IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 15, 1948
EXECUTIVE ORDER
CREATING AN EMERGENCY BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
A DISPUTE BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AIRLINES, INC.
AND CERTAIN OF ITS EMPLOYEES.
WHEREAS a dispute exists between the National Airlines, Inc.,
a carrier, and certain of its employees represented by the Air Line
Pilots Association, International, a labor organization; and
WHEREAS this dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under
the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended; and
THEREAS this dispute, in the judgment of the National Mediation
Board, threatens substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a
degree such as to deprive a large section of the country of essential
NARA
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 in-
vestigate the said dispute. No member of the said board shall be pecuni-
arily or otherwise interested in any organization of employees or any
carrier.
The board shall report its findings to the President with respect
to the said dispute 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
National Airlines, Inc., or its employees in the conditions out of which
the said dispute arose.
