that the railroad strike would be matter
of history within twenty four hours after
acceptance by railway shopmen and

tion circles concerning acceptance by the

ployees who have stuck through the
strike. as we'll as new men who ignored
strong inducement not to accept employ
ment during the emergency.
Patriotic Step.
Personal friends and senatorial advis-
ers of the President were strong in their
conviction that this opposition would be
more than Offset by those executives who
would accept the compromise, either as
a fair basis for settling the controversy,
or because of their conviction that ac-
ceptance was required as a patriotic step.

Optimistic forecast of action to be ex-
pected from the New York was based
to more than a little extent, it was indi-
Gated, on the belief that T. Dewitt
Cuyler, chairman of the executives asso-
citation and President Atterbury of

influential group in the management side
of the rail controversy. would vote for
acceptance.
