ment officials, conferred with Sec
rotary of Labor Davis at II o'clock

ment probably would be issued after

Mr.. Davis, prior to meeting with
Mr.. Lewis indicated that tho entire
coal question would be Aitsussed
and analysed at the luncheon. The
secretary said that the coal opera
/tors still were holding out for the

RAILROAD WALKOUT
JULY | SEEMS SURE
DESPITE DECISION
Union Chiefs Meet in Chica-
go to Canvass Vote-BaI-
lots Overwhelmingly in
Favor of Strike

CHICAGO, June 26.-(By the AS.
ISOLATED Press.l-Saturday's deci-
sions by the United States railroad
labor board holding several roads in
violation Of the transportation act,
by farming out work to contractors,
and pending opinions in thirty more
cases which were posted for hearing
today, are expected in railroad cir
Giles to have little influence on union
leaders towards averting the threat
ened rail strike next month.
The board indicated that it would
follow the same general principles
in future decisions in contract cases.
B. NJ. Jewell, head of the railway
employees department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who IS in
charge of the canvass of the shop
mems strike vote, said the result Of
the referendum probably would not
be announced, until Wednesday.
However, statements by various
union leaders that the ballots indi-
cate an overwhelming sentiment IA
voring a strike, and announcements
by union chiefs last week that they
would be governed by the result Of
the referendum, made suspension
of work appear inevitable.
Hope Of averting a strike faded
with statements by John Scott Sec
rotary of the railway employees de-
partment, that the boards ruling in
the contract cases would put no
check on a strike call. Piecework
and the farming out system were
made one Of the issues in the shop.
mems referendum, the others being
the wage cuts effective July 1, and
rules by the board governing over
time and other working conditions.
The issue upon which maintenance
of way employees cast their strike
ballots was the $60,000,OO0 wage
slash they received.
Mr.. Jewell called meeting Of
the shopcrafts' policy committee for
tonight as a preliminary war council
over the proposed strike.
A strike vote is being taken by
railway signal men on approximate
ly one-third of the railroads Of the
country, according to an announce.
ment today by D. w. Helt, president
Of the Brotherhood of Railway Sig
nalmen. The vote is being taken
general committees, all of which
have rejected the wage cut set for
