366 LAWS OF MARYLAND.

The said committee shall have power to apply to any Justice
of the Peace for the City of Baltimore to issue subpoenas and
other compulsory process to procure the attendance of wit-
nesses before it; and all justices so applied to in writing, signed
by the chairman or acting chairman of said committee, shall
issue such process forthwith, the cost of the same, and of the
attendance of the witnesses so summoned, to be the same as in
civil suits before such justices, and to be collectible from the
parties on whose behalf the said witnesses shall be summoned
and attend, in the same manner and by the same means as if
adjudged to be paid by a judgment of the justice who shall act
in the premises in a civil suit between the same parties depend-
ing before him. A majority of said committee may act in all
cases, and a majority of such majority shall have power to
render an award in the name of and as an act of the committee.
No dissenting award or opinions shall be rendered or placed
among the proceedings, or upon the records of the committee
or the corporation; the award of the committee rendered in
conformity herewith, and as prescribed by the by-laws, shall
be conclusive on all parties to the submission. It shall in all
cases be in writing, signed by the members of the committee
who agreed upon it, and filed among the proceedings of the
committee, but copies shall be given by the secretary, with his
attestation and the seal of the corporation attached, to the re-
spective parties, as soon as may be after said award shall have
been rendered.

228. If the parties to any submission, shall agree to do so
they may stipulate as part of said submission, in writing, that
the award of the committee rendered in conformity herewith
and with the by-laws, shall stand and avail as against them to
the same effect as a judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction, in which case either party desiring and entitled
to the enforcement of said award may file a copy of the same
and of the submission, attested under seal by the secretary
of the corporation, for record with the clerk of any court of
this State having jurisdiction of the subject-matter, and the
person against whom said enforcement is sought; and there-
upon it shall be the duty of said court, on motion or applica-
tion, ex parte, at any time after ten days from the filing of the
