CONFERENCE ON STRIKE SIT
lIATION AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, July 27.-The white
house again today became the center
of Developments in rail strie and the
focus of efforts toward peace, .Presi-
dent Harding meeting in conference
first with 7. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
Of the Association of Railway Exec
utives and then with the strike lead
ers, headed by 3. NJ. Jewell, who reach'
ed Washington today from Chicago
Mr.. Jewell and his colleagues went
into conference with the president at
II o'clock, shortly after Mr.. Cuyler
had concluded an hour and a hal1 s
discussion of the strike situation with
Harding.
Mr.. Cuyler said he had presented the
viewpoint Of the railroad manage
ment and that he would remain in
Washington to await the pleasure OF
the president but that there mad
been no new development in the situa
ton.
All of the strike leaders maintained
absolute silence regarding their visi
to Washington prior to seeing the
president, even refusing to say wheth
er they came at the invitation Of Mr.
Harding or upon their own initia
tive" The general belief, however
was that Secretary of Labor Davis
during his conference with Mr.. Jewel
last week at Mooseheart, ILL.,, had sue
scsted the leaders come to Washing
ton and that they had acted upo
that suggestion after Mr.. Davis ha
acquainted the president with it.
