Title 3-The President

EXECUTIVE ORDER 9883-REVOKING EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 9172 OF MAY 22, 1942, ESTABLISHING A PANEL FOR THE CREATION OF EMERGENCY BOARDS FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF RAILWAY LABOR DISPUTES

Whereas it appears that the procedures available under the Railway Labor Act are now adequate for the handling and adjustment of such disputes:

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the Statutes of the United States, it is ordered that the said Executive Order No. 9172 be, and it is hereby, revoked.

Section 4 of such act of October 2, 1942, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph:

In any dispute between employees and carriers subject to the Railway Labor Act, as amended, as to changes affecting wages or salary payments, the procedures of such act shall be followed for the purpose of bringing about a settlement of such dispute.

Instructions for Completing Form NMB-2

ITEM 1.—THE SPECIFIC QUESTION IN DISPUTE

The specific question in dispute should be clearly stated, and special care exercised to see that it is in accord with the notice or request of the party serving same, as well as in harmony with the basis upon which direct negotiations were conducted. If the question is stated in general terms, the details of the proposed rates or rules found to be in dispute after conclusion of direct negotiations should be attached in an appropriate exhibit referred to in the question. This will save the time of all concerned in developing the essential facts through correspondence by the office or preliminary investigation by a mediator, upon which the Board may determine its jurisdiction. The importance of having the specific question in dispute clearly stated is especially apparent when mediation is unsuccessful and the partis agree to submit such question to arbitration.

ITEM 2.-COMPLIANCE WITH RAILWAY LABOR ACT

Attention is directed to the following provisions of the Railway Labor Act bearing directly on the procedure to be followed in handling disputes and invoking the services of the National Mediation Board:

NOTICE OF INTENDED CHANGE

"SEC. 6. Carriers and representative of the employees shall give at least thirty days' written notice of an intended change in agreements affecting rates of pay, rules, or working conditions, and the time and place for the beginning of conference between the representatives of the parties interested in such intended changes shall be agreed upon within ten days after the receipt of said notice, and said time shall be within the thirty days provided in the notice. *

CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE PARTIES

"SEC. 2. Second. All disputes between a carrier or carriers and its or their employees shall be considered, and, if possible, decided, with all expediation, in conference between representatives designated and authorized so to confer, respectively, by the carrier or carriers and by the employees thereof interested in the dispute."

SERVICES OF MEDIATION BOARD

"SEC. 5. First. The parties, or either party, to a dispute between an employee or group of employees and a carrier may invoke the services of the Mediation Board in any of the following cases:

"(a) A dispute concerning changes in rates of pay, rules, or working conditions not adjusted by the parties in conference. * * *
