 GIVES DECISION
 IMPORTANT CASE.
Legislation on Railroad Col lective Bargaining Is
 Sustained
UNANIMOUS RULING
 IS RENDERED TODAY
Constitutionality of Other Measures Are Acted
 Upon by Justices

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Supreme Court today unanimously upheld the provisions of the Rail- way Labor Act, requiring railroads to engage in collective bargaining with their workers in an effort to settle industrial disputes.
 Associate Justice Harlan Fisk Stone delivered the opinion which Administration leaders are study ing for possible indications as to what the courts views on the Wag- ner Labor Relations Act may be. The Wagner Act Is involved in other litigation but does not apply to rail- road workmen.
 Collective Bargaining The decision today was delivered in the case brought by the virginian Railway Company against group of Its employees who belonged to the American Federation of Labor, and affirmed the ruling of the Fourth Court of Appeals directing the railway to engage in collective bargaining.
 Tn considering the propriety of equitable relief granted here. we cannot ignore the judgment of Con- gress deliberately expressed in the legislation. that where obstruction of company union is removed at a meeting of employees and employ CTS at conference table, it is a powerful aid to industrial peace" said the opinion.

NEW CIVIC BALLOT
.BE|NGD|STR|BUTED
Chevy Chase Seeks to Have
All Members Give Views
on Current Affairs.

The Chevy Chase Citizens Associa-
ton yesterday mailed to the 1900
members on its books ballot contain
Ing questions of civic interest and i'm
portance. following up the successful
reception similar ballot was given
last year.
Many Of the questions discussed at
civic meetings and in the newspapers
in the past year have been placed on
the ballot, which includes taxation
questions, District representation, re-
organization Of the District govern
ment and other matters.
All Issues Covered.
Everything of local concern has
been included" Edwin s. Hege, presi-
dent of the association, said yesterday
ut will give vastly superior survey
Of public sentiment and represents
what I believe to be one Of the best
pieces of civic effort ever put forth in
Washington"
AS soon as the ballots are marked
by the members and returned to the
associations secretary the results will
be announced, he said. When the bal
lot was first introduced in the asso-
citation last year about 80 per cent of
the members made returns.
Last years ballot required a greater
familiarity on the part of the men,
Der with civic problems, Mr.. Hege ex-
planned. This year the ballot contains
matters which have been discussed al
great length in the newspapers, ano
every one should be familiar with them
and should be able to mark down their
sentiments, he added.
II expect much greater return
this year." he said. Sin fact I will be
greatly disappointed II We do not get
nearly 100 per cent back"
Ballot Preferred.
According to Mr.. Hege this method
OF getting public sentiment is vastly
superior to that OF voting at associa-
ton meetings. Many members are
prohibited from attending because OF
sickness, conflicting engagements and
because Of other reasons, and only a
small percentage of the association
total membership is being heard at
the regular monthly meetings. 1--WE
want to give every one an opportunity
to be heard, and I cannot think of q
better method than this ballot.
Il would like to see other associa-
tions adopt this method Also" he
said.

New Liquor Regulation
Expected to Tighten Burden.

POPULAR approval is being given
to the amendment to the liquor
regulations adopted last week by
the Commissioners on the recon-
mendation Of the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board. This Is in
tended to end repeated hearings on
applications for liquor licenses in
cases refused by the board. The
continued reopening Of such cases
has imposed a heavy burden upon
citizens Of the affected neighbor-
hoods as we'll as upon the board.
Under the new rule an applicant
denied a permit IS required to wait
a year before the case may be re-
considered, and when there has
been a second denial it cannot be
reconsidered within four years of
the time Of the second denial.
There is, however, an exception to
the rule, which provides that where
new and pertinent evidence is pre-
sented, or where the physical con-
ditions are shown to have changed
materially, the A. B. C. Board, at
Its discretion, can set an earlier date
for rehearing.
Among association members there
