UNION LEADERS SENT H0ME TO
 DISCUSS ISSUE Grievance Committees, Will Talk Over Walk-Out and
 Report Next Week OUTLOOK NOT GLOOMY 90 Percent of Treinmen Said To Have Favored Strike
 Over Wage Slashes
OUTLOOK NOT GLOOMY

CHICAGO, Sept 29. - President Lee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, said tonight that if the strike vote cast by 90 per cent of the 1S6,OOO members in the recent refer endum on the wage reduction should be supported by the grievance com mittee. tentative strike order would be issued, effective only when and if the other unions should strike.
 With this parting declaration, Pres ident w. G. Lee dispatched 57 gener- al chairmen of the unions to their homes tonight with written instruc- tions to call their grievance commit tees. get their approval or Gisapproy- al of the strike vote, and report here next week.
 Lee expects to act on the commit tee instructions before the Brother hood of Engineers, Conductors, En- sinemen and Trainmen, and the Switchmen's Union of North America have completed the count of their 25J,- U0O strike ballots which will start Monday. The strike call, however, ln- dicated, will provide for walkout of the trainmen when and if the oth- CT unions strike.
 Strike Not Expected
 That the strike, even if ordered, will actually take place, continued to be the prevailing impression in union circles. While Lee has promised to call the walkout if the committees so T l.; in n September 12, that he would be remlss in his duty if he failed to point out that wages and working conditions es- tablished since 1918 were the result of q world war; that government re- ports 5000, ,O0O men out of work, that nearly all classes of labor have been forced to accept wage reductions, that the pay increases granted them last year Inv the labor board was based on the increased cost of living, and that government reports show reduction of more than 16 per cent in such liv- ing costs.
 The strike vote was taken on the question of accepting or rejecting the l2 per cent wage cut made July 1 by the labor board.
 Tabulation of the vote had not been completed tonight, but the ballots counted showed from 90 10 95 per cent of the men voted to quit work rather than accept the reduction.
 Shifts Responsibility
 Lees determination to announce his unions stand before other brother hoods complete their ballot count shifts responsibility for the nex' move in the threatened general strike of the four unions which took a join' Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. Order of Railway Conductors Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemer and Enginemen, and the Switchmen' Union of North America.
 The affiliated shop crafts, by vot' of 325,OOO to 4S.0O0 have already gone on record in favor of a strike. bu have postponed action pending the de cision of the other unions and actiol of the labor board on rules and work ing conditions.

 Lloyd Georges makes as the basis of the note the offer of conference with a view to ascertainl1g now the association of Ireland wNh the com munity Of nations known as the Brit ish Empire may be. best reconclieo with Irish national aspirations.
 It is understood various members of the British cabinet are of the opin- ion that there is nothing in the con- munication to prevent a conference This certainly appears to De the be- lief held by the London public and press, and the comments thus Tar re- ceived from Dublin speak of "the eX- treme qualification" there.
