Satisfaction by Participating Companies and
Heads of lmperile ed Industries
Burlington Refuses to Be Party to Agreement

Chicago, Sept. lj.- Railway strike
peace has been virtually declared on
approximately one-iourth OF the
country's POI class ! roads.
This announcement was made late
today by the railroad shoperaits gem
ersl conference committee OF 20,
which. eonyening at the Masonic
temple Monday morning, had been
considering separate settlement
plan drawn up al secret conferences
held ia Baltimore 10 days ago.
The strike presumably will con
'inue on other lines.
Not Formally Signed.
The agreement, which is yet TO be
formally signed by representatives OF
the carriers which have indicated
willingness to become parties to IT,
makes no specific reference to SEMI
ority rights, but expressly stipulates
that the shopmen shall return TO
work at the wages against which
they struck July !, mot later than
50 days after the signing OF this
agreement"
Announcement OF the big step to-
ward ending the strike, was hailed
with satisfaction, not only by repre-
senatives OF the railways involved,
but by heads OF industries whose wei.
fare has been seriously imperiled.
I'VE are looking for tremendous
business and will be able to take care
OF it," said w. II. Finley. president
of the Chicago Northwestern rail-
way, in a statement issued tonight.
The Northwestern is in on the sep
arate settlement plan.
While it seemed certain that about
50 roads, il the subsidiaries be count
ed, would make peace with the shop
men, representatives OF the so-called
hard boiled" railways, which have
not yielded on the question Of SEM.
ority rights, were prompt in reaffirm-
ing their position.
Burlington Not Involved.
1--WE are not involved" said Haze
Holden, president of the Burlington.
We are going ahead with practically
full forces"
Efforts to reach w. w. Atterbury,
vice president in charge OF opera
tions OF the Pennsylvania system,
were unavaiIing, but at his office It
was said the Pennsylvania was not
concerned in the negotiations.
One provision OF the settlement
terms. about TO be consummated was
construed in some quarters as di-
rected at the existence of the United
States railroad labor board, against
whose decisions on wages and work
ing conditions the 100000 shopmeu
declared the strike that has threat
ened to cripple the transportation
facilities OF the nation.

disputes are TO be referred to a COM
