statement rejecting the presidents
proposal. The fact this statement had
been withheld from publication up to
the time the conferees OF union lead
1ers reassembled this morning was
taken as an indication there still was
possibility they might reconsider.
There also. was seen a posi- bility
that no decision would be forthcom-
ing. for a day or so. \: In this connec-
ton some significance Is attached Ito
the statement of LIE. Sheppard,
president OF the Order OF Railway
Cnnd1fNfato Ia OF rfo az <4H,
brotherhood chairmen would continue
to act as a committee Of mediation
until congress gets back into ses-
sion."
The chief cqpdition upon which the
majority, of the executives voted ac-
ceptance of the presidents proposal
was that "such acceptance involves
respect to seniority adopted, by the
ca carriers," this statement said. There
was insistence that the labor board
pass upon relative seniority Of loyal
employees who remained at work. The
maj acceptance of the rail ex-
ecutives further provided that strik-
ing employees ,7be assigned to their
ist and that where their former po-
sitions have been filled other employ
ment of the same class be found for
them. A minority resolution provides
Tor restoring former positions to
strikers only where vacancies exist.
Expect No Compromise.
When the executives left, the i'm
preston prevailed among them that
the strike would be fought out to a
fiEish and that the government would
not attempt further effort at com
promise. Union leaders said media
ton and compromise efforts would be
continued. 4; 3, !. s0. s, = ~
