cred by Both Shopmen
And Executives.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1s.-Railroad
executives and chiefs OF the big
Five" brotherhoods have agreed on
a compromise proposal for settling
the strike of shopmen. It was in
dicated after an all-day session to-
day.
The conference adjourned to meet
on an unfixed date next week.

the complete membership of the
Association OF Railway Executives
would be required.
After a session this morning the
brotherhood chiefs, who are acting
as mediators, conferred with heads
OF the shop crafts unions. Another
session was held during the after.
noon.
The nature of the proposals on
seniority was not revealed. They
were understood. however. to call
for the return OF the shopmen with
seniority rights behind men who
remained on the job. but ahead of
new men employed. This would
be a concession from each side
The executives have insisted that
the new men should have first
rights In seniority. and that return
ing strikers should go back as new
men. Shopmen have held out for
full retention of their seniority
rights.
All parties to the conference are
carefully refraining from discus-
sion. Bert N. Jewell. leader of the
shopmen. said that the situation is
a delicate one" and declined to
comment. Spokesman for the en-
ecutives would go no further than

Prompt consideration Of meas

Absent members of the Public
Committee on Interstate and For

grams to return to Washington to
take up legislation the President
suggested on the coal situation.
1t appeared certain that the pro-
posed fact-finding commission for
the coal industry would be pro-
vided without serious delay or op-
position. Considerable work along
the lines of this suggestion has
been done. The House Labor Com
mittee has indorsed the bill offered

As to the rest OF the Presidents
program. however. there seemed to
be a good bit of doubt Perhaps
the most important Of his proposals
was that for the creation of a ma
tional agency to purchase and sell
coal and to control distribution and
prices. Many Republican spokes-
men frankly admitted that such a
proposal was bound to meet strong
opposition In both houses. The pre-
diction was made that - would not
be adopted either at this session or
the next.
Close attention was given to the
Presidents declaration that the
