efforts to take the imitation out of pric- eS.-
 There were indications today of an approaching showdown" between the railroad administration and the Brotnerhood of Railway Trainnlen and Englnemen' who asked increased wages last summer. The report of tbe wage board on the demands has been sent to the director general, who will meet President W. G. Lee and his committee next Wednesday. The com nittee, composed of the sixteen gen eral chairrnen of districts and six of Hcers or the grand lodge will hold s preliminary meeting here Tuesday.
 There Is no ultimatum about our meeting, President Lee said today
 ana IL ooes not necessarily involve < strike. though ~-e committee has been given full power to take any steps ne- cessary or desirable"
 The shopmen. like the trainmen nave given their committee full power to call a strike whenever it anDeayf advisable. It has been understood thar the officers would wait at least unti! December 1 to see results of the gov ernments fight on high prices before taking action
 MT. Hines quashed one unauthorized strike today. after exhausting every means of peaceful negotiation, by giv- Ing the idle express workers in New York until Friday night to return tc WoIh or ma Inelr places filled. They went back to work. This is the second strike in which the director genera took the most drastic action ever taken by the government in a labor dispute, the first being the illeEz strike of railroad operating employee in southern California
 In addition to the labor troubles be- setting it. the railroad administration also is being called on by the railroad officials to provide an increase in ratcf to take care of the operating deficit caused by the higher prices of labor and materials. Despite the announced policy that no increase would be made by the director general in the short period remaining of federal con trol. committee from the Associa ton of Railway Executives. headed by President T. Dewitt Cuyler will confer. with him tomorrow on the situation which VI confront the roads when they are turned back 10 private own ership.
 MT. Sheas testimony before the wage board, revealed that the union men consider President Wilson's re- striction on any general wage ad- vances as only temporary. inasmuch as existing rates of pay were declared to be entirely inadequate.
 There is an increase due to fire men and hoStlers and they have got to have it, MT. Shea told the board. "If I cannot get it out of this conference. it may be Necessary to use other means, but l am going to get it."
