makes no specific prohibition against
strikes, styike-votes or lockouts
while . dispute Is under investiga-
ton; gives to the arbitration boards
to be set up BY railroad executives
and the brotherhoods power to sub
poena witnesses and compel testi-
mony, but denies that power to the
! Emergency Board which the Presi-
dent Of the United States Il to set
up In behalf of all the people.
+, The National Association Of
Manufacturers has emphasized these
defects in the measure and is urg-
Ing Congress to SO amend the bill
