Hold to Slim
Hope of Averting
Rail Strike July |

Chicago, June 2S-(By A. Pr
Two possible means of averting the
threatened rail strike of 10000 shop
men suggested themselves to rail-
road circles tonight followed by
what B. NJ. Jewell head of the chop
unions, termed the last word" to the
railroads in the union ultimatull
sent to the Association of Railway
Executives last night
The executives, by coincidence
were scheduled to meet in Chicago
tomorrow afternoon and local rail-
road executives today said the shop
mems proposal of a truce pending
further negotiations on wages and
working conditions would undoubt-
eddy receive attention.
President Jewell's telegram last
night to I. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the executives left little leeway for
avoiding the strike, it was felt by the
railroad officials today.
The certain rejection of the union
proposal, therefor. left. in the opin-
ion of the railroad men but two pos
sibe loop holes 70 avoid issuance of
the strike call.
One was that a conference between
the Union leaders and the executives
might be called tomorrow and if no
agreement was reached technical
dispute might be announced, over
which the railroad labor board, act
ing under authority of the transporta-
ton act, could take jurisdiction as did
in the big four brOtherhoodS strike
last year, and a. to prevent a walk
out.
The other was that if the strike is
called the board could also take juris-
diction under the act, on the ground
that the strike would interrupt COM
mercc, and order the men back TO
work.
Ben. w. Hooper, chairman of the
board, refused to comment on these
two possibilities tonight.
Mr. Jewell while refusing also to
discuss the possibilities of a confer
ence tomorrow wit? the railway ex-
ecutivcs said "a statement" would be
given out tomorrow afternoon, about
the hour the executives go into ses-
sion.
