of cooperation between the three great
elements in the life Of the nation,
which will 90 far toward eliminating
strikes and other social unrest, is hop.
ed for as a result of the deliberations
The only discOrdant note so far has
been the opposition of the railway
unions to the basis of representation
offered them. Acting as a unit. the
IA transportation organizations are
considering compromise proposal
offered by Director General Hines
acting for the president. which would
allow the four brotherhoods one dele.
gate each, with the other unions to

corded the American Federation Of
Labor. with which they are affiliated.
G. NJ. Jewell, acting president of the
Federation of Labor employees de-
partment. has been named one of the
delegates representing the public.
There is no indication whether the
proposal will be accepted. Timothy
Shea, of the fireinen. said he had not
heard from all the unions. There were
reports. however, that the transporta.
ton workers would remain out Of the
conference unless all unions were given
one delegate each. President Lee of
the trainmen and President Sheppard
of the conductors will arrive today,
when the proposal will be further dis.
cusSed.
The length Of the conference is
matter Of uncertainty and will depend
on the progress made by the dele.
