RAIL SITUATION
MARKING TINE
Until the Conference in Washington
Fnday-The Leaders Arriving
There.

Washington, D. G., Aug. 9The rail
strike situation appeared destined 10
mark time until next Friday although
executives { the striking shop craft
unions were in Washington to-day to
consider President Harding's second
proposal for voluntary termination
OF the walkent.
Shop craft federation leaders here
have stated that the reply to the prA
ident's communication proposing immc
diate resumption Of work and refer
ence Of the seniority issue to the rail-
road labor board for decision would
be submitted to the general conference
Of railroad labor heads here Friday be-
fore it was sent to the White House.
As the railway executives also will
meet that day in New York to draft
their answer to the administration
plan, active developments in the situ-
alton before the end of the week were
improbable
Rejection Of the administration plan
BY the workers i generally accepted
al certain. Forecasts as to the course
of the arrangements are not so def :
mite; but II was apparently the inten-
tion Of second ALLURE to bring the
two sides to an agreement that would
restore full transportation facilities
that Mr.. Harding moved yesterday TO-
bring the authority Of Congress TO
bear on what is admittedly a serious
national crisis.
With both Senate and House in ses-
sion il would be possible for the pres
ident to carry the rail and coal strike
problems before the law making body
next Tuesday, if he so desired, and ask
for legislation that would permit the
government to move directly toward
restoration Of industrial peace with
the power of law behind II.

At Employment Bureau of Amoskesg

Manchester. n. H.. Aug. 9.--Permis-
sion to picket the employment bureau
OF the Amoskeag corporation has been
granted the striking textile workers
Of this city by a ruling made by Judge
Oliver w Branch, who modified the
injunction on July 20. The police had
stopped pickets at the bureau.
Other points explained were that the
police may accompany pickets on their
tour OF duty about the mills gates and
that pickets must be supplied with
badges and information before going
on duty. This does away with the cap
tains Of pickets sought by the strikers.
The employment bureau of the
