Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate

Disputes Between Certain Railroads Represented by the

National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National

Railway Labor Conference and Their Employees

Represented by Certain Labor Organizations

Disputes exist between certain railroads represented by

the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the

National Railway Labor Conference and their employees

represented by certain labor organizations. The

railroads and labor organizations involved in these

disputes are designated on the attached list, which is

made part of this order.

The disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under

the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, 45

U.S.C. 151-188 (RLA).

I have been notified by the National Mediation Board

that in its judgment these disputes threaten

substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a

degree that would deprive a section of the country of

essential transportation service.
