Summary
This order creates a three-member emergency board to investigate a labor dispute between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and its conductors, who are represented by the United Transportation Union. The board must be appointed quickly, report its findings to the President within 30 days, and will end after it submits its report.
