Cause Is Largely Because of Ac-
tion Of Railroad Managers
Asking Further Wage
Reductions.
Isv The AssoeIataa Preasl

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-THE pro-
gressive railroad strike scheduled to
begin October 80 can be settled by the
railroads or prevented by the govern
ment, Warren S. stone, president of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engf-
neers, said tonight when asked his
opinion of the situation
Mr.. Stone said the cause OF the
strike II largely because of the action
Of the railroad managers in request
ing further ten per cent wage reduc-
ton and the elimination Of favorable
working agreements on upwards Of
|seventy-five roads, in addition to the
~ per cent wage reduction which went
into effect July /. The railroads can
settle the strike by the elimination of
these conditions, Mr.. stone said.
''The government can prevent the
strike by taking over the railroads, and
this is what will happen eventually, a
Mr.. Stone said. He also issued a for
NAL statement covering the mems po-
sition and their reasons for striking.
Mr.. Stone tonight made public the
four groups Of roads on which the
strike is scheduled to begin, the first
group at six o'clock Sunday afternoon.
to so out at forty-eight hour periods.
The Pennsylvania, one of the largest
systems in the country IS one of the
last to be hit by the proposed strike
No explanation was given why it was
held to the last.
1t was also explained that all the
organizations in some Of the roads in
groups four are not officially author
lied to strike. some Of the organiza-
tons not casting the necessary sixty
six and two thirds per cent vote in
favor Of the walkout. The big Five"

ganizations on such roads would fol-
low the general walkout on the other
roads, being influenced to join the
strike by seeing the brothers every |
where laying off their overalls.
Mr.. Stone said he believed that the
railroads want a strike and that
further reduction in wages is much !
less desirable to the railroad execu-
tives than the abrogation Of rules and
won by employees in va
rious way as the result OF years of
organized effort"
t"The railroad executives can settle
the dispute or the United states gov
can prevent a strike" Mr..
Stone declared, taking over the rail-
roads is the most effective way in
which the government can avert he
strike scheduled for october 80"
'If it had been a question of wage
reductions only there would have been
no strike" Mr. stone asserted. 'Ia

letters giving instances of attempts
by different railroads to break down

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia report em-
bodying the result of conference between
the public group OF the Railroad Labor
Board and the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission on the threatened railroad strike
was laid before President Harding late
today. The text of the report was not
made public. but Chairman McChord of
the commission, announced on leaving
the White House that the conference had
been concluded with today's meeting.
Anything regarding our report must
come from the President Chairman
McChord said, and his remark was ap-
proved by Chairman Barton Of the labor
board At the White House it was said
there would be no statement of the rail-
road strike tonight.
An attitude of watchful preparation
characterized the activities of other gov
ernmental agencies in connection with
the strike. The Department of Justice
completed survey of existing status and
precedents to determine the scope Of fed
eral authority under the circumstances.
but the impression given by most Of
ficlals was that the government could
not move, except by mediation or moral
suasion. until the situation had assumed
a more concrete status. Evidence was
still lacking as to a basis for the ex-
pressed expectation on the part OF some
labor leaders that petition for injunc-
tion would be the next move by the gov
ernment

impossible he said for the legislative
arm Of the government to move until the
executive had exhausted every effort to
