Executive Order No. 9370

Action in Connection With the Enforcement of Directives of the National War Labor Board

   By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, it is hereby ordered:

   In order to effectuate compliance with directive orders of the National War Labor Board in cases in which the board reports to the Director of Economic Stabilization that its orders have not been compiled with, the director is authorized and directed, in furtherance of the effective prose- cution of the war, to issue such directives as he may deem necessary;

   (a) To other departments or agencies of the Government directing the taking of appropriate action relating to withholding or withdrawing from a noncomplying employer any priorities, benefits or privileges extended, or contracts entered into by executive action of the Government, until the Na- tional War Labor Board has reported that compliance has been effectuated;

   (b) To any Government agency operating a plant, mine or facility, possession of which has been taken by the President under Section 3, of the War Labor Disputes Act, directing such agency to apply to the National War Labor Board, under Section 5 of said act, for an order withholding or withdrawing from a noncomplying union any benefits, privileges or rights accruing to it under the terms of conditions of employment in effect (whether by agreement between the parties or by order of the National War Labor Board, or both) when possession was taken, until such time as the noncomplying labor union has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the National War Labor Board its willingness and capacity to comply; but, when the check-off is denied, dues received from the check-off shall be held in escrow for the benefit of the union, to be delivered to it upon com- pliance by it.

   (c) To the War Manpower Commission, in the case of noncomplying individuals directing the entry of appropriate orders relating to the modi- fication or cancellation of draft deferments or employment privileges, or both.
