HARDING READY TO
 TAKE OVER ROADS
Is Reported Prepared to Act as SOor as Congress Grants Authority
 Would Prevent Tie-Up.

Washington, Aug. 9-The railroad executives, at their meeting in New York Friday, will be urged by their legal advisers, who have been in close touch with the administration, to ac- cept President Harding's latest rail strike settlement proposal, leaving the seniority question to the Railway Labor Board.
 This information was obtained to- day upon the best authority. Wheth- CT the advice will be accepted depends by the die hard" Eastern executies, led by l.. F. Loree, president of the Deleware and Hudson railroad. He believes that adoption of the presi- dents plan would caM for a complete surrender of the railroad heads. Prospect of favorable action by the executives, however, did not mitigate the seriousness of the outlook. The 16 chiefs of the various railroad labor organizations are in Washington or Cn their way here for the general con ference Friday, at which they eX- pected, not only to reject the presi- dents settlement proposal, but also tC adopt measures which may bring on ss complete tie-up of the nation $ transportation system.
 All Unions Represented.
 Bert M. Jewell, head of the shop craft organizations, received word today from Warren s. Stone, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, to the effect that all the train service unions would be represented. This means a 100 per | cent response to the appeal of the shop craft leaders for a general con- ference.
 Shop craft leaders will not reply to the presidents proposal until after the general conference Friday, though they probably will hold a preliminary meeting tomorrow.
 i The probable line of action which the brotherhoods will adopt is ex- pected to include a separate reply from the shopmen formally rejecting Mr. Harding's peace plan and a gen. eral declaration of the train service organizations of their intention oi refusing to operate equipment which they have reason to believe endangers their lives and the lives of the public
 Anticipating rejection by the shop men, the president, it is said, is going ahead with his plan of ealing upo1 Congress next week to give his addi tional powers to deal with the situa tion. It is generally believed that de spite reluctance of the administra tion to take such drastic steps, the takisg over of the railroads pendine a settlement of the shopmen's dispute will be the only means of averting 6 general railroad paralysis.
