New York, Aug. 24.-Secret meet.
ings between certain railroad execu'
tives and representatives Of the rail
union were to be held today in tho
hope of bringing about settlement
in the shopmens strike.
The secret meetings were sought
following collapse of the efforts to
settle the strike on a national basis.
This breakdown came about when
the brotherhoods, acting as media
tors, demanded that strikers be re-
instated with full seniority rights
and the executives flatly refused
If the secret meetings are held.
the result may be negotiations OF
separate peace between certain OF
the roads and their striking shop
men.
However, Bert M. Jewell, prcsi.
dent of the railroad department OF
the American Federation of Labor,
stated that there would be no sepa-
rate peace and declared that the
American AbbUCIdtlOll VI ilnhNu9
Executives representing 148 carriers
had by reiterating their stand-pat at
titude on seniority, virtually locked
out their former employees.
This was the rail peace mediation
plan, offered by the brotherhoods in
the conference yesterday and which
,une turned down.
Reinstatement Of all strikers,
except those found guilty OF per-
forming acts of violence, to their
status as of June 30, 1922.
2-No intimidation TO be used
against tho men when they return.
3--In case of disputes Of the stand
ing of individual carriers, the Unlted
States railroad labor board is to
decide the issue.
Tho reply of the executives:
Use of the word 'reinstate' goes
to the root Of the differences be-
tween us.

RANCE REJECTS
GERMANY PLAN
lBy The United Press. J.

Berlin, Aug. 24.-Germany sub
mitted plans for a five months mora
tolium today and her proposals were
instantly rejected by France.
The German plan, which was
thought acceptable to the allies was
for deposits of gold guarantees
against a temporary moratorium on
reparations payments. Acceptance of
the proposal was expected immediate
ly after it was made to Sir John
Bradbury and M. Mauclere, the allied
guarantees commission here.
The Frenchmen flatly refused to
consider it. France demands a lien
ON German industry in exchange for
temporary relief from payment.
