SWYGERT, Circuit Judge.

The issue in this case is whether the federal courts may review decisions by special boards of adjustment established to arbitrate disputes under section 3 Second, first paragraph, of the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 153 Second, first paragraph. We hold that these arbitration decisions are reviewable, and reverse the judgment of the district court.
