Railway Executives Urge Labor Board Abolish and Substitutes
The Association of Railway Executives endorsed legislation to abolish the United States labor board and replace it with boards of adjustment and conciliation. Regional boards would include both sides’ reps to settle grievances, while a conciliation board would push voluntary arbitration. A third arbitrator would be chosen if needed. The plan eliminates semi-judicial hearings and public-vote influence, aiming to speed agreements with labor. Cleveland reports a companion bill to replace the labor board with a binding mediation board, as urged by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
