Election Monday on New
Wage Reductions.
Requests of Union Officials
and Railroad President Are
Ignored, Belief.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Leaders OF
the big four brotherhoods and affli-
ated railroad unions Monday night
declared that they had little doubt
that the railway employees had voted
for a general strike rather than ac-
cept a wage reduction, but annOunc-
ed that the conservative counsel Of
the leaders might prevail against a
walkout.
General chairmen Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen began
counting the $4,000 strike ballots
Of their men, but admitted before
the first envelope was opened that,
Judging from the known temper Of
the men, the result will be over
whelmingly in favor of a strike.
Strike Vote Expected.
Giving an estimated majority,
Vice-President James Murdoch said:
Our past experience has been that
9S per cent Of the men will always
vote to strike"
Next Monday officials of the
neers. Order of Railway Conductors,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen. and Switch
mems Union OF North America, will
meet here to count the strike votes
of their 259, 600 members.
Railroad union leaders here expect
all the brotherhoods and the switch
mems union to cast substantial ma
jOrities for a strike.
Shop Men Favor Action.
The affiliated shop crafts have al
ready voted, by a majority Of 325 1000
To $4,000 to walk out, and are only
waiting to see what action the other
unions will take and for the United
States Railroad Labor board TO dis
pose OF the pending working rules

Reports of the general chairmen
of the trainmen when they assem-
bled Monday were plainly disap-
pointing tc the union leaders.
The trainmen had voted a separ-
ate ballot because their leaders did
not approve Of the joint ballot pre-
pared by the other unions. on Sept.

HARDING DECLARES
U. S. SOUND, SLUMP
IS RESULT OF WAR
National Conference on En-
ployment Opened at Wash
ington Monday.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26LThe ma
tional conference Of employment.
called by President Harding. organ
lied here Monday and adjourned I'M
til Oct. .. which time the 10 sub
committees will present suggestions
for emergency relief.
Opening the initial session, PreSi-
dent Harding declared the present
industrial depression was "A war in
heritance throughout the world"
Adding that the result hoped for
from the conference might extend
beyond the borders of the United
States, asserting that there ought to
be work in this country for every
one, the president described the
United States as fundamentally
sound. financially strong. industrially
unimpaired. commercially consistent
and politically unafraid."
Both the president and Secretary
Hoover, chairman of the conference
emphasized the need for an en-
ployment program which would not
contemplate a drain OF the national
treasury.
Outlining the questions before the
conference, Mr.. Hoover declared.
'NO problem can be adequately
approached for solution without a
knowledge of the facts" There was
needed, he said, first. "a destribu-
tion of unemployment" Then a dis
tribution of what emergency mea-
.sures should be taken TO provide en-
ployment." and "a consideration and
"a statement Of what measures must
be taken to restore our commerce
and employment to normal. or TO
put il in another way what OBJ
mote business recovery. The only
real and lasting remedy for unem-
ployment is employment"
Hoover said the quickest way to
get results would be TO organize at
once into committees and take UP
the various phases ot the problem
rather than in a general discussion.
