The Emergency Board created under the President's Executive Order #10155 dated November
15, 1951, was composed of Mr. David L. Cole, labor consultant, Patterson, N.J., as
Chairman: Mr. Aaron Horwitz, Attorney, New York City, and Mr. George E. Osborne, Professor
of Law, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. Hearings were held in Washington,
D. C., from December 11 to 17, 1951 and January 8 to 29, 1952.
The report to the President on February 14, 1952, recommended that:
1. The parties enter into a Joint National Agreement, through their duly designated
representatives in accordance with the usual custom, providing for a union-shop agreement
as proposed by the organizations in their notices of February 5, 1951, to the several
carriers, parties to this dispute, in the form substantially as used in the union-shop
agreements; with the New York Central System Lines, with certain exceptions;
2. The afore-mentioned Joint national Agreement to provide for the deduction of dues,
initiation fees, and assessments and that the details be worked out in substantially
the same manner as is provided for in the agreement of August 3, 1951, between the
New York Central Railroad System Lines and these organizations, with certain modifications.
Among the exceptions recommended by the Emergency Board were:
1. That all positions not represented by the organization, all fully excepted positions,
and all positions covered in the scope rule only in a nominal or token manner, be
covered by a union shop agreement;
2. Provide that no claims against the carrier shall arise or begin to accrue in favor
of a discharged employee or any other employee or the union prior to a final determination
of the dispute, such time to include the time during which action against the carrier
is stayed by any court.
