MODIFY PROPOSITION
Terms For Settlement Of s-Hour
Controversy to be Submitted to
Railroad Managers Today

New York, March 15.-Chlefs oil
the Brotherhoods of Railway En-
ployes will present to the railroad
managers ats their meeting today a
modified proposition for a settlement
of the 8-hour controversy which Will
have the backing of all the railway
employees.
This was announced yesterday by
w. G.. Lee, head of the trainmen's
organization, after conference here
with local chairmen.
'Tnasmuch," said Mr.. Lee, "as we
we're not party to the agreement
between the Government and the
railroads that nothing would be done
to change the situation pending the
Supreme Court decision on the Adj
amson Act, we are going ahead as II
there were no Supreme Court.
Asked if plans for strike had been
made in the event that their propose
ton was rejected by the railroad
managers, MIR. Lee said: -
81 have not said that, and am not
saying it, but you can go ahead en-
the idea that some one has already
done some nightly good guessing"
Mr.. Lee declined to disclose the ma
ture of the modified proposition. He
said it had been Endorsed by the mer
at their meeting here today as wei!

tives at Pittsburgh and other cities
