CHICAGO, Oct. 1T.-Assurance from
one big man in the Government" that
there would be no further wage reduc-
lions for year would avert q nation

Iegraphers, declared here today before his

''If some big man in the Government
will guarantee the men there win be no
further wage slashing the strike can be
avoided" said Pierson.
When asked whether he referred to
President Harding, Pierson answered:
We'll, If he could give that guarc ltee,
the strike would be called off,"
According to PIerson the purpose of
the plan for a progressive strike with
the railroads divided into four groups
Is to facilitate its handling. aud at the
least possible expense and to save the
public as much Inconvenience as possible.
THE strike is aimed at Wall Street.
and not the Government or the public, "
said the labor official
Every effort will be made to save the
public inconvenience. The unions hope
for settlement before the strikes become
nation wide. BY calling successive strikes,
f0rty-eight hours apart, no one section
will be entirely cut off from railroad
communication and there will be no
stoppage of food supplies-unless. Of
course. the strike is permitted TO run its
course until all four groups Of railroads
are called out"
According to Pierson, the men continue
working on one line while employees on
the other are called out, will contribute
to the support Of the strikers.
