Early Settlement Depends
On Strength of Majority

NEW YORK, July 30.-Early set
tlement of the railroad strike now
appears to depend on whether a ma =
jority OF the executives overrule the
small but powerful group of bitter
enders" representing the big Eastern
lines. who are absolutely set against
yielding an inch on the seniority
question.
This group meets here tomorrow
a day in advance of the big execu-
ives meeting-to organize for a
last ditch fight against any restora-
tion of seniority rights to striking
shopmen. In taking this attitude
they place themselves sauarely in
opposition to the plan of settlement
proposed by President Harding. who
would allow the men who filled the
work without sacrificing any of the
rights accruing to them by reason
Of long service. President Harding
would allow the men who filled the
places of the strikers seniority
based on their length OF service, but
the Eastern executives would plact
them ahead of the strikers.
Every hope of a prompt settlement
now depends on whether the views
of these Eastern railroad heads pre-
vail over the more moderate coun'
ellis Of the other executives wher
the general meeting is held Tuesday
to consider the Presidents pro-
posal.
Backed by Gen. Atterbury, oper-
ating vice president of the Pennsyl.
vania; L. F. Loree. president of the
Delaware and Hudson and chairman
OF the Eastern presidents confer
ence, is urging all executives to re-
fuse any restoration Of seniority
status whatever. Loree has been
particularly critical of President
Harding's efforts to settle the strike
declaring repeatedly that the ad'
ministration. and the President him
self. have made no effort to learr
the point OF view of the shopmen
now at work. Officials OF the New
York Central. the Erie. the Lacka
wanna, the New Haven and other
big Eastern lines, are backing Loret
in his position.

FOR new ATTACK
BY CHANG TSO LIN

Reassembling of Par.
lament.

SHANHAIKwAN, July 3o.-A Sc
cret agent Of Gen. wu Pei Flu. sent
into Manchuria. finds that Gen.
Chang Tso Lin Is making extensive
hostile preparations outside of the
Great Wall. having increased his
troops by a brigade of infantry and
artillery.
He has established three defense
lines. The first is at the wall one
mile from Shanhaikwan. the second
at Wanchiatun and the third at
Suiching. with fortresses being buifr
at Chiumenkow. Gen. WI Tao Hsi
has been placed in command with
orders to repel any effort to re-
cover railway stock or an invasion
by Chihli troops.
1t is believed that these activities
are the result of an alliance with
certain Yangtse Tuchuns with the
intention of restoring Tuan Chi Jul
former Anfu leader. to power. and
then negotiating with DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, whose forces are about to en-
gage In a decisive battle with Gen.
Chang Hung Ming in northern
Kwantung.
As result Gen. WI has been COM
PEELED to renew military prepara-
tions on an active scale in eastern
Chihli within forty miles of Shan
haikwan, and also at Paotingfu, Lo
Yang and Kifeng.
The rolling stock of the Pekin-
Hankow Railway is being hus-
banded. Observers believe Gen.
Chang will time his attempt to re-
turn to control in Pekin with the
effort to reassemble Parliament next
week.

Vanguard of Chairmen
Are on Hand In Chicago

CHICAGO. July 3o.-The van
guard of the general chairmen Of
the federated shop crafts who will
confer here Tuesday with President
Jewell and his executive board on
acceptance of the peace proposal
reported rendered the leaders OF
the striking shopmen by President
Harding. arrived here today and
immediately went into preliminary
conferences. Nearly q hundred
union oficialsI will take part in
the sessions. which are to determine
whether the unions will accept the
peace overtures of the government.
While the seniority question is
Of paramount interest, IL was point
ed out by leaders that even IL the
rail executives and unions no get
together on this phase of the strike
the walkout, but a truce to be fol-
lowed by conciliation.
Oppose United States Proposals.
The meetings Of the union lead
ers will be featured by as much
opposition to government peace pro-
posals as the attitude of one fac
tion Of the executives indicates the
New York sessions will be marked
by. according to conversations at
the shopmen's headquarters. Each
of these opposing factions appear
to be in the minority. however.
while President Jewell did not
make public the Presidents pro-
posals, 1t was reported that on the
seniority question 1t suggests Civ
ing union men who did not strike
first preference. those who did Sec
ond consideration and strike and
strikebreakers third choice.
In the same way that the railroad
executives declare that the strikers
are no longer employees and deserve
no consideration. the union men hold
that all of their members who did
not obey the strike order are no
longer members of their organiza-
tion and are to be classed as strike
breakers. Some of the union leaders.
and particularly the officers of the
blacksmiths and boilermGkers, say
that nothing short of status quo be-
fore the strike will he acceptable
to them as a truce basis.
Peace Seen ir Pariey.
Despite the opposition to govern
ment Intervention in some union
quarters, II Is generally believed
that the men will accept the peace
proposals. This belief Is emphasized
by the bitter opposition to the plan
of the coterie of Eastern executives
advising a finish fight as soon as
they received II. While some Of the
executives criticised the President,
the union leaders have said nothing
for public consumption, but have
sent out hurry-up orders tor all of
their chairmen to get here on a dou-
BILE quick.
