Chicago, July 21.--Defnite accepting
granted the railroad workers of the
country Tuesday by the United States
railroad labor board is expected to be
taken today by the grand council OF the
sixteen big railroad brotherhoods which
went into session this morning for fur
ther consideration of the award.
AS the brotherhood chiefs began to-
days meeting, 1t appeared likely that
their decision would be based on one
Of the five following propositions:
Acceptance of the award as satsfac-
tory. without reservations.
Acceptance of the award under pro-
tests, with a memorandum registering
dissatisfaction with the increase granted
as compared to the demands of the rail
workers.
Acceptance OF the award with an an
nouncement that new wage demands
would be brought before the board
some time after Sept. /, when federal
control will have been fully lifted from
the railroads.
Rejection of the award tentatively
and its submission to a referendum of
the rail workers generally the strike is
sue to be included in their vote.
Out and out fiat rejection of the
award, with action taken toward calling
national railroad strike Immediately.
It appeared early today that one of the
1lrSt tnree proposals would constitute
the final decision of the union heads.
While the most radical element of the
grand council was reported to be in
favor of fat rejection, it is thought
that the big four" and other conserva-
tive brotherhoods leaders would be able
to maintain control over the councils
|deliberation and that their Judgment
would prevail.
That there is dissatisfaction with the
award among a number of the brother
hood powers Is certain, but this, 1t is
pointed out, is offset by a strong senti-
'ment for conservative action, The
railroad telegraphers and maintenance
lof way workers were said to be among
the groups opposed to the award, while
the locomotive engineers and shopmen
were reported as leaders of the element
tavoring the board decision.
Generally. the sentiment seemed to
oe against taking any action toward
he immediate calling of a strike

grand council is to be, whether the
