 ported to be in the city, but did not at- president of the Brotherhood of Railroad
 Trainmen, nor L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, was present or represented.
 Union officials explained that the gen. eral chairmen in attendance were those who did not respond to the United States Railroad Labor Boards order to attend the hearing here two weeks ago, which eliminated in the calling off of the
 threatened strike

TO RUSH THE RAIRoAD
 AND TAX REVISION BIILs

Washington, Nov. 14.-A program comprising enactment of the $500, 0,oob 900 railroad debt bill, and the tax revision measure and adjournment of the present extra session of congress before Thanks giving day, began otake definite form today. Republican leaders said pros- pectS for putting through tie program were good, in view of general demands in both senate and house for brief rest be- fore the next and regular session opens December 5.
 The railroad debt bill was before the senate again today, while the senate in. terstate commerce committee continued hearings on bills to restore rate and other powers of the states and for repeal of the so-called six per cent. rate guarantee sec. tion Of the Esch-Cummins law. That the fight for this Legislation would be carried soon to the senate foo, was assured when Senator LaFollette, re 1 publican, Wisconsin, introduced amend ments to the debt bill covering both fea lures before the committee. One amend | ment would repeal the six per cent pro l vision, another would prohibit the Inter | state Commerce Commission decree iron having any force or effect over intr; state traffic, and, third, would provid i that funds derived from the debt bil should be spent on railroad maintenance or improvements. A clause of the las amendments would compel the carriers f. spend repair funds in their own shops O plants, and would prevent contracts t l outside concerns.
 In discussion of the legislation in tn senate today, statement was presente from Director General Davis showing tha under the present accounts between tn railroads and the government there was

Irish Negotiations May Last Months
British Government Has Sent Counter Proposals to Those Made by Ulster Cabinet.

London, Nov 14-(By the A. P.)-The negotiations among British, Sim Fein and Ulster officials regarding the future of Ireland have now entered a stage in which the negoiators are talking of in- termittent conferences extending over months instead of weeks.
 The chief interest this possibility has at the moment is that it promises to make impossible an early visit of Prime Minister Lloyd George to Washington, as he has been hoping to do all along
 This development is assuming great importance in English public and official spheres, because the Washington confer ence has suddenly attained proportions in British eyes of an event of tremendous and absorbing significance
 Counter proposals for an Irish settle ment to those made by the Ulster cab met last week were forwarded to the ulsterites this evening by the British rep resentatives, informing the Ulsterites that their alternative proposal was not acceptable.
 It now seems that the premier's diplorn- aey must be directed to bringing Ulster into three-cornered agreement In the meantime the. Sim Fein will sit on ths sdelines and await developments. "The northerners are the bad boys now" re- marked one of the Sim Fein delegates.
 Listers watchword Is mo surrender 5 but some of the newspapers find comfort in the thought that this is the first stage Of all the bargain making.
 The crux of the difficulty rests in the Sim Fein's claim that Ireland must be a governmental unit, as opposed to Ul- ster's claim that if Ireland is to have dominion status. Ulster must be under independent rule.
 Austen Chamberlain, the government leader in the house of commons. in a letter which he wrote today, specifically set forth his position as follows: Like all my unionist colleagues I have re. peatedly said that would not be a par ty to the coercion of Ulster By that pledge we etand if Is common ground to the whole unionist party. The prim, minister has given the same pledge, ant neither he nor we will depart from oul word.
 Peace Is our greatest need A million and three quarters of our people are without work: trade is stagnant: conf dence is lacking. On the result of tn, present negotiations depend issues o. peace and war in these islands, perhap. the future of the world"
