CALLS ON HOOPER
Jewell Gives Notice Thai
Shopmen Will Press Case
Against Railroad.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 21.-For the first
time since he issued the call for the
federated shop crafts to walk out on
July 1, B. NJ. Jewell, president of the
organization, today called on the
United States Railroad Board. hold
ing lengthy conference with Chair
man Ben ". Hooper. President Jewell
notified Chairman Hooper that the
shop crafts within few days would
present a petition to the board for
reopening of it's case against the New
York Central, involving establishment
! Elkhart. Ind. This question was be-
fore the board prior to the walkout.
The meeting between President
Jewell and Chairman Hooper was
marked by manifest cordiality. There
was no evidence of any change In the
friendly relations between the two
which existed prior to the strike, and
which brought the two together In
July in vain attempt to settle the
strike. Their efforts were checkmated
by the seniority question, on which
they could not agree.
Strike Halts Case.
When the Baltimore agreement was
accepted by the union chiefs the New
York Central was one of the f1fty-two
signing roads. This agreement pro-
Fided commission OF SIX railroad
~epresentati and six union chiefs
Sts an arbitration committee to settle
disputes growing out of the strike
and those arising in the future. This
commission has no power to sit in the
piecework dispute between the union
and the New York Central.
This difference came to the attention
CT the board some time before July 1.
a portion of the testimony was heard.
the unions claiming the road had vio-
lated the transportation act. while the
management contended that the
proposition had been formally accept
ed by the local representatives of
the union. The case was being con-
sidered by the board when the strike
was called, and as a result no decision
Glas been issued.
President Jewell's visit with Chair
man Hooper is regarded as an indica-
ton that his union will again take
its place before the board to argue
disputes with railroad managements
arising prior to the signing of the
Baltimore agreement. 1t was alsc
stated that the union will call upon
the board to hear controversies with
roads not parties to the Baltimore
agreement.
