David Lawrence Cole was a graduate of Harvard University (BS., 1921) and Fairleigh Dickinson University (LL.B., 1924, LL.D.,

Berman & Belksy, David Cole will chiefly be remembered for a distinguished career as a government arbitrator and mediator.
In this field he served on numerous state and federal boards and in various governmental agencies.
Cole was chairman of the New Jersey State Board of Mediation; a public member of Region 2, United States War Labor Board;
and chairman of the Presidential Boards of Inquiry in the bituminous coal industry (1948) and in the longshore industry

railroad and airline industries (1948-1958); the chairman of the conciliation service for the New York City transit service

(1961-1964); and member of the New York Governor's Public Employee Relations Committee (1966-1968), which established
the New York State Public Employee Relations Board. Cole was also appointed as chairman of the President's Commission on
Industrial Peace in 1973.
Beyond his public service, Mr. Cole was active as a counsel for employer groups in the textile industry (1926-1942) and as
