Everywhere 1t was admitted today that the Irish negotiations had made little progress. and, although hope had not been rehnquished, there was a tendency to regard the outlook as being less favorable than 1t was a day or two ago. Political writers remarked that If the negotiations broke down. the Premiers trip to America would be obviously impos- sible, while, if a break in the confer- ence was avoided, 1t would be difficult to see. how settlement could be reached for a considerable time.
 The accum uHation of other press ing business was also urged in some quarters as contributing to the inn probability that the Prime Minister would be abl etc carry out his desire to go to the Washington conference.
 Various reports concerning the Irish negotiations were current here today, but they carried little weight, owing to the secrecy observed by both sides. The Daily Graphic printed a rumor that the negotiations had been suspended. and that an inn portant communication was expected from Dublin. Elsewhere It was stated attempts to find desired for mula by which the conference could be continued had failed, and that the Irish delegates were holding out for concessions that would counter-bal- ance any lessening of their demand for independence.
 It was said the Dai1 Eireann rep- resentatives were insiStently urging the claims of the Catholic populations of the counties of Tyrone and Fer lnanagh for inclusion in southern Ire land, it being added that the Irish delegates were maintaining a stiff att. titude in this particular. Another report declared the question of Irish unity was the main stumbling block.

Issuance of the order will be with held pending the outcome oe the con- ference to be held today by the ex~ ecutlve committees of the Brother hoods. The Broth erhood chiefs will be given an opportunity to withdraw the strike order before the Labor Board issues it's mandate that the strike Is illegal and must be called off.
 Ben. W. Hooer, pubhc member Of the Labor Board, appeared at the Brotherhood conference just after it assembled.
 Hooper announced that he had come to the meeting ito make sug- about peace He said no other mem Der of the Labor Board would attend the hearing.
 Members of the Board unoff1cially predicted today that peace is near. They believe that their announcement corsidered until controversies over working rules are disposed of, to- gether with the statement of T. De W1tte Cuyler, chairman of the stand ing committee of the Association of American Railway Executives, that railroads will. not make any changes in wage schedules without going through the regular procedure before the Board. paves the way for the Brotherhoods to withdraw their strike order.
 It is understood that the board has notified Washington of it's findings and Of its preparations to issue an order intended to halt the strike. According to advices here the ma chinery of the Department of Jus tfce has been set in motion to invoke the aid of the courts to prevent the strike unless 1t is called off by the Brotherhoods.
 It was learned that some sort of a communication will be sent to the meeting of the Brotherhood execu- lives today by the Labor Board. There was 8 strong belief that the boards statement would point out to the Brotherhoods that assura nces wage cuts and working rules afford the unions ample justification for calling off the strike.
 One of the most hopeful signs of peace was the distinc-ly cheerful at tftude that prevailed at the closing session of the conference held by the Labor Board yesterday. It was evi- dent thae something happened be- tween the close of the afternoon con- ing conference that had changed the view of the members of the Labor Board, Efforts 70 learn what had transpired were frustrated in official circles, but the air of optimism pre- vailing was most pronounced.
 The brotherhoods' chiefs were openly perplexed as to their course as they entered the execu i've conference, which was behind closed doors.
 Their attitude was that they would incur the wrath of their members if they called off the srike, and the dtsapnrova1 of the public if they did not,
