Vote OF union
MEN is AWAITED
very ANXIOUSLY
Railroad Administration Officials Hope
That Strike win Be Averted
By LabOring Men.

Washington, August 2S.-Govern-
ment officials and labor leaders here
today were awaiting indications of the
effect on the rank and file of American
labor of President Wilson's plea for a
truce in industrial disputes.
With Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, due
in Washington to attend the meeting
of the federation's executive council
tomorrow, 1t was predicted the situa-
tion will come to head before the
end of the week.
Moves eagerly watched here were:
l. The vote of 100000 railroad
shopmen on President Wilson's plan
that they accept four cents an hour
increase and abandon original de-
mands so as not to interfere with their
governments attempt to bring down
living costs.
2. What course railway trainmen,
conductors and other rail unions will
take since it has been indicated their
demands will meet the same answer
as that given shopmen.
3. Whether union steel workers
whose committee is in New York
seeking a conference with steel mag
mates, will push their efforts now OIL
await normal conditions, as the presi.
dent has asked.
Officials of the Railroad Admins.
tration were hopeful today the
shipments strike would be averted.
