SESSION S
TOSETTLE
STRIKE ON

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The first of
a series of conferences in Chicago
at which representatives of all fac
tions in the railroad strike stu
alton may decide the outcome of
the strike call issued by the big
four brotherhoods for October 80
began here today to continue over
the week end.
Three group meetings are sche-
duled:
/. Executives of the shopmen,
maintenance of way workers,
clerks, telegraphers and others
meet to decide their attitude to-
ward the announced strike of the
train service employees, with in
dications of a final decision at a
Joint conference Sunday.
2. Brotherhood leaders are on
their way here to hear the gov
ernment's attitude through the
labor board tomorrow.
8. Railroad executives of the
central division meet Friday in
Chicago to discuss all phases OF the
strike situation, which executives
of other divisions meet simultane-
ously in their own regions.
Freight rate reductions approx
imately equivalent to the IL per
cent wage reduction in wages Or
dered last July by the railroad
labor board were indicated as the
probable basis suggestion the
labor board will choose with the
backing of the administration, to
avert the strike.
Il understand" said Commits
sioner Ben Hooper, member OF
the public" group of the labor
board, that the interstate com
merce commission has number
of important rate reduction cases
on hand"
While government efforts Tor
settlement of tire strike were pro-
ceeding, army officials, 1t. was un-
derstood, were making prepara-
tions for operating trains by fed
eral troops.
Dispatches from San Antonio
said officers of the Eighth corps
area in the southwest had been
instructed to compile and forward
to Washington lists of all officers
and enlisted men with experience
in twenty-six lines of railroad
work.
Southwestern roads largely
comprise the group under instruc-
tions to walk out the first day OF
the strike and il Is believed that
the preponderance of votes favor
ing a strike by the brotherhoods
came from that section. Sentiment
among employees Of eastern roads
it is understood, was more evenly
divided on the strike question.

In reversing the decree of the
lower court, Justice Mcbride, who
wrote the supreme court opinion,
holds that the contract entered
into by the Salem Fruit Union
with the Phez company, although
in a sense a contract of an agent
for known pricipals, was never
theless its covenant by which it
pledged its own good faith and
credit that the fruit mentioned
therein should be delivered.
