CLOUDS PASSING

Washington, July 2sThe presi-
dent was said by his advisors to
believe that the three proposals
promised considerable hope Of a
strike settlement and to have de-
clared that more clouds had pass
ed away" in the railway situation
within the past few hours than for
several weeks.
Re-hearing by the railroad labor
board of the shopmen's wage ques-
tion, was said to be empraced in all
three of the proposal. In the pro-
posal it was said, contemplated that
both employers and employees agree
that hereafter the boards rulings
be observed without question.
The president had suggested with
reference to seniority, it was as
serted that as an initial step un-
der one proposal, the labor board
be given complete jurisdiction over
the seniority controversy. If this
would not be agreed upon it was
said the president proposed as a
substitute the plan through joint
committees composed of three mem-
bers representing each party to the
controversy. In event Of disagree
ment Of such committees, it was
proposed that the question then be
taken to some form Of arbitration
tribunal.
All administration officials ac-
quainted with the proposals appear
ed to share the presidents view
that a basis upon which the strikers
might return to work had been
worked out.
