Executive Order 12636 --
Establishment of Emergency Board No. 213 To
Investigate a Railroad Labor Dispute
Establishing
an Emergency Board to Investigate a Dispute Between
the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company and Certain of its
Employees Represented by the United Transportation
A
dispute exists between the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company and
certain of its employees represented by the United Transportation Union.
The
dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act, as amended (``the Act'').
This
dispute, in the judgment of the National Mediation Board, threatens
substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive a
section of the country of essential transportation service.
Now,
Therefore, by the authority vested in me by Section 10 of the Act, as amended
(45 U.S.C. 160), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of
Board. There is established, effective
Sec. 2. Report. The
board shall report its finding to the President with respect to the dispute
within 30 days from the date of its creation.
Sec. 3. Maintaining
Conditions. As provided by Section 10 of the Act, as amended, from the
date of the creation of the board and for 30 days after the board has made its
report to the President, no change, except by agreement of the parties, shall
be made by the Carrier or the employees in the conditions out of which the
dispute arose.
Sec. 4. Expiration. The
board shall terminate upon the submission of the report provided for in Section
2 of this Order.
