RAILROADS AGAIN
 CABINET SUBJECT
President Lays Before Sec retaries Assurances of Co.,
 operation Given By Banks
Br Assoclnted Prcns

Washington, June 24.=The rail- road problem, particularly in refer- ence to the cooperation of financiers in putting the roads on a sound fi- nancial basis. again occupied pro- minent place today in the councils of the administration. The question is understood to have been discussed at the cabinet meeting President Harding laying before the secretaries the assurances of cooperation given him last mig ght by the group of vest ern bankers who conferred with him on the geneal financial conditions.
 After the cabinet meeting Secre- taries Mellon and Hoover, Chairman Clark of the interstate commerce commission. and Director General Davis of the railroad administration, talked with the President on the same subject.
 Administration officials said that no definite developments had come out of the series of conferences, but indicated that some progress might be expected soon toward a solution of the problem.
 As one result of new policy of consultation adopted here, heads Of the various federal reserve banks are expected to keep in closer touch with the federal reserve board and the administration. President Harding's consultations with private bankers are understood to have fostered a belief that much good might be ac- complished if the reserve bank governors were called into frequet consultation here, to report on the exact conditions in their respective districts
 Administration officials said today that no such conference ever had been held but that it was hoped tc arrange one in the near future.
