II Is Inevitable That Unions
viii Be Drawn Into Fight.

New York, Aug. 24.-The confer
ence held here between 148 railway
executives and the leaders Of the big
five" unions ended in a complete fail
ure The railroads fatty refused the
proposals of the unions and offered
no plan to end the strike, holding to
a policy that the strikers would be
taken back as they were needed with
out seniority rights.
After the conference broke up COM
mittees representing the railroads and
the unions began preparing state
ments setting forth the attitude of
their respective sides. 1t was said
these statements will be given to the
public as soon as they are completed.
Some of the union leaders left the
city.
Other Unions to Go Out.
No one In authority on either side
would discuss the next step, but 1t
seems certain at this time that the
other rail unions will be speedily
drawn into the conflict.
After conference of the "big five"
leaders and representatives Of the
railroads in which the railway execu-
tiyes are reported to have taken a
more obstinate stand than at any
time since the beginning Of the re-
cent negotiations, the union chiefs
went to their hotel for an unofficial
discussion of me situation.
1t was admitted that the status of
the strike was grave and no one
would express any real confidence that
an agreement might be reached at this
time.
The attitude of the railroads at the
session was that they would take
back the striking shopmen as their
services were needed, but they would
make no concession on the point Of
seniority.
Warned by Stone.
The unions took the position that
all of the strikers must be taken back
with their full seniority rights, no
matter what language might be nee
essary to cover this point in man.
ner satisfactory to the roads.
AT the conference Warren S. Stone.
chief Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, is reported to have
made a spirited appeal to the execu-
tives that the strike should be settled
in the interest of public policy, no
matter which side should win or lose
on the face of things.
Mr.. Stone warned the railroads
that it was inevitable that all the
other railroad unions would be drawn
into this conflict unless an agreement
should be reached soon.
