AT the conference the brotherhood

back to the railroad labor board, as
President Harding suggested, be sub.
mitted to some form Of outside
arbitration. That was their only
suggestion. 1t was emphatically re-

insisted that they must stand their
ground on the seniority issue and that
railroad employees, under the decision
of the railroad labor board, when
they go on strike in defiance OF the
boards rulings automatically cease to

Unofficial Statement Regarded as
Virtual Assent to Recent Proposal
by President.

New York.--The executive heads Of
accepted President Harding's second
proposal for settlement Of the nation
wide railroad strike.
This unofficial announcement was
made following a prolonged con-
ference at the Grand Central terminal
surrounded by the greatest secrecy.
Officially il was merely stated that a
committee representing virtually all
the railroads in the county would wait
on President Harding at the White
House with a reply to his program,
drafted by a committee appointed by
the Association of Railway EXecu.
tives and approved by the body as a
Ghole.
The conditions which went into the
acceptance, according to unofficial
sources, were:
/. That the presidents request that
the strikers be taken back should be
interpreted that as many strikers
should be rehired as may be needed
Wy IL OduO W DIluS thCl SllOl
forces to normal.
2. That such strikers should be
taken back Internationally and that
the railroad labor board later should
determine whether they were to re
gain their seniority privileges.
President Harding had suggested
that all strikers be given back their
old jobs and that the question OF
seniority be left to the railroad labor
board to be thrashed out later.
That it is a virtual acceptance Is
indicated by the attitude Of President
Loree of the Delaware and Hudson
and President Underwood. Of the
Erie. The former said that he would
abide by the decision OF the associa
ton. meaning the Association of Rail
way Executives, while the latter de
clared. II have witnessed the defeat
Of my forces"
Both these men have been strongly
against n recession from the dec
to return to work after dates set by
the roads had forfeited seniority
rights.
Whether the representatives of the
railroads unions, now at Washington,
would concede anything from their
stand on President Harding's first
proposal to have the roads take back
strikers with seniority rights un.
impaired" was not known. but was
believed TO depend largely on the
tone Of the reply Of the executives,
and the stand which the president
would take.

A more substantial increase was

ducts, other than iron and steel. The
most encouraging increase in employ
ment was found in the leather in
dustry. The decrease in liquors and
