From 1945 to late 1961, while serving as Executive Secretary of the RLEA in
Washington, A.E. Lyon was assigned the task of representing American railway labor
on the Executive Committee - or governing body - of the International Transport
Workers' Federation, commonly called ITF. During this initial and imporant phase of
the Marshall Plan program, he was one of three labor members of the Public Advisory
Board of the Economic Cooperation Administration. For many years he served on the
Department of Labor's Trade Union Advisory Committee on International Labor Affairs.
A.E. Lyons was the only labor member of the U.S. National Commission for the
Pan-American Railway Congress. He was delegate to sessions of the Inland Transport
Committee of the International Labor Organization. Almost the entire 17 year period
while in Washington, he was a recognised spokesman and rep of the railway labor
movement.
