FOUR COURSES
NOW OPENFOR
Rail WORKERS

CHICAGO. H., July 21-Danger
of an immediate strike by the rail
road workers was apparently dissi-
pated today when two thousand rep
resentatives of the sixteen railroad
crafts resumed their conference over
the wage increase of the railroad la
Dor board today.
Less dissatisfaction was apparent
than a desire for serious deliberation
and peaceful solution was manifested
by the unionmen.
Four courses of action are under
consideration
Acceptance of the award under pro-
test.
Acceptance with proviso that prep
aration for new demands will start
Immediately.
Tentative rejection and submit
strike to a referendum.
Flat rejection and the exercise Of
plenary power by the grand council
toward strike.
All reports from the conference of
union officials indicate that the con-
servatives. who are disposed TO ac-
cept the boards decision, will pre-
vail. The big four brotherhood lead
ers are siding with the conservative
factions, although their men did not
fare as literally as the others.
