Sec. 1202.14  Labor members of Adjustment Board.

    Section 3, First, (f) of title I of the Railway Labor Act relating 
to the settlement of disputes among labor organizations as to the 
qualification of any such organization to participate in the selection 
of labor members of the Adjustment Board, places certain duties upon the 
National Mediation Board. This section of the act is quoted below:

    (f) In the event a dispute arises as to the right of any national 
labor organization to participate as per paragraph (c) of this section 
in the selection and designation of the labor members of the Adjustment 
Board, the Secretary of Labor shall investigate the claim of such labor 
organization to participate, and if such claim in the judgment of the 
Secretary of Labor has merit, the secretary shall notify the Mediation 
Board accordingly, and within 10 days after receipt of such advice the 
Mediation Board shall request those national labor organizations duly 
qualified as per paragraph (c) of this section to participate in the 
selection and designation of the labor members of the Adjustment Board 
to select a representative. Such representatives, together with a 
representative likewise designated by the claimant, and a third or 
neutral party designated by the Mediation Board, constituting a board of 
three, shall within 30 days after the appointment of the neutral member 
investigate the claims of the labor organization desiring participation 
and decide whether or not it was organized in accordance with section 2, 
hereof, and is otherwise properly qualified to participate in the 
selection of the labor members of the Adjustment Board, and the findings 
of such boards of three shall be final and binding.
