A Matter of Confidence.

1he railroad LABOR SoarQ, dppOlnt-
ed under the law of 1920, consists OF
nine members, of whom three repre-
sent railroad management, three the
railroad workers and three are nomi-
mated by the president to represent
the public. The representatives OF
labor on the board are Albert Phillips,
vice-president of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Engineer
men, of Group /; 40. Wharton, of
the Railway Employees Department
of the American Federation of Labor,
and Walter D. McMenimen, ex-presi-
dent of Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen.
These gentlemen, chosen by the
railroad workers and participating as
mer Ners Of the board, are under obli-
cation to abide by the findings OF
a majority of the boards members.
They were under no compulsion to
accept membership and the railroad
unions should at least have forbome
to share IN the composition Of the
board unless they were prepared to
carry out its orders in good fat:
In short, the verdict Of the public
will be that when the railroad un-
ions accepted the wage board as
tribunal of arbitration by contribut-
ing their representatives to its mem
bership, they bound themselves to be
governed by its decisions. Any 9TH
er construction of the boards power
and nature should be equivalent to
denouncing it is subterfuge and a
farce from its beginning.
While the board is without power in
law to force its DEGREES, it was es-
tablished in the. hope and in the be-
lief that it would serve as an instru-
ment for the peaceful and friendly
readjustment of wage schedules for.
seen as inevitable in every branch OF
industry and trade. It appeared to
the congress, creating the board, that
q body consisting of representatives
of two parties to the labor contract
employees and employers, and Of the
public, would have the good sense to
arrive at a solution of the problems
certain to arise. When the railroad
unions assented to the establishment
of the board by sending their repre-
sentatives to it the conclusion fol-
lowed that they were prepared to re-
ceive its judgments as decisive and te
waive the resort to industrial war
fare, that is, the strike.
The public, which does not rebe
against the decisions of the board, ir
fact surrenders large part of it:
rights by consenting to its existence
The public is under no shadow oi
obligation to admit that organized
railroad workers should enjoy thire
of the power in this quasi court
From the point of view of the public
the organized worker is not superior
as a citizen to the non-union maj
but, in the thought that the railroad
unions by entering the arrangement
would put an end to railroad strikes
it willingly permitted them to b
clothed with this extraordinary ant
privileged measure of authority.
Thus, the railroad unions were &C

but that the treasurer has so far re-
fused to pay the warrants previously
issued, and that the money so collect
ed from the taxpayers has been trans
ferred to other funds of the county.
The decision is particularly pleasing
to many persons who have purchased
warrants for investment, and who
have been unable to collect the money
due them upon the same, and who
feared that the warrants might eve
be %collectible. The classifiers, as we'll
as the taxpayers of Sheridan county
have undoubtedly been to considerable
expense growing out of this litigation,
which has been before the supreme
court twice, and before the district
court many more times.
Hurry, Kline & Slattery, of this
city, and Howard M. Lewis of Plenty
wood, were attorneys for Lockwood &
Blakeslee in the last proceeding in
stituted, and which has just been de-
cided by the supreme court, and B. X.
Wheeler and James H. Baldwin, of
Butte, and A. T. Vollum, of Plenty
wood, were attorneys for the county
officers.

was void.
Claims of Lockwood & Blakeslee for
all but about $1,000 due them had pre-
viously been allowed by the board, and
to obtain possession of these warrants
the new proceeding was instituted in
the supreme court without bringing a
new action in the district court.
Messrs. Lockwood and Blakeslee asked
the clerk and recorder and the chair
man Of the county board to fully ex-
ecute and deliver the warrants for this
sum-, and that the treasurer issue the
same.
These officers contended that the
supreme court had no jurisdiction to
try a case of this nature, and that the
curative act validating the contract
was unconstitutional.
The supreme court, however, holds
that the board of county commissioners
are the only body having power to
determine whether claims should or
should not be allowed against the
county, and that the clerk of the board
has no power to arbitrarily refuse to
issue warrants which have been direct
ed to be issued by the board, and that
even the chairman of the board must
sign the warrants in proper form, in
order to carry out the order Of the
board in allowing claims. The court,
according to the brief references we
have been able to see concerning the
disposition of the case, also holds that
the Legislature may in certain cases
validate acts which have been held
unconstitutional by the courts, and
that where services have been per-
formed for a county, it is the duty of
the county to pay for the services,
and that the mere clerk of the board
may not question the right of the
county to do this. The supreme court
directs the clerk and recorder and
the chairman of the board to execute
and deliver the warrants to Lockwood
& Blakeslee.
1t is also understood that in Sheri-
dan county the land owners have been
paying the tax levied for the purpose
of paying the claims for classification,

the district court directing the COM

passage Of the curative act the COM
missioners and their attorneys came
into court, it is understood, and con-
scented that the appeal might be dis
missed, and that the warrants would
issue. After issuance of the warrants
the clerk and recorder issued war;
rants which, however, were not COM
plete, in that the clerk failed to in
sert in the body Of the warrants the
amount of money due thereon, and the
treasurer refused to register the same.
For this refusal they were cited and
fined for contempt, as already noted.
The supreme court set this order in
the contempt case aside on the ground
that the attorneys had no right to
dismiss the appeal without having an
order from the supreme court, and
that therefore the order in contempt
