primarily a scientific Investigating body rather than a combination of judge and prosecutor. That implies 3 profound shift in the boards ap- proach to its job.
 For instance: technically, the board is not what everyone sup poses it to be - a law enforcement agency. It has no power to com- pei an employer to do anything. It can't enforce its own decrees. All 1t can do is go to a federal court and, in effect, say: We find the facts to be thus and so and we feel that, the remedy should be such and such. Plesae look the whole business over, and if you see it the way we do please issue an order"
 That being so, the "new major ity" sees the big job as one of getting the facts-all the facts, not i merely the ones which will sup ] port an accusation. For the board as they see it is not out to prose-
 cute someone for violating law: it is out to study complaint, col
 lect and examine the facts, and
 see what those facts indicate.
 This means extensive research \ by trained men. It means much
 less wrangling by lawyers, much less ruling -out of evidence as "in-
 admissible" in labor board hear
 ings. It means a labor board tackling a given job like an assay
 CT who examines an ore sample
 not to find out if there is one spe-
 cific element in the sample but to
 learn exactly how many elements
 and there and in what proportions.
 BIG JOB:
 GET FACTS
 Along with all of this there will | be new emphasis on impar- tiality of approach and manner Both Dr. Mills and Dr. Leiserson
 have spent years in the arbitration
 and mediation of labor cases. Me-
 diation has no place in their pres- ent job = but the job is a lot like | that Of an arbitrator
 An arbitrator in a labor case is
 given a contract between two parties. He studies it to see ex-
 actly what it provides. Then he
 studies the facts, to see exactly how the situation which those facts create is affected by the pro- visions of the contract.
 In way. that's similar to the labor boards job as these men see | it. In place of a labor contract, there is the Wagner Act; find out what the facts are when there is complaint, match them against the law, and see what you get bearing in mind always that the big job is to get the facts, not to make out case against somebody.
 GOES BACK
 TO PUBLIC
 Mostly (to repeaD that is a matter of emphasis and ap-
 proach. It implies that it's not
 enough to reach the right verdict
 unless you reach it in the right
 way. All parties must be con- i vinced that the board is fair and | is doing its level best to dispense justice. In every case that comes
 before the board, somebody is go- | ing to lose: unless the loser feels that he got fair break from a
 studiously impartial tribunal, he's going to be sore and SO is the gen.
 eral public. And if the public gets 1 sore enough, the labor board is
 going to come cropper no mat
 ter how right it has been.

Eighty Per Cent Of
Alfdlfd Seed In Bdq

Local seed dealers report that
about 80 per cent of the alfalfa
seed crop has been threShed and
the product is of better quality
than last year. The crop will be
larger than that of last year,
but due to lower prices for seed
the returns will not be as great.
Several thousand sacks of fine
quality seed have been shipped
from Big Horn county within
the past two weeks.
This is the first time within
10 years of seed growing in this
section that two bumper crops
of seed have been harvested
in two successive growing sea-
sons. Heavy rains during har-
vesting of the crop can do much
damage to yield and quality of
the seed. Last year and this sea-
son the weather has been almost
ideal for producing a big yield
and good quality.
A rough estimate of the value
of the two bumper crops raised
in Big Horn county would be
over one million dollars.

DEATH CLOSES
ACTIVE LIFE

Word was received sunday by
j. Albert Youst that his father,
George E. Youst, SO, had died
that day in the Methodist Home
for the Aged at Topeka, KanS.
Due to gradual failing health,
the elderly gentleman had been
visited twice within the past
year by his son, Albert, of
Hardin.
George E. YouSt was born in
West Virginia, May IS, 1854. In
1870 he went to Kansas and sew
eral years later to New Mexico.
In 1890 he came to Montana, eS-
tablished his home in this state
and was engaged many years in
stock raising. In 1891 he was
a member of the surveying
crew, which laid out the course
of the Burlington railroad from
Sheridan, Wyo., to Pryor Gap.
Part of this stretch of railroad
from Toluca to Pryor Gap was
abandoned years ago.
Because of his long residence
in this section of the state he
was widely known by many live
stock men and pioneer resi-
dents. He lived for many years
at Belfry, Mont. Several years
ago he retired from active work
and went to Topeka.
Surviving him are three sons,
Claude and George of Belfry,
Albert of Hardin; a daughter,
Mrs. E. T. Phelan, of Flagstaff,
Ariz.; several grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
