will accept is based largely on the
statements made Informally by T..
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman Of the
Association of Railway Executives,
when he was last ip Washington,
namely that il the men would re-
turn to work and ask for their SEN
iority rights the subject would then
become a dispute within the mean-
ing OF the transportation act and as
such subject to the decision Of the
United States labor board. Mr..
Harding's new proposal is simply
a short cut to the same end by ask
ing both sides to submit the matter
at once to the board.

goods market today, but the larger
buyers are still holding on in the
anticipation of something definite
in the tariff legislation and the set
Element Of strikes. Strikes are
really the overshadowing influence,
outweighing cotton values even.
The market felt the impetus of the
presence OF 5000 or more buyers
now in the city, but price levels
remained firm. The present hand
to mouth purchasing is the chief
characteristic also of hte cotton
yarn markets.
The silk market maintained an
even keel. Advices from Yokohama
showed little il any changes in the

here, however, are waiting for a
break as they do not believe pres

Chicago, Aug. S.-tBy-the Asso-

Harding's new suggestion for end
ing the rail strike, the United States
railroad labor board today stood
ready to promptly and readily
consider and determine" the ques-
ton of seniority rights, sole re-
naming barrier to peace in the
railways.
In a majority resolution adopted
late last night the board asserted
as much willingness to act on the
seniority, controversy as to re-
open hearings on the wage and
rules issues originally involved in
the strike.

the three labor members present
at the meeting. voted against the
resolution after an amendment he
had offered was voted down.
Wharton Opposes.
The only difference in the atti-

is that as to tie former, the board
would be called upon to rehear
