Outcome

The court denied the employer's motion to dismiss and held that it has jurisdiction to enforce the National Railroad Adjustment Board's award requiring reinstatement and back pay. The court found the dispute is not a 'minor dispute' requiring further Board interpretation, but rather an enforcement matter within the court's jurisdiction.
