HARDING PLEASED
WITH DEVELOPMENTS
Hopes for Reconstruction of
Whole Railway Situation
Government Was Ready
to Ask InjunctiOns in Case
Strike Came - Public
Sentiment Defeats Plans
of BrOtherhOOds

CHICAGO. Oct. 2S. tAssociated Press
Smiles of relief were written on the
faces of members of the United States
railroad labor board when they met today
to clean up the many details of the can
celled strike. Railroad brotherhood
chiefs said today that their resolution
adopted last night calling off the strike
emphasized two points as evidence of vic
tory for the men.
First. that action of the railroad labor
board on further wage cuts that the rail
roads may ask .@iI receive consideration
only after pending questions before the
board are cleared, thereby possibly post
poning the question of new wage re-
vision for nearly year.
The second point was that action on
rules which the organizations wished to
maintain likewise would take its place
on the regular calendar of the board. The
question is not likely to become an i'm
mediate issue.
Complete plans to avert the most ser
ious handicaps of the threatened railroad
strike which was called off last night had
been made by the government, while the
strike still appeared a certainty, District
Attorney C4yne made known today. APP
DliCati0n for injunctions restraining the
brotherhood chiefs from carrying out the
strike with orders necessary to conduct
these proceedings were in the hands Of
the district attorneys throughout the
country ready to be presented in federal
