Resumption of Pre-War Re-
giOnaI ParIeys Plan.
Hoover Tries To Get Railway
Machinery Adjusted.
NOT SUB FOR FEDERAL BOARD
E'Big Four Invited to Help I'm
tangIe Situation.
Regional Boards Were AbOl-
ished During the War.

washington, Jan. 17.-Resumption
of direct negotiations between rail exc
cutives and the big four" brother
hoods doomed today as nationwide
peace move in the tangled affairs of
railroad labor.
The movement, awaiting merely for
NAL approval by railroad heads and
executive committees of the brother
hoods, was intended as a means of
averting a general rail strike this
spring. 1t came as the result of
peace conferences" staged here by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
The plan which was suggested by
the administration involves the restor-
alton of all Drewar regional confer
ences 1t was the intention of the
administration, it was learned today,
to haye all outstanding disputes either
settled or on the way to settlement
within a month before these regional
conferences.
By this means administration off
Gals hope to avert strike movements,
which now loom ominously.
The peace move, its supporters hope,
Will be well established next month.
The initial sessions of the regional
boards are contemplated for February
10, according to announcement by Sec
rotary Hoover.
This date was selected it was
learned, in order to have the direct
negotiations" actually underway prior
to the annual spring run" of rail-
road traffic. Questions involving
wages and working agreements will be
brought Immediately before the
regional conferences, it was said.
Labor Disputes First.
Backers of the movement pointed
out today that the regional bodies will
in no way interfere with or usurp
the powers of the United States rail-
way labor board. The regional bodies,
it was stated, were originally estab-
lished under the same legislation
which created the national board.
Their activities, however, were sus-
pended during the war when govern
ment control became effective
Disputes between labor and any one
of the roads will be first brought be-
fore the regional body having jurisdic-
tion, it was explained. In the event of
a compromise not being effected, the
dispute then Will be taken before the
labor board.
Either side, it was added, also can
appeal a decision of the regional con-
ference and obtain new hearing be-
fore the national board.
To Decide Wage Policy.
Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE wage policy
Of the railroads of the country is ex-
pected to be decided at meeting of
the American railway executives in
session here next Saturday. The meet
ing is a sequel to conference with Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover.
Executives of western roads have
announced their intention of applying
for a general wage cut, seven cases
already have been filed with the United
States labor board. These cases, how
ever have to do with the smaller rail-
roads and cover only a few. classes of
employees.
