 Mayor o. F. Curtis was elected tenn porary chairman and City Engineer J. D. Williams, temporary secretary. There followed a general discussion of the duties of the commission and it's powers and the comfort station prob lem was discussed. The site favored by the commission which so recon mended to the council through the committee, would place the station underground at the south end of the park with an entrance possibly at the circle where the flag pole now stands or at the other end of the same tri- angle, depending upon the plans which are developed.

At One Time Today It Appeared That All Me- gotiations Would Be Absolutely Terminated
Situation, Upon Which De pends 'Peace or Var, Now Hangs Fire Until First of Next Week..

Londons Oct. 21. = (By Associated Pres) - The negotiations between British officials and Irish leaders today barely escaped being definitely broken off and for a time it seemed possible that the Sim Fein delegates would return 10 Dublin tonight, it was learn ed after today's adjournment was taken. The Irish delegates still were apprehensive.
 Outlook Ia Gloomy.
 The Dail delegates were very much depressed this afternoon for there was little doubt that the delegation was anxious to reach some sort of an agreement One of the Irish delegates said gloomf1y:
 .'rhe ship is barely afloat."
 There are no plans for any meetings between members of the two delega- tions over the weekend. Consequent ly the situation must hang fire, it was understood until Mondays session which will be faced with the decision of whether it is to be peace or war"
 No Progress Made.
 No progress at all was made at to- days meeting, 1t was said combina- ton of events bringing about what practically amounted to an impasse The government delegates, according to Sim Fein sources took violent ex- ception to Eamon de Valera's message to the Pope and this with other sub- jects. including that of Ulster, which were down for discussion left the ne. gotiations hanging by mere string.

Chicago. Oct. 21, tBy Assoef4ted Press) lack of any provision by the unions for suspending the rail- road strike called for October 30, made it impossible to accept the plan offered by the U. s. Railroad Labor Board yesterday it was said today in union circles.
 .sThe strike authorizations provide only for ending the strike presuma- bly, after a settlement which union leaders have maintained must in-' volve the question of the July wage reduction on which the strike was technically called"
 Three Fropoeah.
 The board. 1t vas said. presented three proposals t6 Inc presidents Of the big foarA brofh fherhoods and tho switchmen,s union. They were:
 The ratlroads to make reduc- the wage reduction of July l. less made since that date.
 z9The roads to refrain from ask ing the U. s. Railroad Labor Board last cut has been translated into rate reductions.
 3-The unions to suspend or with- draw their strike order.
 These proposals made no mention of overtime and other rates. promul- gated under federal control which the employees seek to retain in toto and which the board has been revising. The brotherhood chiefs declare their strongest fight in any strike settle 1,1 do Ice T.
 Cannot Suspend Strike.
 Tho five union presidents were will ing to accept the first two, but de- clared they had made no arrangements for suspending their strike and any settlement must be made before Oc- tober 50 or the waliout would auto matically become effective.
 The board, 1t was reported today, assured the union leaders that. the railroads could not get a decision for months even if they filed their pro- posed request for a ten per cent wage reduction immediately.
 No Early Dec1sion.
 The board is understood to hAvo pointed out that cases now on the docket would prevent taking up the railroads application before next March and that the bulk of testimony naturally expected in a case of such importance probably would slave ok the decision for another ak months making it highly improbable that the roads could get an answer before next August or September
 The railroad brotherhood leaders. made no effort to conceal their dis appointment that the board had noth- ing else to offer. In union circles to- day was a seeming resignation to the belief that the strike now is inevitable unless President Harding assumes the initiative with some drastic step.

 Many of these men, the official said, had applied for passports to the American passport bureau in Paris and had been refused, but were able to get to >erica by other means.
