Washington, d. c., Oct. PA new
faced the government to-day with the
news that the conference in Chicago
between the railroad labor board and
the five brotherhood leaders had been
terminated without having resulted in
any definite plan for averting the ma
tion-wide tie-up scheduled to start on
Oct 80.
Pending receipt OF official reports~as
to what actually developed IN the con-
ference, no one in authority would
comment on the result of the confer
ence. The optimistic atmosphere which
has pervaded discussion of the situa-
tion was not entirely dissipated, how
ever, by the overnight set back and
the general opinion expressed was that
the situation was far from hopeless.
Speculation early to-day was di-
rected chiefly upon the question of
whether the railroad labor board would
be called upon to make further effort
toward a compromise, or whether
President Harding would initiate some
other plan, as yet unsuggested.
Chicago, Oct. 81 tBy the Associated
Press Lack of any provision by the
unions for suspending the railroad
strike called for Oct. 30 made il i'm
possible to accept the plan offered by
the United States railroad labor board
yesterday, it was said to-day in union
circles.
The board, it was said, presented
three proposals TO the presidents OF
the Big -Four brotherhoods and the
switchmen's union. They were:
THE railroads to make reduc-
'tion in freight rates corresponding to
the wage reduction Of July /. less such ]
reductions as have already been made
since that date.
THE roads to refrain from asking
the United States railroad board for a
further wage reduction until the last
en-: has been translated into rate re-
ductions.
3-The unions to suspend OF with
draw their strike order.
The five union presidents were will
ing TO accept the first two, but de- 1
elsred they had made no arrangements
for suspendiHg their strike, and any
settlement they had made before Oct
90. or the walkout would automatical-
ly become effective
In union circles to-day was a seem
ing resignation TO the belief that the
strike now Is inevitable unless Presi-
dent Harding assumes the initiative
with some drastic step.
