The bureau based its calculation on
the production by $4,000 men---the
number said by the Department Of Labor
to be at work In the mines---of some-
thing over 100000 tons In the week
preceding the railway shopmen's strike.

PRESIDENT CERTAIN
OF RAILWAY PEACE
Continued from First Page.

August. Assurances have been given the
men that this matter would be expedited
az much as possible. Several members
of the Cabinet have ever contended that
there was much to be said for the con-
tention of the shopmen. that the slash
in wages was too drastic, and that the
facts in the case plainly demanded a re-
hearing. The President took the position
that IL the men had just claim they
had a right to a rehearing. put had no
right to disobey the Railroad Labor
Board.
1t is understood that at the confer
ence between the President and Chair
man Hooper there was discussed the
question of permanent peace on the rail-
roads, the extent to which the board is
handicapped by the limitation of its
powers and the remedies that will be
necessary to make it effective
These latter problems We're discussed
in conference between Chairman
Hooper and Senator Cummins (Rep,
Ia.), chairman of the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce, who will have
charge of whatever legislation is re-
garded as necessary to bolster up the
transportation act.
Two developments relative to the
board may be looked for. First, the be-
lief has grown in recent months that II
should sit in Washington and not in
Chicago and that it's functioning should
be brought into closer relation with the
Interstate Commerce Commission on the
theory that the body which makes rates
should have a direct and, IL possible. a
physical contact with the organization
that passes on wages. Second, an en-
largement OF the powers of the board,
even to the extent of giving 1t punitive
powers similar to those given the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, is favored
by many.
Persons close TO the President said
that the proposal for settlement or
| this controversy had something more
than an Immediate bearing on the pres
| ent rail situation, that il would embody
TO all intents and purposes manifesto
regarding the obligatory character or
the findings and decisions Of the rail-
road labor board: that 1t is closely
! linked up with the public interest in
| transportation and that In the main
tenance of peace Its authority must be
regarded by all parties as paramount.
| This manifesto is in effect declaration
that the findings of the board on wages
and working conditions are or must be
made as binding on labor and on the
railroads as the rate DEGREES OF the
