ROADS TURN DOWN DEMAND
OF UNIONS; INSIST STRIKERS
RETURN ONLY AS NEW MEN
Executives to Pass Finally on
Committee Report This
Afternoon.
SENIORITY REJECTED.
Stone Anticipates Refusal ami
Has Labor's Reply
Prepared.

The conference Of railway cXecu-
tives at the Yale Club TO receive the
report of the executive committee
which conferred with the Brotherhood
mediators last week decided to-day af-
ter two and a half hours of discus
sion to insist that If the striking shop
men return to work they must come
back as new men.
This decision will bring the strike
question to a head within "a hours.
II means that the strikers demand
for restoration of their seniority rights
has been refused.
During an adjournment for lunch
con, the executive committee met in
private dining room in the club
house and framed a report to be sub
mitted to the meeting at the afternoon
session, which began at . o'clock.
The only business before the meet
ing was action on this report.
It is understood the report is in the
nature of a reply to demands made by
the mediators in the seniority matter
and that Immediately upon its adop-
ton 1t would be forwarded to Warren
3. Stone, President of the L|ocomo-
tive Engineers, Chairman Of the COM
mittee of mediators at the Hotel
Woodstock.
An indication that Mr.. Stone ex-
pected a reply this afternoon, and
probably sensed what the reply would
he was given in an announcement he
made on his arrival in New York
from Cleveland this morning that he
had prepared q statement which he
would make public as soon as he
heard from the railway executives.
This statement will probably forecast
the attitude of the strikers as to con
tinuance of the strike or resumption
of negotiations for a settlement.
There are 14S members of the AssO-
citation of Railway Executives. Only
about fifty were on hand when the
meeting was 30 have been called tc
order at 10 o'clock. Some fifty more
had arrived when the meeting was
called to order. The fact that many
of the executives from the far West
we're delayed because of late trains
may have some significance in the
session.
Among the rail executives present
were:
Thomas De Witt Cuyler, Chairman
of the Association of Railway EXecu
tives: William II. Finley President

SENATE TAKES UP
SOLDIERS BONUS
Rush of Amendments a
Last Minute Expected.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-The
Soldier Bonus Bill, after reposing in
a Senate pigeonhole for nearly a
year, was out on the Senate floor to-

was expected. Senator McNary has a
reclamation amendment which, he
said, has support of the Western
farm group. Senators Bursum and
Ladd have bonus plans which they
would like TO substitute for the Nc
Cumber scheme. Senator Smoot was
preparing to offer a specific sales tax

BLISTER RUST
MEETING TUESDAY

A good attendance is anticipated
by Forest Commissioner Samuel L.
Dana at the meeting which Gov.
Baxter has called for Tuesday morn
ing in the city building at Portland
to consider the emergency created by
the white pine blister rust.
That cumberland owners and
operators are awake to the serious
ness of the situation" said Com
missioner Dana today, " is indicated
by the action of the Maine Lumber
Manufacturers Association in pass
ing resolutions urging increased
federal assistance in controlling the
disease.
Specimens of infected trees will
be exhibited at the meeting Tues
day and complete information re-
garding the disease presented. 1t is
expected that one or more represcn-
tatiVes of the federal government
will be on hand to discuss the stua-
ton from the national standpoint.
AN effort will be made to work
out the most effective possible plan
OF cooperation between the federal
and state governments, towns and
private owners. All of these
agencies must work together to ac-
Complish results that are equally
worth while, and it is particularly
important that the towns take an
active part in the work. Control
measures will be far cheaper and
more effective if undertaken at once
than if postponed even year OF
two wears"

STATE HOUSE
Mex. meeting unei Friday 10 A. NJ

Paul d. Sargent, chief engineer OF
the state Highway Commission. Sat-
urday sent a communication to the
Maine delegation in Congress stating
that the commission is very much
opposed to the laying OF taxes on
motor vehicles and upon gasoline for
the purpose OF raising funds for SOL
ders' bonus, or for any other pur-
pose unless IL be directly for road i'm
provemcnt purposes.
AS you are we'll aware. the auto
mobilIsts OF Maine are carrying the
major portion of the burden Of high
way improvement in this State" says
Mr.. Sargent.
In many states they carry the en-
tire burden, and to lay additional
taxes upon this class OF property
holders at this time. would, in the
judgment OF this commission. very
seriously endanger the carrying on Of
improved road programs. not only in
Maine but in practically every other
state.
L might mention that these road
programs just now are affording more
relief TO the unemployed than any
other single item OF construction
work. taking the country as whole,
and IT would appear very unwise to
do anything which would seriously
interfere or hamper the continuity Of
that program in the present state of
industrial depression"

adults in Maine are eligible and are in

stumbling block for everybody. some
partially correcting the sentence but
nearly all falling down on the word

many are guilty of. The 20" in advis-
