There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of such difficulties as may in future arise between labor and capital in this State, it is hereby made the duty of the first legislative assembly to provide by law for the appointment by the governor, of a board to be known as the board of labor and arbitration, [*note*]

Such board shall consist of three reputable citizens of this State, not more than two of whom shall be of one political party, and shall be so constituted as to fairly represent the interests of both labor and capital. The duties of such board shall be such as the Legislature may prescribe by law, having at all times in view the object of properly adjusting such difficulties as may arise between labor and capital to the end that labor shall not on the one hand be unjustly opposed, and on the other that capital shall be protected in all lawful enterprises in this State.

The terms of office and compensation of such board shall be such as the Legislature may prescribe, conditioned that the term of office of not more than one of its members shall terminate in any one year.
