These are 15 cases which have come up through the grievance procedure of the railroads and have been deadlocked in the appropriate division of the National Railroad Adjustment Board, a committee of three representatives from management and three from the union. This is the fifth step in the grievance procedure, and if it deadlocks a neutral referee is appointed by the National Mediation Board to sit with the Adjustment Board and resolve the disputes. Cases in this dispute were deadlocked on December 8, 1956. Harold M. Gilden was appointed Referee and hearings were begun September 17, 1957 in New York. All of the cases involve the questions of "Time claims" that is grievances involving penalty payments for violations of the agreement.

Arbitration case no. 275 involved the Chicago and North Western Railway and its employees represented by the Order of Railroad Telegraphers and concerned the issue of job elimination.
Proceedings developed out of a notice served by the union on the carrier requesting a rule that no position in existence (1957) would be abolished or discontinued except by agreement between the carrier and the union. The customary procedures of direct negotiations, mediation and emergency board recommendations were exhausted without agreement and a work stoppage occured. Arbitration no. 275 was called following an agreement between the parties made at the request of the president of the United States that the strike in progress be terminated and the remaining issues be submitted to arbitration. The parties agreed to a program of employee protection as recommended by Emergency Board 147.

In April of 1957, a labor dispute arose between the Lighter Captains' Union, Local 996, International Longshoremen's Association, and the eight railroads that operated New York City's harbor barges and tugboats, represented by the Labor Committee of the General Managers' Association of New York. Both parties agreed to take their dispute to the National Mediation Board.
The Union demanded an immediate increase of 42 1/2 cents per hour in basic rates, an additional 20 cents per hour for overtime work, and a minimum wage of $25 per day for workers on refrigerator boats or those equipped with power hoists. The railroads did not offer any increase. After two weeks of hearings, the Board recommended a three year collective agreement with a wage increase of 24 cents per hour.

The Board of Arbitration was established following an agreement between the parties September 28, 1962, made pursuant to a request of the President of the United States that the strike in progress on the lines of the carrier be terminated and the remaining issues be submitted to arbitration.
Members of the Board included B. W. Heineman, representing the carrier; G. E. Leighty, representing the organization; upon nomination by President Kennedy, Sylvester Garrett was designated by the National Mediation Board as the third and neutral member of the Board.
Hearings commenced October 2, 1962, in Washington, D.C., and were concluded October 4. The award was rendered October 8, 1962.
This proceeding developed out of the handling of a notice served by the organization on the carrier for a rule that: "no position in existence on December 3, 1957, will be abolished or discontinued except by agreement between the carrier and the organization."
The customary procedures of direct negotiation, mediation and emergency board recommendations were exhausted without agreement. A work stoppage occurred. In settlement of the dispute the parties agreed upon a program of employee protection as recommended by Emergency Board No. 147 except for four areas of disagreement which were submitted to this Arbitration Board for resolution at the request of the President. In submitting the questions at issue for settlement, the parties stated:
"It is agreed that each question shall be resolved and decided by the panel on the basis of and in terms of its determination of the proper application to the question of the Report and Recommendations of Emergency Board No. 147, dated June 14, 1962."
The four specific questions and the decisions of the Board follow. The representative of the organization indicated a dissent in the decision in response to questions two, three, and four.
1. What shall be established as a substantial period of advance notice to be given by the Carrier to the Union of a decision to permanently discontinue any position?
2. What procedures should be followed when the Carrier and the Union do not agree on whether a position should be abolished?
3. The U. S. Emergency Board No. 147 recommended a forty-hour workweek guarantee for extra board employees. Should the Union or the Carrier decide on the size of the extra board?
4. Should the Union be allowed to pursue claims against the Carrier which resulted from jobs abolished before the current agreement was made?
