Sec. 1202.9  Appointment of arbitrators.

    Section 5, Third, (a) of the Railway Labor Act provides in the event 
mediation of a dispute is unsuccessful, the Board endeavors to induce 
the parties to submit their controversy to arbitration. If the parties 
so agree, and the arbitrators named by the parties are unable to agree 
upon the neutral arbitrator or arbitrators, as provided in section 7 of 
the Railway Labor Act, it becomes the duty of the Board to name such 
neutral arbitrators and fix the compensation for such service. In 
performing this duty, the Board is required to appoint only those whom 
it deems wholly disinterested in the controversy, and to be impartial 
and without bias as between the parties thereto.
