union leaders from all parts OF the
country were arriving for meeting
Of the shopcraft policy committee of
ninety, which had been set to begin in
an outlying hotel half hour earlier.
The call for the meeting of the policy
committee, which alone is empowered
to act on any peace proposals, was
sent out by Mr.. Jewell last week fol-
lowing his returns from the East
where he was reported to have had
conferences with several railway ex-
ecutives. Shortly after his return
meeting of officials representing some
thirty railroads was held in Chicago,
but adjourned without making any
public announcements.
President Jewell of the striking shop
crafts declined to CONNIE ent in any way
on developments of prospects. He has
been summoned to appear in the Fed
eral court tomorrow in connection
with the injunction proceedings, and
with him are most of his fellow Off
cials. This may have the effect Of
postponing the meeting of the policy
committee of ninety members sum-

and whose meeting wes scheduled to
open at 10 o'clock

It is understood that. President Jewell
has agreed to accept the Willard plan,
provided he can convince his policy
committee that it is the hest thing
available
There are intimations tonight that
the policy committee may incline to
Jewells view and accept the plan. They
may be laFgely Influenced by the fact
