ordinate official, or organization there
of, may upon It's own motion after due
notice and hearing TO all persons di-
rsctly interested In such violation. de-
termine whether in It's opinion such
violation has occurred and make pub
lie its decision in such manner as Il
may determine" Neither party TO
case before the Board is required to
agree 10 accept and TO abide by the
