No New Laws.
There was no discussion concerning the

new laws would be unnecessary and un-
helpful for the moment.

Suggestions that the president intend

Three Leading Principles In
Way of Settlement of Rail
Strike Now, Explains Jewell
Roads Refuse to Continue Semi
ority or Establish Adjustment
Boards.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Three leading
principles now prevent a possible set
tIement of the railway shopmen's
strike, B. NJ. Jewell, head of tn rail-
ways department of the American
Federation Of Labor said in state
ment tonight. These issues, he said
are found in the refusal Of the rail
executives:
1. To discontinue contracting out Of
work
q. To establish national board of
adjustment.
8. To continue seniority rights of
employees who suspended work.
Up To Roads
"The responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the COM
munittes they serve and to the wage
earners upon the railroads and else
where, through continuance of the
present suspension of work" the state
ment said, rests now plainly upon the
association of railway executives ana
particularly upon that small but dom
mating group, representing the New
York banking interests.
Contracting Out
Pointing out that the railroad labor
board has decided against the practice
of contracting out railroad work in
certain cases. Mr.. Jewell asserted that

trail and its subsidiaries including the
