GOVERNMENT PREPARES
TO MEET RAIL CRISIS
Report Of Labor Group and Com
merce Commission Laid Before
President. malls Will BE Moved. !"
Says Hays

mefCe COMMISSION Latu bsiNit
President. malls viii BE Moved. /"
Says Hays
Washington, October ia report
embodying the result OF conferences
between the public group Of the Rail
road Labor Board and the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the threat
ened railroad strike was laid before
President Harding today. The text OF
the report was not made public, but
Chairman McChord, OF the commission
announced on leaving the White House
that the conference had been conelud-
ed with today's meeting.
Anything regarding our report
must come from the President, Chair
man McChord said, and his remark
was approved by Chairman Barton OF
the Labor Board.
At the White House il was said
there would be no statement on the
strike tonight.
An attitude Of watchful prepara-
ton characterized the activities OF
other governmental agencies in con-
nection with the strike. The depart
ment Of justice completed survey OF
existing statutes and precedents to de-
termine the scope Of federal authority
under circumstances, but the impress
sion given by most officials was that
the government could not move, ex-
cept by mediation or moral suasion,
until the situation had assumed more
concrete status. Evidence was still
lacking as TO basis for the expressed
expectation on the part Of some labor
leaders that a petition for injunction
would be the next move by the gov
ernment.
Postmaster General Hays, whose de-
partment would feel first and most
seriously the effects Of the strike, also
was known to have obtained reports
from his assistants as to ways and
means Of meeting any attempted in
terference with the mails. He confer
red by telephone with heads OF import
ant postal districts as to the emer-
gency facilities on hand or required.
"The mails will be moved" he said
later but he refused to make any COM
ment on the situation as it now stands.
"A time may come for action" he
said. 81 sincerely trust it will not. III
Il does there will be action"
AT the conference between members
OF the labor board and the commerce
commission, voluminous statistics on
railroad payrolls and employment con-
ditions were studied, but those parti-
cipating continued to maintain silence
as to the line taken by the discussions.
The conferees saw Attoney-General
Daugherty at noon and then Mr..
Daugherty lunched with the President.
The attorney -genedal, however, de-
clined TO discuss his interview with
Mr.. Harding, or one which he held
later with Postmaster-General Hays.
Government officials, it was learned
today, are paying close attention to
the reaction Of public opinion on the
threatened paralysis Of transportation.
In some quarters the opinion was ex-
pressed that "the weight Of public
opinion would be the determining fac
tor in averting the strike" or in bring
ing it to a speedy close /. other efforts
failed to avert it.
