Texts Were Identical.

The Presidents statement was direct
ed toward stories direct and indirect that
proposals submitted to the meeting of
railway executives in New York on
Tuesday were different in text or mean
ing from those which the President had
assurances from spokesmen from both
sides would be acceptable.
An impression has gone out, u was
stated, that there was a modification or
the terms submitted by the President
between the time Of the submission to
the head Of the railway executives i'm
an informal interview. and the formal
submission. To this answer was made
that. There was a change IN the pro-
position. but IL was q change in sec
tion 2. and because IL was change
wholly voluntary on the part OF the
President. and because the change was
contrary to the original proposition laid
before the workmen. the President took
the pains in his message 70 Mr.. Jewel,
head OF the shop worers. TO point out
the change.
Mr.. Cuyler saw the proposition as
submitted in writing and there we're
no changes made, after his perusal"
The association of railway executives
turned down the third proposition. WHICH

The possibility Of an extra session

In letter to the Governor the As

urging the necessity for special ses-
sion, wrote:
II feel that the mere creation of the
commission will not be sufficient to
meet the situation. The powers of the
commission must, in my judgment, be
much broader than is possible under
the existing law. Should the situation

posal funds 70 purchase coal and, If
necessary. other commodities, either

Action by the Federal Government
i'm the railway strike will wait the
first definite failure OF railroad to
function in transportation. Until there
is evidence of public jeopardy the
Government will keep hands Off
In the meantime 1t can be authori-
tatively stated that President Harding
and his advisers are watching with
some trepidation Developments which
promise q finish fight between the
railroads and organized railway unions.
II can be said on high authority
that the President does not view with
equanimity and will not stand aside
in an effort to break organized labor
on the theory that organization OF
workmen is wrong in principle.
The first official statement on the
declination of railroad executives of
the country 20 accept the railway
strike settlement proposal OF the
President was made to-day. Ii was
to the effect that the action OF the
railway executives in declining the
Presidents proposal was not due TO
any misunderstanding OF the Presi-
dents terms.
Stories have been broached 10 the
effect that when representatives In effect
pledged acceptance OF the President $
proposals. q misunderstanding came as
result OF change made IN text or
meaning. This was officially and au-
thorita.ively denied by the White House.
President Harding said to-day that in
dealing with a matter OF this importance
or any other, the President never per-
mits Misunderstanding nor makes any
Misrepresentation.
The New York herald., 1922-08-05
Expected Acceptance.

The issue made on understanding ~
terms clears up the optimism of Wash

met and declined the Presidents pro-
posal.
II can he stated on the highest au-
thority that the President had assvr-
ances from the accredited representa-
tives OF the railroads that his proposal
as submitted 10 the meeting OF rail-
way executives on Tuesday would he

The Governor would say no more for

conviction that the Government in
Washington is doing everything pos

with a laugh when the action Of the

tually asking him to accept renomi-
