   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1583
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - labor law. The question of whether the procedural 
   prerequisites for arbitration have been complied with or, as the Union 
   alleges, waived because of past practices, is a matter for the arbitrator to 
   decide and not the court; revered with directions to enter a judgment 
   compelling arbitration.
