A presidential board of inquiry investigates the facts behind a labor dispute. It can hold hearings anywhere in the country, in public or private, and has the same power as certain federal agencies to make witnesses attend and produce documents.

(a) Composition: A board of inquiry has a chairman and other members the President determines. It has the power to sit and act anywhere in the United States, and to conduct hearings — in public or in private, as it decides is necessary or proper — to find out the facts behind the causes and circumstances of the dispute. (b) Compensation: Members of a board of inquiry are paid $50 for each day they actually spend on the board's work, plus necessary travel and living expenses. (c) Powers of discovery: For any hearing or investigation conducted by a board appointed under this title, sections 49 and 50 of title 15 — covering the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers, and documents — apply to the board's powers and duties.
