They shall hold office for one year and until their successors are appointed and qualified. If a vacancy occurs, as soon as possible thereafter the governor shall appoint some one to serve the unexpired term; provided, however, that when the parties to any controversy or difference, as provided in section 2 of this act, do not desire to submit their controversy to the state board, they may by agreement each choose one person, and the two shall choose a third, who shall be chairman and umpire, and the three shall constitute a board of arbitration and conciliation for the special controversy submitted to it, and shall for that purpose have the same powers as the state board. The members of the said board or boards, before entering upon the duties of their office, shall be sworn to faithfully discharge the duties thereof. They shall adopt such rules of procedure as they may deem best to carry out the provisions of this act. § 2. Whenever any controversy or difference exists between an employer, whether an individual, copartnership, or corporation, which, if not arbitrated, would involve a strike or lockout, and his employees, the board shall, upon application, as hereinafter provided, and as soon as practicable thereafter, visit, if necessary, the locality of the dispute and make careful inquiry into the cause thereof, hear all persons interested therein who may come before them, advise the respective parties what, if anything, ought to be done or submitted to by either, or both, to adjust said dispute and make a written decision thereof. This decision shall at once be made public, and shall be recorded upon proper books of record to be kept by the board. §3. Said application shall be signed by said employer, or by a majority of his employees in the department of the business in which the controversy or difference exists, or their duly authorized agent, or by both parties, and shall contain a concise statement of the grievances complained of, and a promise to continue on in business or at work, without any lockout or strike, until the decision of said board, which must, if possible, be made within three weeks of the date of filing the application. Immediately upon receipt of said application, the chairman of said board shall cause public notice to be given of the time and place for hearing. Should the petitioners fail to keep the promise made therein, the board shall proceed no further thereupon without the written consent of the adverse party. And the party violating the contract shall pay the extra cost of the board entailed thereby. The board may then reopen the case and proceed to the final arbitration thereof as provided in section 2 hereof. §4. The decision rendered by the board shall be binding upon the parties who join in the application for six months, or until either party has given the other a written notice of his intention not to be further bound by the conditions thereof after the expiration of sixty days or any time agreed upon by the parties, which agreement shall be entered as a part of the decision. Said notice may be given to the employees by posting a notice thereof in three conspicuous places in the shop or factory where they work. § 5. Both employers and employees shall have the right at any time to submit to the board complaints or grievances and ask for an investigation thereof. The board shall decide whether the complaint is entitled to a public investigation, and if they decide in the affirmative, they shall proceed to hear testimony, after giving notice to all parties concerned, and publish the result of their investigations as soon as possible thereafter. § 6. The arbitrators hereby created shall be paid five dollars per day for each day of actual service, and also their necessary traveling and other expenses incident to the duties of their office shall be paid out of the state treasury; but the expenses and salaries hereby authorized shall not exceed the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars for the two years. §7. The sum of twenty-five hundred dollars is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the expenses of the board for the first two years after its organization. § 8. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. АСТ 224. TITLE 28. An act to regulate the practice of architecture. [Approved March 23, 1901. Stats. 1901, p. 641.
