§177 Board of inquiry

Summary

The President must create a board of inquiry with a chair and whatever other members the President chooses. The board can meet anywhere in the United States and hold public or private hearings to find the facts about the causes and circumstances of a dispute. Board members get $50 for each day they actually work, plus necessary travel and living expenses. For hearings, the board can use the powers in sections 49 and 50 of title 15 to require witnesses to appear and to get books, papers, or documents.
