Shop Workers as a Bluff.

New York. June 2S.--Railroad officials and public officers went ahead today with plans to circumvent any tying up of traffic and necessary food supplies for Greater New York in the event the railroad shop repairmen and mainte- nance of way workers go out on their threatened strike Saturday.
 Confidence was expressed at the offices of the eleven railroads entering New York city that all traffic would be moved and no food shortage would result for the metropolis. because of the strike. Raj. executives also said passenger schedules would not be interrupted. City authori- ties have made plans to supply New York with milk and perishable food- stuffs by motor truck if necessary. and the port of New York authority revived its rear old organized design to supply Greater New York with fuel and food etuffs in an emergency. Twelve hours notice will set the organization in mo- ton, it is said.
 Labor leaders estimated that more than 125.o00 workers would be involved in Greater New York in a strike of tn, car repairmen. maintenance men and clerks. No great activity was displayet at headquarters of the unions involved must OA lne lcdoe1S DelllB aDSeAl al Onl cago.

TWO POSSIBLE MEANS OF
 AYERTING RAILROAD STRIKE

Chicago, June 2S (By the A. P0.-Two possible means of averting the threatened call strike of 100000 shopmen suggested themselves to railroad circles tonight, followed by what B. M. Jewell head Of the shop unions, termed the Hast word's to the railroads in the union ultimatum sent to the association of railway execu- tives last night.
 The executives. by coincidence, were scheduled to meet in Chicago tomorrow afternoon, and local railroad executives today said the shopmen's proposal of truce pending further negotiations on wages and working conditions would un- doubtedly receive attention.
 , President Jewell's telegram last night to T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the executives left little leeway for avoiding the strike 1t was felt by the railroad of- ficials today.
 The certain rejection of the union pro- posal, therefore. left. in the opinion of railroad men, but two possible loopholes to avoid issuance of the strike cali.
 One was that a conference between the union leaders and the executives might be called tomorrow, and if no agreement was reached a technical dispute might be announced. over which the railroad labor board, acting under authority of the transportation act, could take jurisdiction as it did in the big four brotherhoods strike last year and act to prevent a walk-out
 The other was that if the strike is call. ed the board could also take jurisdiction under the act, on the ground that tht strike would interrupt commerce, and or der the me nback 10 work.
 Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the board refused to comment on .heS two posslbili l ties tonight. The action of tce board il the threatened strike last October was in terpreted as representing the boards DO sition on the first possibility. and sine l the board has never had occasion to ac | in any strike of corsequence. the chair man declined to staet what the fedora
 body's interpretation of the transporta | ton act on that point would be.

PRESIDENT HARDING TAKES
 HAND IN COAL STRIKE

Washington, June 2S. - Invitations went out from the White House today asking the leaders of the, striking miners and the representatives of the employing coal operators in both the bitumonious and anthracite fields of the United States to meet President Harding Satur day, ito devise methods upon which ne gotiations for the settlement of the coal strike can be initiated"
 The communications made evident that careful and complete discussions with spokesmeh on both sides of the in- dustrial struggle had preceded the meet ing call, and prompt and ready accept ances are expected immediately.
 John L. Lewis, chief of the United Mine Workers, who remained in the city after a personal interview with the president, accepted at once in behalf of the union.
 The wording of the presidents message was interpreted demonstrating the de- sire of the administration to hold the meeting about the controversies which have deadlocked the unionized section of the industry since April l. Official, but informal comment emphasized 1t was the intention that the conference should be held merely to discuss ways and means for settlement and not to take up the miners demands for continuance ot war
 
 n1and in the bitumincus field for separate district wage agreements supplanting the semi-national wage contracts that nave heretofore been made. It was fully ex- pected, however, that when the meeting assembled, the president of his cabinet members who have participated in the preliminary efforts would have a program for continuation of the settlement attempt to present to the assemblage There was no hint, however, as to the line such a program might follow.
 Secretary of Labor Davis, who has conducted the negotiations with the union for the government, announced the &C., ton contemplated after prolonged con- ference today with the president, and of ficial copies of the invitations were given out later. Alfred M Ogle, president of the National Coal association, was asked to notify the associations subordinate operators organizations to name repre- sentatives for the meeting. while s. D. 1 Warriner, Of the Anthracite Operators committee, was invited to represent an- thracite operators with the understanding that an additional anthracite sock kesnan should participate
 discussions with the operators took place in New York recently, Secretary Hoover speaking for the government. Ow- ing 70 the large number of individuals ana corporations engaged in bituninous production. it was said. the Natioy,a1 Coal association had undertaken to name a representative group for the conference | 10 speak for the union. the president invited, in addition to Mir. Lewis and 'John Brophy-head of bituminous miners, district at Clearield, Pa,-twenty-three other district presidents of the mine workers organizations.

 "The struggle amounts to one for pos session of the city, in view of the syste- matic seizure of premises in different parts of Dublin, which are designed to become nests of snipers.
