B|GF|VE LEADERS
AND RAIL CHIEFS
NEAR AGREEMENT
Have Practically Agreed Upon
Strike Settlement
BOTH MAKE SESSIONS
Gentlemen's Understanding Will
Respect Rights of
New Employees

New York, Aug. 10. The flye
great railroad brotherhoods, which
have stepped into the nationwide
shipments strike as mediators, yester.
day offered to the roads what they
termed practical proposition for
peace, and the roads took the propos.
al under consideration.
A committee Of nine executives, ap.
pointed to meet the brotherhood men,
listened to this proposal, hastily sum.
moned a general meeting OF the rep
resentatiyes OF l4S roads, which prob
ably will be held here Tuesday, then
fixed the next meeting with the med
lation committee for Wednesday in
this city,
Neither side would officially dis
close the terms of the proposition.
In some quarters close to the en-.
ferees It was said that acceptance OF
the proposal by the executives would
result In the immediate return OF all
strikers to Their old Jobs with ttlt
and unimpaired seniority and pension
rights. in addition to retention OF
men hired since the strike.
The proposition, on the other hand,
was outlined IN other quarters as
providing for restoration OF strikers
as rapidly as pos sible. with their Sc
niority rights to be adjusted ultl-
mate to the satisfaction OF all
The proposition. in these quarters
was understood TO be on the basis Of
gentleman's agreement which those
close to the conferees said would
give due respect TO the rights OF the
new men. This agreement would as
sure jobs to both the strikers and the
new men. since railroads and brother.
hood officials have stated that they
could use l50 per cent Of their nor
nal shopcraft forces to prepare for
the resumption or coal mining and
the transportation of a bumper crop
The gentlemen's agreement, it was
understood, would provide that the
question which will arise at the end
of the busy fall season would be
handled as it has been in other years
accord ny to the usual welding
out process
The whole plan, it was unofiiclally
indicated, would mean that without
any apparent surrender by either the
railroads or the shopcrafts the strik-
ers would not suffer any more in the
long run than would be usual after
an Industrial struggle of this kind.

CONGRESS TOLD
BOTH SIDES SHARE
BLAME FOR STRIKE
President Pledges Government
TO Sustain Laws
REFERS TO HERRIN EVENT
Seeks Statute to Enable Execu-
tive to Handle Similar
Situation

Washington, August l9.-Presldent
Harding laid the whole story OF the
rail and coal strikes before the
American peope yesterday with
pledge that, whatever the cost gov
ernment by law will be sustained.
Summing up before joint session
of Senate and House his efforts to-
ward industrial peace, the President
asserated that neither employers nor
employees could escape responsibility
for the present situation and that no
small minority would be permitted
by armed lawlessness, conspiracy -
or "barbarity and butchery' to over
ride the paramount interests OF the
public
"We must reassert the doctrine that
in this republic the first obligation
and the first obligation OF every c.ti-
zen, high or low, is to his govern.
ment" said the President
mo matter what clouds may gath
er no matter what storms may ensue,
no matter what hardships may at
tend, or what sacrifice may be neces-
sary, government by law must and
will be sustained
Wherefore, ! am resolved to Use
all the power Of the government to
maintain transportation and to SUI.
tan the right OF men to work,
To strengthen the hand OF the ad-
mnistration in dealing with present
and future coal troubles, Harding
asked for the authorization Of a ma
tional agency to purchase, sell and
distribute coal, and for creation Of a
commission to inquire into every
phase of coal production. sale and
distribution.
No similar request was made for
emergency rail legislation, the Presi-
dent asserting that although the rail
road labor board had inadequate au-
tNority other agencies of the govern
ment we're armed with statutes to
prevent conspiracy against interstate
commerce and to insure safety in
raj way operation.
1T is my purpose he continued,
ito invoke these laws, civil and Grim
inal, against all offenders alike"
One other legislative enactment, a
law to permit the federal government
to step In and protect aliens whore
state protection fails, was advocated
by the chief executive as a result OF
what he termed the butchery OF
human beings, wrought in madness.
at Herrin, H. DESPITE the protests
of foreign governments whose ma
tlonals suffered in the Herrin mine
battle, he said, federal officials were
powerless to take in hand the situa'
tion created by the mockery OF local
inquiry and the failure of Justice In
Illinois.
