TAKES
Up ALL PHASES Of
STRIKE SITUATION
No Suggestion at Washington
Labor Board Will Lose
Solid Support.

Washington. July 23.-The govern
ment's future course in the situation
created by the strike of railroad shop
craftsmen was still left in the realm
of conjecture Sunday. though Presi-
dent Harding. who was in personal
touch all day Saturday with the prob
lem and personalities in it, cancelled
his weekend engagements and re-
mained at the White House Sunday.
where he could be in close communica- :
ton with whatever other government
agencies were active
Whether Chairman Hooper of the
railroad labor board who returned to
Chicago last night after an extended
conference with Mr. Harding, carried
new and highly confidential instructions
for a reopening of negotiations with
the union leaders, or whether the ad-
ministration intended to stand by the
labo rboard, were matters concerning
labor board. were matters concerning
cial in Washington would talk.
Every possible contingency in con-
nection with the rail situation has been
canvassed by President Harding in his
conferences with advisers in the cabi-
net and with members of the senate.
it was understood the suggestions
placed before the government includ lng
even federal control both of railroads
and mines as n step to be considered
in the final emergency. Other sugges-
tons were said TO have been that the
strike be left to wear itself out. the
government maintaining policy of
protecting interstate commerce mean
while: that labor representatives be
charged in court proceedings with con-
spiracy TO interrupt interstate com
and finally that railroad man
agements be required to yield on the
seniority rule. while the railroad labor
board be induced to modify some of
the concessions against which the shop
crafts have struck.
= To date every White House pro-
nouncement has been of a nature sup
porting the railroad labor board and
the actions of Chairman Hooper.
Opinion that any modification of this
attitude was intended lacked official
support Sunday night.
