Court Decision
Affects Extent of
Rail Labor Board

Washington, March 2.-The SUI
preme courts decision today, hold
ing in effect that railroads are not
compelled by law to submit labor
disputes to the railroad labor board,
and are at liberty to determine
whom they will recognize as repre-
sentatiyes of their employees, is eX-
pected to have a considerable effect
on the boards authority.
The courts decision was handed
down by Chief Justice Taft, in cases
brought against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company by two labor. Or
CARNATIONS, which charged conspir-
acy to defeat the provisions of the
transportation act and to- deprive
! them of rights by coercion and
/ threats through refusal TO treat with
| their representatives.
1t had been indicated that in event
the court upheld the stand of the
PENNSYLVANIA company in recognize
ing only representatives of grievance
committees organized among it's ,wn
employees in wage and other dis
putes, number of other railroads
would ignore the railroad labor
Loard under similar conditions.
Pointing out that the company
paul tHc eNbGHSeS Oh tDe com HllttOeS
and carried their permanent officers
upon its payroll, the court held that
1t had, through such an organization
uealt with its employees within the
meaning of the law, although at the
time the committees We're elected
they did not represent q majority Of
the employees.
Citing that tire charge of conspir-
acy i'll connection with the unions
request that the company be enjoin-
ed from enforcing agreements with
the committees and from refusing to
confer with representatives of the
unions, involved a statutory offense
which might be enjoined as we'll as
punished. Chief Justice Taft stated
that the issue presented the question
whether congress in the transporta-
ton act had by positive obligatory
law created duty which could be
enforced upon the company and it's
officers.
There is nothing compulsory in
the provisions of the statute as
against the company or the employ
es," he held, upon the basis of which
either acquire additional rights
against the other which can be en-
forced in court of law"

part OF the act creating the railroad
