been made, but the prediction was vouch-
safed that Chairman Barton would take
some action soon after his arrival here,
toward an adjustment of the controversy.
Members Of the Cnited States Railway
Labor Board who are in Chicago, went
into conference shortly after 10 o'clock
today. 1t was announced that the con-

noon. No promise OF a statement at that
hour was made.
Chairman Barton and Ben W. Hooper,
member Of the public group. had not ar
rived back from Washington when the
conference convened.
The conference was regarded as sigDih-

the Labor Board planned a move to avert
the threatened hail strike.

both sides were seeking a basis of COM
promise that would make possible a re-
