RAIL HEADS
WILL MEET
ON FRIDAY
1t Was Asserted in Govern
ment Circles That Pres.
Harding's Proposal Was
"Final' AS Far AS Eff
forts for Voluntary Ac-
ton Are Concerned

Washington, d. G., Aug. s.Presi
dent Harding's proposal for immediat
termination Of the railway shop craft
strike awaited to-day formal action b,
both sides Ii the controversy but re
lection BY the unions was foreshad
owed in statements BIZ their leader
here.
Chief executives of the shop craft
were called To meet here Wednesday
to consider the presidents propose
that the seniority issue be left to ths
railroad labor board for determination
AT the same time. however, the shoF
crafts leaders. who issued the call, also
sought general conference next Fri
day with "all EXECUTIVES Of railroad
labor organizations
B. NJ Jewell, as spokesman for the
trio of shop craft leaders, who con
ferrcd with the president yesterday
and received his subsequent call for
settlement of the strike, said it was
not expected that strike action would
be suggested at the general confer
enee which also will meet here.
In connection with the call for the
shop craft executives to meet and pass
upon the presidents proposal Mr..
Jewell pointed out that he and his col
leagues did not have authority TO an
swer for the federation. He added,
however, that nobody ought to get
the idea that the shop federation will
accept"
The railroad executives were to meet
Friday in New York to formulate their
answer to the White House communi-
cation. As the project was said to
have been formulated at the White
House without previous conferences
with the railroad heads, nothing def
mite as their probable attitude was
known here.
TO clear the way for carrying out
the administration proposal that work
be resumed and the seniority issue be
committed to the railroad labor board
for binding decision, the board made
II clear in formal resolution that it
had not up to this time passed upon
this question. Some OF President Hard
ing's advisors are known to have tax
en- the position all along that the board
had power to consider and decide this
point and it was evident that Mr.
Harding shared that view when he
sought to restore full transportation
facilities by putting the problem in
the boards hands.
Mr.. Hardings- action to-day was Of
ficially described as final" 50 far as
the governments efforts to bring the
strike to q settlement through volun-
tary action of the two parties Is con-
cerned. Just what significance at
taches to that description is not ap-
parent, though it implies that should
failure again mark the presidents at
tempt to mediate the controversy, the
government has a course of action in
view to protect the interests of the
nation as a whole.
