PEACE EFFORTS
TO AVOID STRIKE
MOVES BEING MADE TO CON-
dILIATE PARTIES CONCERN
ED-BIG FIVE LABOR HEADS
AND RAILWAY OPERATIVES
IN CONFERENCE.

IN CJNr ENENNL.
Chicago, Oct. 20.-Preparatlon:
for the various moves through which
it is hoped the threatened rail strike
will be averted were completed today
and tomorrow the peace efforts vii
be in full swing.
Tonight heads Of the unions ano
of the carriers were silently alert
with-fguratively speaAng-one
eve on the conferences tomorrow be-
tween the "Big Five" rail union lead
ers and the railroad labor board, and
the other on meetings of officials Of
II unions which have not yet Joined
the conductors, enginemen, train
men, fire and switchmen in strike
order, for both sides were agreed
that from tomorrow's conference
would come the final answer as to
whether a general walkout of raj
employees would materialize.
In the conference with the labor
board rested the possibility of the
Big Five" being persuaded to can
eel their order for a w.alkout, while
in the meetings of the II unions
which actually started today is to be
decided whether these organization:
holding the balance of men though
numbering three-fourths Of the near
ly 100000 rail workers in their
membership, would join the big
Five" if they walked out Oct,bar 81
as planned.
While the Big Five" conference
was looked on as the most important
of the peace moves, railroad men to-
night professed to see signs of a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties
in the attitude of B. NJ. Jewell, head
of the $4,000 members of the six
railway shop craft organizations, and
J. C. Smock, vice president of the
maintenance of way union, which
numbers 100000 men.
The shop crafts executive council
met today but took no action other
than to call in the conference COM
mittee of 100. The committee while
having power to call a strike, also is
expected to defer action by calling
in the 1000 general chairmen for a
meeting Friday when the final atti-
tude of these groups probably will
be made known.
The maintenance Of way executive
council met only informally today,
the formal meeting coming tomor-
row when all of the members are ex-
pected to be present.
II can not speak for my entire or
ganization now but personally I will
say that we do not want a strike,
that we would never strike on the
wage question unless forced to and
that we will not 60 into any walkout

CHAPLIN IN THE BACKFIELD

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9. - Har-
wards football eleven is now about as
ready for its invasion of the Palmer
Stadium and Saturdays game with the
Princeton Tigers as It ever will be.
Yesterdays workout was on slippery
field and in the rain, the coaches taking
the greatest care that there should be
no accidents, for the eleven is just be-
ginning to get together physically. and
there is not player who can be spared
The workout was for the same team
that lined up against the scrubs on
Monday, when the seconds did their best
to show how the Jersey plays might be
expected to go. Macomber and Crocker
continued at ends. Kane was at one
tackle, while Tierney and Ladd worked
on the other side. and Hubbard and
Brown remained Mt guards. Grew was
with the substitutes ngain, and this is
taken to mean that Hubbard will be the
first choice for right guard.
Fits was full Of speed and
his leg is mending well. At the
same time Chaplin was worked with the
other backs. Gratwick and Owen, and
it will be Chapin's job to do the punt
ing in case it Is necessary for Fits to
retire.
The injury to johnson, the substitute
quarter. is keeping him on crutches 1t
seems hardly possible now that he can
play football by Saturday and Conlon,
the baseball captain, who has not played
in any game since the beginning of
the year, is being groomed for first
