Section 1. On or before the first day of May of each year, the governor of the state shall appoint three com

conciliation. One shall represent the employers of labor,
one shall represent labor employees, and the third member
shall represent neither, and shall be chairman of the board.
They shall hold office for one year and until their succes-
sors are appointed and qualified. If a vacancy occurs, as
soon as possible thereafter the governor shall appoint some
one to serve the unexpired term; provided, however, that
when the parties to any controversy or difference, as pro-
vided in section two of this act, do not desire to submit
their controversy to the state board, they may by agree.
ment each choose one person, and the two shall choose
a third, who shall be chairman and umpire, and the three
shall constitute a board of arbitration and conciliation for
the special controversy submitted to it, and shall for that
purpose have the same powers as the state board. The
members of the said board or boards, before entering upon
the duties of their office, shall be sworn to faithfully dis-
charge the duties thereof. They shall adopt such rules of
procedure as they may deem best to carry out the provisions
of this act.

Sec. 2. Whenever any controversy or difference exists between an employer, whether an individual, copartnership, or corporation, which, if not arbitrated, would involve a strike or lockout, and his employees, the board shall, upon application, as hereinafter provided, and as soon as prac ticable thereafter, visit, if necessary, the locality of the dispute and make careful inquiry into the cause thereof, hear all persons interested therein who may come before them, advise the respective parties what, if anything, ought to be done or submitted to by either, or both, to adjust said dispute and make a written decision thereof. This decision shall at once be made public, and shall be recorded upon proper books of record to be kept by the board.

Sec. 3. Said application shall be signed by said employer, or by a majority of his employees in the department of the business in which the controversy or difference exists, or their duly authorized agent, or by both parties, and shall contain a concise statement of the grievances complained of, and a promise to continue on in business or at work, without any lockout or strike, until the decision of said board, which must, if possible, be made within three weeks of the date of filing the application.
