Negotiating New Agree
ments
CONDITIONS S. ARE SET

Chicago, April 14-(By the Associ-
ated Press)-Nationa agreements de-
filming working conditions for en-
ployes on all American railroads for
merly under federal railroad admin
istration were ordered abrogated ef-
fective July l, 1921, by the United
States railroad labor board
The board called upon the officers
and system organizations Of employees
Of each railroad to select representa-
tives ito confer and to decide" as
much of the rules controversy as pos
sible. Such conferences shall begin
at the earliest possible date" the de-
cision said.
While the decision did not specific
ally say SO, members of the board said
that all disputes as to rules and york
ing conditions automatically were re-
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and it's
employees This method of procedure
had been sought by the railroads,
whereas the labor side had favored
a national conference between repre-
sentatives of all roads and all unions.
Train Men Excepted
The decision affected all railroad
employees except those in train serv-
ice who are under separate agree
ments between individual railroads and
the four big brotherhoods.
In connection with the conference
negotiations, the board laid down a
set of 16 principles which are to serve
as foundation for rules which may
be agreed to in the conference. The
present general rules hearing before
the labor board, which has been in
progress since January 10, will con-
tinue until both sides have completed
their testimony, following which the
board will promulgate such rules as
it determines just and reasonable, as
after July l, 1921 as is reasonably
possible and will make them effective
as of July /, 1921
Sixteen Principles -
The sixteen principles outlined by
the board were drawn up by Henry
T. Hunt Of the public group to or

ganize for lawful purposes the right
of employees to negotiate through rep

LONDON, July 26.-(By the Asso- ciated Press.)-The uncanny silence

 fact that the Sim Fein leaders are
 engaged in daily discussion of these proposals. which, as Austen Chamber

 No reply has been received by the

 According to reports current in
 Dublin. what is called the "rock of Ulster' is the great obstacle which
 must be taken into consideration. It Is clear from the statements of Lord Birkenhead, lord high chancel- Tor, in the house of lords, and cham berlain in the commons today that the government has not lost hope of a settlement The former announc- ed that the government was hopeful it could make a statement at an early date Chamberlain clearly indicated that the government expected late autumn session to pass Legislation re- garding peace in Ireland. These are not the only favorable signs. Lloyd George has decided that he will not go abroad for vacation: he desires to be available for any development. Moreover, General Jan c. Shuts, has booked passage on liner sailing for South Africa Friday, and it is believ- ed he would not leave England unless convinced Irish negotiations were in line for peace.

CARY PREDICTS
 BEST BUSINESS . IN U. ]. HISTORY
Declares Present Conditions Show Steady Improvement
 in Industrial World
SAYS OUTLOOK BRIGHT
U. s. Steel Chief Says Trade Revival Depends Entirely
 on Individual Effort

NEW YORK CITY, July 26.- The United States Steel Corporation re. ported today that it's earnings for the quarter ending June 90 were S21. .S92.. 016. the smallest of any quarter since March, 1915, just prior to the war boom. when they fell to $12.457. .SO9.
 Regular dividends of 1 3-4 per cent on the preferred shares and 1 IA on thef common were declared, but to meet the requirements of the com mon dividend, on which only thirty. five cents was earned, it was neces- sary to draw from the corporation's huge undivided surplus.
 An analysis of the corporation s monthly business shows earnings of $7,336655 in April, $7731 ,469 in May and s6.S23,712 in June.
 Net income for the second quarter amounted to $13,225, 1909, against $2O,. 65S,339 in the preceding period. This item would have shown more drastic reductioni but charges and allowances for depreciation were much smaller than in the first quarter of the year
 Chairman Ebert H. Gary issued a statement in which he stated that the business results for the quarter were not surprising to any one familiar with general conditions. He added that many manufacturing concerns have been operating at loss. This he declared, is no less censurable than existing upon "unconceivable profits" and cannot be long contin- ued. Commenting upon the future, he said:
 AS stated at the meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute last May, industry is headed in the right direction. This means a great deal, for at some date in the future there awaits the biggest business this country, has ever witnessed. The fundamental facts for this conclusion are assured. The undisputed figures amount to a demonstration.
 Just at present there are many reasons for believing our conditions are improving, even though we may not as yet have experienced. to a larges extent, the good results. Re
