the basis of the high cost of living and
how railroad pay compares with that
of other big industries.
President Wilson's flat stand against
strikes, enunciated first in his open
letter to Hines and reiterated yester-
day in his address to congress, was
expected to clarity the situation with
regard to the demands OF the railroao
brotherhoods.
Chicago, Aug 9.-While signs of
Improvement in the strike of federated
railroad shopmen were indicated by
reports from central west points,
others indicated that at some d.
visional points, the men were disin-
clined to heed the advice of President
Wilson and their grand lodge officials
to return to work, pending a wage set
tlement. The reports from midwest
points said that upward of 10000
shopmen had needed the warning of
the president that their wage grew
ances would not be adjusted until they
returned TO work, supplemented by the
urging of the grand lodge officials.
From east. south, southwest and
far west came reports that the men
had decided not to return to work
until their wage demands were met.
Limited embargoes on freight were
continued on nearly all roads but the
most pronounced freight regulations
incidental to the strike were on the
New England lines.
Says Situation Bright.
r. H. Ashton, northwest regional
directors of railroads, said:
THE situation appears extremely
encoura ging. We are hopeful that
the presidents action will make the
men realize how ill-adyised their
course has been. There is no imme-
date occasion for the public to be
salarmed. The trains that have been
cancelled are those which may be
easily dispensed with and the purpose
is merely to keep the engines in re-
pair for hauling foodstuffs. milk and
ice in the event of a really critical
situation"
Hale Holden, central western re-
gional director, took a similar view.

No definite progress was made at

Crawford in the discussion of the local
labor dispute Just before adjourn
ment the cereal workers submitted a
contract form for approval of the OPP

ton in answer to requests of Commits
sioner Crawford for an agreement in

In event the operators refuse to sign
the contract, they may sever further
discussion OF the strike issues or an

none OF the men in today's conference
would publicly predict the action of
the operators. there is a decided opin-
ion that the contract offered today
will be rejected. 1t covers every i'm

emphasizes the right of the employees
to organize. 1t also gives to the strik-
ers their demands in the wage con-
troversy and provides for their return

strike was declared
No General Concessions.
The conference consumed the entire
morning. 1t followed a similar con-
ference Friday morning when Com
missioner Crawford proposed a basis
OF settlement which was approved by
the employers. The Crawford plan
suspended unionizstion efforts for one
year, pending adjustment of nation
wide labor troubles. All other issues

ton to be selected by the strikers and
the operators. The strikers rejected
this proposal and asked for another
conference.
Should the operators submit a coun-
TER roposition-which now seems
probabfe-another conference will be
held Monday or Tuesday. Today's dis
cussion failed to indicate a tendency
by either side to make general con-
cessions. The operators were willing
to get together with the strikers. It

for the present. On the other hand

held that issue TO be dominant in any
