Executive Order 9934
Whereas there exists a labor dispute between the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation and certain of its employees represented by the Atomic Trades and Labor Council, AFL, involving wages and terms and conditions of employment at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and
Whereas in my opinion such dispute threatens to result in a strike or lockout affecting a substantial part of an industry engaged in trade or commerce among the several States or with foreign nations, or in the production of goods for commerce, which strike or lock-out, if permitted to occur, will imperil the national safety:
Now, Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 206 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947 (Public Law 101 80th Congress), I hereby create a Board of Inquiry, consisting of such members as I shall appoint, to inquire into the issues involved in such dispute.
- The Board shall have powers and duties as set forth in Title II of the said Act. The Board shall report to the President in accordance with the provisions of section 206 of the said Act on or before March 19, 1948.
- Upon submission of its report, the Board shall continue in existence to perform such other functions as may be required under the said Act, until the Board is terminated by the President.
Harry S. Truman
The White House,
March 5, 1948.
