PRESIDENTS PLAN
SUITS R.R. SHOPMEN
Leaders Of Striking Shopmen
Accept Plan Proposed by
President Harding.

Chicaeo.-Fuu acceptance OF inc
beace PROPOSALS submitted by fresl-
dent Harding was voted wednesday
by leaders of the striking railway
shopmen who, however, gave their own
INTERPRETATION of each Of the three
suggestions.
I'VE accept reluctantly, it Is true'
but commit ourselves to carry out Tue
terms of settlement in utmost sooo
faith and in aid of the general wei
fare" said the message OF acceptahcs
which was sent to President HardhAs
Wednesday night. III these proposals
fail to bring about the results Whlch
Won desire, the responsibility OF
failure will not rest upon the repre-
sentatives of the organized employees.
On the proposal to restore unlm-
paired seniority rights to the strikers
which was rejected by railway execu-
tiyes at a meeting Tuesday in New
York, the message declared:
1T would certainly be wholesale
Injustice of unparalleled extent II
hundreds of thousands OF experienced
men who have given four to 4O years
service, and whose value to the trans
portation industry is proportloheo u
the length of their service, should Do
placed in a position of inferiorlty to
a limited number of men who nave
been employed as substitutes for these
experienced railroad workers"
Replying to the presidents sugges-
ton that railroads and workers agree
to abide by decisions of the railroad
labor board, the reply said the shop
men had always taken the position
that so long as they continued to rem
der service they should abide by the
rules and working conditions and &C
cept the wages agreed upon by proper
negotiations or determined by tie Ia
Dor board after a hearing OF a dispute.
Violations of the law and refusal to
abide by decisions of the board have
been exhibited only by the railway
arrangements" the reply said, and as
serted that suspension OF work under
unacceptable conditions was not in
violation of the boards decisions. g
On the presidents proposal that
lawsuits growing out of the strike be
withdrawn and that railroad labor
board decisions to which exception Is
taken by either side may be taken to
the board by either side for rehear-
hot
understanding of the union leaders
that the labor board would give q
prompt rehearing and decision OF
questions in dispute and that there
would be no question as to who are
the properly accredited spokesman Of
the vast majority of railway en-
ployes.
The decision accepting the presi-
dents suggestions was reached after
the policy committee of 80 men of the
shOpcrafts organization had cOnsid
cred the proposal two days. After the
executive committee had decided to
recommend acceptance, the policy
committee followed the recommends
ton, but demanded that it be given
the right to give approval to the mes
sage of acceptance and the interpre-
tation of the proposal sent to the pres
ident Wednesday night.
Timothy Healy, president Of the
firemen and oilers unior, which is
also on strike, signed the shopmen's
acceptance of the presidents proposal,
