2nd Draft "INATIONAL ARCHIVES AND REGRADS us -8- While the Fact-finding Board is deliberating and for ten days thoreafter it should be made unlawful to call a strike or lock-out OR make any change in rates of pay, hours, or working conditions except by agreement. The parties would not be legally bound to accept the findings or follow the recommendations of the Fact-finding Board, but the general public would know all the facts. The result, I em sure, would be that in most cases, both sides would accept the recommendations as they have in most of the railway labor disputes. The legislation should pay particular attention to the needs of seasonal industries, so that the so-called "cooling-off periods" can be arranged in those industries in a manner which will not subject labor to en undue disadvantage. Thore are other subjects which were on the agenda of the Labor-Management Conference, on which no agreement was reached. The most immediate, the most press_ing, however, is this one of machinery. I hope that the Congress will act upon this matter as quickly as possible - and certainly before its Christmas recess. SETTLEMENT OFTHE In order to avoid any delay in the most important existing strikes, I em appointing such B. Fact-finding Board for the present stoppage in the dispute betweeen General Motors Company
