they might do without. 1t seems as if
any one might understand the obiec-
ton Of the farmers, who have always
risen at daybreak. and this hour. bv

about the widespread epidemics of

But at the Nolstead act the road

because of the existence of a repeal

some this seems illogical.
But the discrimination is not with
out logic If the effect Of modif-
cation is to authorize traffic in in
toXicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses, then it Is repeal Of the
amendment by mere act of Congress,
something which is unconstitutional.
Not that the Nolstead act is an un-
changeable fnality. It's friends have
already changed it by adding q
clause which forbids the use of beer
as medicine. But if regulations are
relaxed or definitions are rewritten
to permit in fact traffic in intoxicat-

The Railroad Boards Error

When the Pennsylvania Railroad
challenged the Railroad Labor
Boards authority to prescribe
methods for the selection of en-
ployee representatives to local CON
ference committees the common i'm
preston was that an attempt was
being made to annul powers giveo
TO the board by Congress. TIE
decision by Judge Page in .hc
Northern Illinois District Court
shows that this impression was not
we'll founded
The Labor Board in ordering the
carriers to institute local confer
ences laid down certain principles
to be followed One was that tlie
majority of any craft or class
should have the right to determine
what organization should represent
them. The Pennsylvania Railroad
IN arranging for the elections held
that each employee should vote FOX
an individual as his representative
and that this individual must be an
employee of the voters own class
and on his own operating division.
Thus non-employees and officers Of
outside unions We're excluded
The board heard a complaint from
an outside organization and ruled
against the Pennsylvania manage
ment. The latter sought an injunc-
ton, which was granted temporarily
by Judge Lands and made perma-
nent by Judge Page. The count
held that the board plainly exceeded
it's authority in trying TO impose eX-
traneous representation on the
roads. q am of the opinion" " Judge
Page said, that the purpose Of Sec
tion 301 of the Esch- -Cummins act
was to leave to the carrier and its
employees full liberty to get to-
gether in their own way"
Wo-thlrds of the Pennsylvania
employees, in fact, agreed to the
/ companys direct representation
plan. Moreover, the board was au-
thorized to hear and decide local
disputes only when the confereos
were unable to decide, and then only
If both parties asked for a decision.
This didn't happen in the case on
which the board sided against the
railroad. The board was Interpret
ing its powers without reference to
the limitations of the law, and WAS
IN reality. invading the field of rail
road management.
The aggression, Judge Page has
shown, was on the boards S side and
not on the railroads. The Federal
commissioners erred, apparently. in
seeking to inject into the law some
Of the oNtromcr theories Of nation
ahzation exploited under the Nc
Adoo-Hines regime Of Federal ad.
