Chicago, July 15.-Virtualy aban.
 doning hope Of an early settlement Of the railroad strike, following tho failure of last nights conferences, railroad executives today prepared to make determined effort to reopen shops with non-union employees, ac- cording to high official of the U. S. Railroad Labor Board.
 This official who declined to be quoted directly said peace moves could be suspended for the present as the carriers and strikers were unable to find any common ground for starting negotiations when Chairman Ben Hooper sought to get them together yesterday.
 The Big Objection.
 The stumbling block in the path of settlement it was said at the labor board will be the unions demand for restoration of seniority and other privileges to the strikers.
 The roads indicated to Chairman Hooper that the men who have stuck by their employers and the new employees enlisted will be protected in the seniority they have thereby at- tained.
