JUSTICES OF PEACE MUST
FURNISH OWN OFFICES

Austin, Tex-In an opinion written
by Assistant Attorney General Sutton
to county auditor at Paio Pinto, Tex
as, the attorney generals department
has held that the county commission
ers court is not authorized by law to
furnish offices for justices OF the
peace, except as provided in chapter
"a, general laws Of the Seth legisla-
ture. which statute requires that suit
able places shall be provided and fur
nished in the court house for holding
of court by justices of the peace in the
precinct where there are more than
Is 600 inha bitants in such justice pre-
cinct
The opinion further states: In all
other instances the commissioners
court Is without authority to furnish
offices for justices of the peace and
hence said court is not authorized to
pay office rent out Of county POUNDS
for justices of the peace"
The opinion discloses that this law
applies only to the larger counties or
the state, hence the county auditor of
.Palo Pinto county would not be au-
thorized to approve warrants for the
payment of office rent for justices of
the peace in that county.

DECISION MADE BY
U.S.. LABOR BOARD
Railroad Labor Board Orders
Abrogation Of National
Agreements.

Chicago, Il.-National agreements
defining working conditions for en-
ployes on all American railroads for
merly under the federal railroad ad.

abrogated, effective July !. 1921, by
the United States railroad labor board
The board called upon the officers
and system organizations Of employees
OF each road to select representatives
ito confer and to decide" as much of
Such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date the decision
said.
While the decision did not specifical-
ly say so, members of the board said
that all disputes as to rules and work
ing conditions automatically were re.
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and its
employees. This method Of procedure
had been sought by railroads, where
as the labor side favored national
conference between representatives OF
all roads and all unions.
The decision affected all railroad
employees except those on train serv-
ice who are under separate agree
ments between individual railroads
and the four big brotherhoods.
In connection with the conference
negotiations, the board laid down a
set of sixteen principles which are
to serve as a foundation for any rules
which may be agreed to in the confer
ence. The present general rules hear
| ing before the labor board, which has
been in progress since January 10
will continue until both sides have
/ completed their testimony, following
which the board will promulgate such
rules as it determines just and rea
sonabe as soon after July ], 1921
! as is reasonably possible, and viii
make them effective as of July /
1921"
The sixteen principles outlined BY
the board were drawn Up by Henry
T. Hunt of the public group and up
held the right of employees to organize
! for lawful purposes, the right OF EN-
ployes to negotiate, through represen
tatives of their own choosing, the
right of seniority and the principle:
; of the eight-hour day. 1t was speci
fled that Eight hours work must bt
given for eight hours pay" Espion
age should not be practiced by eipel
side, the decision said. and employees
representatives should have the righ
to make an agreement applying to al
employees in the craft or class OF thu
representatives.
