CHICAGO. Oct ~ (Associated
Press) Ben w. Hooper of the Rail-
road Labor Board went before the
Big Five" conference and gave what
he described as vague possibility
for settlement.
President Lee OF the tralnmen ac,
companied Mr.. Hooper back to the
Labor Board offices and then returned
TO the brotherhood conference.

Hooper was asked.
We'll you could hardly expect them
TO do that with me In there" he re-
piled. u was not sent by the board
but went on my own volition. I still
believe that the only basis of settle

Mr.. Hooper issued this statement to
day:
The Railroad Labor Board did not
send me before the brotherhoods, and
only two or three members knew j.

resentatives of the organizations as a
man, a citizen and a member Of the
board, with the hope that l might
make myself useful in averting the
strike. The brotherhoods sent Nj.
Whitley, Vice President of the train
men. to accompany me TO their meet
ing place.
THE immediate occasion of nv
appearance before the leaders OF the
employees was this:
Day before yesterday l submitted
to the Railroad Labor Hoard a mem
orandum bearing Indirectly upon the
strike situation. which was adopted.
By an awkward oversight this mem
orandum did not reach the chief ex-

officers OF the brotherhoods this

them along general lines, urging

Naturally II was not within The
proprieties for me to commit II.

tion on any question that may here
after come before the board. further
than the course OF procedure set out
in the memorandum referred TO.

ing up the consideration OF any ap~

In my judgment that memoran-
dun constitutes the only practical
basis for an honorable adjustment Of
the present strike trouble, and Il
works absolutely no INJURY TO any

and power OF the beard TO fix the
order in which II will consider and
