WHEREAS disputes exist between the Akron & Barberton Belt Railroad and other carriers represented by the Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers' Conference Committees, designated in List A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and certain of their employees represented by eleven cooperating (nonoperating) railway labor organizations, designated in List B attached hereto and made a part hereof, on the subject of improvements in vacation and holiday rules, and the carriers' counter proposals; and WHEREAS disputes exist between the Akron & Barberton Belt Railroad and other carriers represented by the Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers' Conference Committees, designated in List C attached hereto and made a part hereof, and certain of their employees represented by eleven cooperating (non-operating) railway labor organizations, designated in List D attached hereto and made a part hereof, on the subject of improvements in health and welfare plan, group life insurance, inclusion of cost-of-living adjustments in basic wage rates, and a general wage rate increase of twenty-five cents per hour, and the carriers' counter proposals; and WHEREAS these disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended; and WHEREAS these disputes, in the judgment of the National Mediation Board, threaten substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive the country of essential transportation service: NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 160), I hereby create a board of three members, to be appointed by me, to investigate these disputes. No member of the board shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization of railroad employees or any carrier. The board shall report its findings to the President with respect to the disputes within thirty days from the date of this order. As provided by section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, from this date and for thirty days after the board has made its report to the President, no change, except by agreement, shall be made by the Akron & Barberton Belt Railroad or any other carrier represented by the Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers' Conference Committees, or by their employees, in the conditions out of which these disputes arose.
