Mysterious, but Hopeful

THE public is still without authoritative
information concerning the plan of set
element upon which leaders of the shop
crafts aud group OF railway executives
are said TO be near agreement, As has been
tine case since the first vague rumors of
negotiations arose, the whole affair Is en-
veloped by a veil of secrecy That there is
no intention ot lifting this veil just ut this
juncture is indicated by the remark credited
to Il. ~ Jewell: 81 have nothing TO say
about the strike | will greatly appreciate
IL If the newspapers will let us alone for a
couple OF days. We will have something
for you then, we hope.
Comment from other responsible sources
has been just about as enlightening as this
offering from the chief of the shopmen,
though several onterprising reporters for
the news services have contributed what
they, severaly, have extracted from re
liable hut unidentified, sources
& For the present, we shall have TO he con-
tent with assurances, on the authority of
nObody 'in particular" that an acceptable
plan OF settlement, or partial settlement. is
f n process of development with Chicago as
HE center Of operations. Despite The rather
general policy OF retiCence among those who

iteadiastnesS of others in denying that ne

figures in many walks OF life and industry

national capital will claim large share ot
attention because of the hearing OF coun-
gerinjunction proceedings by which the cleo
