    (a) It shall be the duty of all carriers, their officers, agents and 
employees to exert every reasonable effort to make and maintain 
agreements concerning rates of pay, rules, and working conditions, and 
to settle all disputes, whether arising out of the application of such 
agreements or otherwise, in order to avoid any interruption to commerce 
or to the operation of any carrier growing out of any disputes between 
the carrier and the employees thereof.
    (b) All disputes between a carrier or carriers, and its or their 
employees shall be considered, and, if possible, decided, with all 
expedition, in conference between representatives designated and 
authorized so to confer, respectively, by the carrier or carriers and by 
the employees thereof interested in the dispute.
