roads in the west shall strike or shall
negotiate further with the railroad
officials in an effort to gain recogni-
ton of the System Federation plan
will be determined definitely at a con-
ference which began here early to-
day.
Participating in the meeting are
forty members of the general advisory
committees of the various unions and
the Ave international presidents OF
these unions. Though the union lead
ers decline to discuss the situation for
publication It is clear that they are
determined to gain recognition for the
System Federation, even If Il is nee
essary to forego every other demand.
The international presidents have
heretofore handled the situation alone
and the presence of the advisory COM
mitteemen indicates that they will re-
port on the temper of the shopmen Of
the Hartman road as to declaring a
general strike
Although the tenor of these reports
has not been made public, it is under
stood the men overwhelmingly favor
walkout.
