of the Act, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Board. There is established, effective
Sec. 2. Report. The
Board shall report its findings to the President with respect to the dispute
within 30 days after the date of its creation.

the creation of the board and for 120 days thereafter, no change, except by

conditions out of which the dispute arose.
