Sec. 1202.11  Emergency boards.

    Under the terms of section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, if a dispute 
between a carrier and its employees is not adjusted through mediation or 
the other procedures prescribed by the act, and should, in the judgment 
of the National Mediation Board, threaten to interrupt interstate 
commerce to a degree such as to deprive any section of the country of 
essential transportation service, the Board shall notify the President, 
who may thereupon, in his discretion, create an emergency board to 
investigate and report to him respecting such dispute. An emergency 
board may be composed of such number of persons as the President 
designates, and persons so designated shall not be pecuniarily or 
otherwise interested in any organization of employees or any carrier. 
The compensation of emergency board members is fixed by the President. 
An emergency board is created separately in each instance, and is 
required to investigate the facts as to the dispute and report thereon 
to the President within 30 days from the date of its creation.
