It also includes reports of previous boards authorized under the Railway Labor Act, 1966, as well as a 1952 agreement between the Railway Employes’ Department of the American Federation of Labor and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Accordion file 2 contains briefs, exhibits, and affidavits, as well as reports, proceedings, and correspondence, 1965-1968, relating to the special panel that settled the dispute in late 1967. Reports and correspondence in the file also document the IAMAW’s involvement with legislation under consideration in the Canadian Parliament’s Committee on Labour and Employment in 1968 that related to national industry including railroads. The collection also contains a “comprehensive statement” from the Railway Employees’ Department of the AFL-CIO, submitted to the special panel on 27 August 1967.
