
work.
The decision held that while a rail-
road could pick its officials as it saw
At, joining a union was not just cause

CONVEN|NG SENATE
TO HAVE BIG TASK
Treaty With Germany and
Revised Tax Bill Probably
Up First.

When Congress reassembles We'd
nesday at noon. following a months
vacation. it will be confronted with
measures of great Importance.
The Senate will be requested by
the President to ratffy the newly ne
gotiated peace treaties with Germany
and Austria. These treaties will be
sent to the Senate almost Immediately
after ii meets. it is understood.
The most pressing piece of legisla-
ton. however. awaiting action of the
Senate is the tax revision bill. which
has been completed by the finance
committee and will be reported to the
Senate Wednesday. Undoubtedly, this
measure will be given the right of
w4y"in the Senate as far as possible.
The demand throughout the country
that the tax measure be put through
without delay has become 50 insistent
that the tariff bill was sidetracked
by the republican leaders so that the
tax measure could be acted upon.
AS soon as the tax bill has been
disposed of. the Senate finance COM
mittee will buckle down to work
again on the tariff measure. There
is little or no likelihood of the tariff
revision becoming law until some time
after the regular session of Congress
opens in December.
Borah Bill Up October 10,
Under a unanimous consent agree
ment entered into by the Senate, the
Borah bill to exempt from the pay
ment of tolls American coastwise ves-
sells passing through the Panama
canal will be voted on October 10.
1t seems probable this measure will
pass the Senate, though it may not be
called up in the House until after
the Limitation of arms conference has
had it's day here.
The House pretty we'll cleared it's
legislative decks before the adjourn
ment was taken last month. 1t has.
however. still to act upon the So
called maternity bill, passed by the
Senate, and a number of other meas
ures. among them the administration
bill for the funding of the foreign
debt.
The House put through the admin
istration bill for the funding of the
debts of the railroads, and this meas
ure is awaiting action in the Senate.
Considerable opposition to this meas
ure may be expected. though its ulti-
mate passage is predicted.
The anti-beer bill. which still re-
mains before the Senate for action,
will be pressed by the dry" forces
as soon as Congress reconvenes. The
conference report on the bill has been
adopted by the House and it requires
only the approval of the Senate to
send the bill to the President for his
signature.
The finishing touches also must be
placed upon good roads Legislation.
The good roads bill has reached the
conference stage.
Important ID. C. Bills.
So far as the District of Columbia lie
concerned a considerable amount OF
very important legislation ~has been
reported favorably to one or the other
Of the two houses of Congress and
