Strike Leaders Meet.

by United Press
Chicago. Oct. 26.-Rall executives
and employees met with the rail
labor board in an open meeting to-
day In an attempt to prevent the
nation wide rail strike which Is
called for October 80.
The object OF the meeting. accord
ing to the summons sent out to
the rail chiefs and the union lead
ers by the board. is as folloys:
First. the brotherhood leaders
must explain why their call to the
workers to strike is not in violation
Of the ruling of July 1 of the board
which cut the wages ~ 1.2 per cent.
Second both the executives of the
railroads and tho labor leaders must
explain what grievances they have
and must make an effort to get
together to settle their difficulties.
From 1900 to liOC are expected to
take part IN the meeting.
Although the rail heads and the
union leaders appear in response to
an official order from the labor
board citing them for violation of
the boards recent wage cut decision,
1t is in reality al effort by the labor
board to make use of its mediatory
powers in an attempt to avert the
strike. Members of the board have
made it plain thoy have strong hopes
of reaching an agreement that will
settle the strike called for October
30.
The board will sit as a semi-ju-
dicial body to determine whether its
order of July | reducing wages has
been or is about to be violated by
either Side. The method of pro-
cedure will be much the saem as
in a contempt action, it was ex-
planned.
