Abstract
It must not be thought, however, that the Board's function is restricted to mediation of disputes. On the contrary, by delegation of executive power from the President in Executive Order No. 9017 of January 12, 1942, the Board has been entrusted with the duty to finally determine all labor disputes might interrupt work which contributes to the effective prosecution of the war. It is an emergency administrative agency acting for the President in time of war, to make final and binding decisions in controversies between management and workers which cannot be settled by mediation or voluntary arbitration. How did this delegation of power come about? And how is its origin related to the aims and policies of the Board?
