““In order to prevent as far as possible the rendering of conflicting decisions in classification cases by the several boards, all opinions, before promulgation, shall be submitted to the several boards on duty at the port of New York, and if a majority of the members of either of said boards are of the opinion that any proposed decision conflicts with another decision concurrent therewith, or theretofore made by the board or by the United States courts, the President shall submit the same to all the members of the General Board present at the port of New York; and, whenever a majority of said General Board so present shall be of the opinion that a conflict exists, the case shall be reassigned by the President for decision to a board of three, the majority •of whose members agree with the majority of said General Board.””
