PROPOSAL may END
RAILROAD STRIKE
Indications Are That Railroad Strike
viii Be Ended With Few Hours
Great Conference Held
In New York.

New York, Aug, 17.-Railroad peace
hinged today on a conference between
union leaders and rail executives here.
Brotherhood chiefs, headed by War
rem s. Stone, of the engineers, and a
committee of executives headed by
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler were to confer
today on the strike of 100000 railroad
shopmen.
The Brotherhoods, acting as agents
for the shopmen, are understood to
be ready to offer new plan of strike
settlement to the executives.
Chiefs of 16 railroad unions were
assembled, including Bert NJ. Jewell,
president of the railroad department
of the American Federation of Labor.
Leaders of opposing sides were op-
timistic that settlement of the rail tie
up would come out of the conference.
Although Stone would not outline
his plan, it was reported to include
this method, of settling the seniority
question:
Reinstatement of strikers behind
employees who stayed at work and
ahead of men hired since the strike
became eyective.
Fear of embarrassing negotiations
here may cause President Harding to
postpone his scheduled address to
Congress on the railroad strike, it was
reported here.
Harding said Tuesday he would
place the industrial situation before
Congress within 4S hours. The time
limit expires today.
