the board. We ale satisfied some
governmental agency Will find So
tuition, as every possible angle OF the
matter is undoubtedly beng investi-
gated at Washington.
None OF the board members would
indicate an optimistic view OF the
days proceedings. Some members
were inclined to the view that even
issuance of strike order was tanta-
mount to violation OF board de-
cision and that the brotherhoods
could properly be cited to appear be-
fore the board for a formal deuerm.r-
ation as to whether it's orders had
been defied.
The board feels il is muc:l better
informed on the situation and we
hope some good may yet result from
the boards inquiry said one mem
Der.
Board members said that the labor
chiefs remained infleXible in main
tanning that the fight was one FOR
the life of their organizations. Diff
culties in the crisis were declared by
the union men, it was said, to be the
fault of the carriers, the brotherhood
men holding that many railroads had
violated the boards orders. They
made it clear, however, members said,
that they did not consider these vio-
lations the fault of the board, but due
to the fact that the transportation act
had no teeth"
Think Right Violated
Continual alleged violations of the
ployes, they were quoted as saying.
there would be no end to encroach-
ments on what the railroad workers
considered their rights. Prior state
ments to the brotherhoods leaders
have repeatedly asserted that the
question of working rules, which, they
said, they had been years VI working
up was the cruX of the situation.
Practically nothing was said in the
conference about the Il per cent wage
reduction, which was the technical
basis on which the strike was called,
it was learned.
Members of the board said they did
not consider that the board had ex-
hausted its powers and that an, exc
cutive session would be held tomor-
row when further procedure would be
determined.
The first meeting between the two
groups. held this afternoon. was not
final, however, and another confer

Claim "Bluff Called"

Union heads expressed the opinion
that II there were any concrete re-
suits OF the conference they lay in the
fact that the minds of the labor board
memDG,S were uIsabused OF the idea
chat the unions were net sincere in
calling Il strike
When We went in there, said
one CHEF, the board seemed TO be OF
the opinion that we had been blulfins
and were just waiting for some one
TO dissuade us from carrying out the
strike order.
believing this, the board had vir-
tually nothing to offer in the way OF
a settlement plan. Its members talk
ed Il lot, but actually had little to say
OF any importance, merely trying to
get us TO change our plans.
They seemed to think we could
postpone the strike until we made il
plain that it could not even be con-
stdtred and that there must be a set
Element satisfactory to us or the walk

we hope some angel viii appear
with plan to avert tho /5rike, but
there were no such angels at today $
meetings.
The CHIEF results of the conference
Is that the railroad labor board know S
that we are not bluffing and we know
that they had no real plan to offer.

ter the day meeting, while a labor
board members remarked that every
one is smiling and no one seems down

The afternoon meeting was started
with the labor board, which called
the conference, presenting its plans
for settlement the difficulties
These were understood to be based
on the public group announcement
that the strike could be averted il
the roads reduced rates, temporarily
postponed attempts at further wage
cuts and the unions accepted the re-

DEFENDS NEW BEER BILL
Wayne 3. Wheeler Charges Senate
Attempt to Destroy Prohibition

Declaring that "the eleventh hour
rally in the Senate to save medical beer
as substitute for booze shows the
purpose of the opposition to destroy

Wheeler. general counsel of the Anti
Saloon League. in a statement today
said. The proposed law limiting pre-
scription of alcohol by physicians was
a protection to that large per cent Of the
medical profession who are true to their
ideals"
"Medical beer" the statement said.
"is not recognized in the medical pro
fession or in the prohibition laws Of
the States and the proposed law
penalties only the guilty.
"Thc anxiety of the irrcconcilablc
vets like Senator Wadsworth about
bringing prohibition into disreputc with
the pending bill fools no one.
IF some of these violent opponents
of prohibition thought this bill would
accomplish that purpose they would
not oppose it. The real friends of the
Eighteenth Amendment are not dis
turbed over the enactment of a measure
that means honest law enforcement.
