Washington, July ZS--Ihree pro-
posaIs for Immediately ending the
railroad strike have been submitted
to representatives of the railroad ex-
ecutives and labor unions by President
Harding. according to information OBJ
pained today from administration ad-
visers who talked with the executive.
The proposals all hinge on various
plans for adjusting the employees
seniority rights and will be submitted,
1t was said, to the executives meeting g
in New York Tuesday and to an en-
ployes' conference in Chicago to be
arranged by B. NJ. Jewell, the shop
mems leader.
ShOpmen Like 1t?
There were indications from various
sources close to the two parties to the
strike that leaders of the shopmen
had manifested an inclination to ac-
cept the presidents plan in the main
and that representatives of the execu-
tives considered it unsatisfactory in
principle.
Final decision, however. will rest
with conferences of the two groups.
The president was said by his ad-
visers to believe that three proposals
promised considerable hope of a strike
settlement and to have declared that
railway situation within the %past few
hours than Cor several weeks.
Labor Board Into 1t, Tho.
Rehearing by the railroad labor
board of the shopmen's wage ques-
tion was said to be embraced in all
of the three proposals. One proposal
it was said, also contemplated that
both employers and employees ag-ee
that hereafter the boards rulings be
observed without question.
The president suggested with refer
ence TO seniority, 1t was asserted, that
as an initial step under one proposal
the labor board be given complete jur-
isdictiOn over the seniority contro-
versy.
If this could not be agreed upon,
IL was said, the president proposed, as
a substitute the plan for settlement
by the executives and employees of
each separate road. thru joint COM
mittees composed of three members
representing each party to the contro-
versy.
An Arbitration Board, Also.
In event of agreement of such
committees it was proposed that the
question then be taken to some form
of arbitration tribunal. All admins
tration officials acquainted with the
proposals appeared to share the pres
ident's view that a basis upon which
the strikers might return to work had
been worked out.
