SURPRISE FACTORS
 ENTER INTO RAIL
 STRIKE SITUATION
Steel Corporations Wage h. crease May Have Bearing Upon Negotiations--Lo
 Is PeSSimiStic
By Aasocintn,i prnna

New York, August 22.-Four sur prise factors entered into the rail strike situation today, any one of which, according to representative of roads and brotherhoods, may vitally influence the action of the Associa- tion of Railway Executives when it meets tomorrow to consider peace proposals for mediation with the five brotherhoods. They were:
 1. The announcement that tho
 presidents of three powerful
 eastern roads, Samuel Req of the
 Pennsylvania, E. E. L0omis of
 the Lchigh Valley and William
 Besler of the Jersey Central,
 were expected to arrive from
 Europe on the Majestic in time to
 participate in the conference of
 the association of railway ex-
 ecutives.
 2. Grant by three large steel
 corporations of n 20 per cent i'm
 crease wage to their several hun-
 dred thousand day laborers.
 2. Assertions by l.. F. LOree,
 president of the Delaware nnd
 Hudson. and chairman of the
 Eastern President's conference,
 that predictions of n strike set-
 tlement and peace In the indus
 try were "nIl bunk.n
 4. Announcement thst several
 brotherhood chiefs are en route
 from the west with practical
 proposals for settlement of the
 shop crafty strike, which they
 will submit to rail executives sf
 all other peace advances fail.
 Heads of the railway executives .e- fuse to comment on the unexpected arrival of the three eastern prest- dents. Their return on the same boat, and in the midst of the present crisis, was admittedly signficar:, however. especially since their ye- spective vice presidents have been the nucleus of the group which, in the conference of the national as- sociation, has consistently fought against any peace plan which in- cluded reinstatement of strikers with seniority rights unlmpaired.
 Favors Strikers
 The decision of tEe steel corpora tions to raise the wages of laborers, announced just 24 hours proir to the scheduled meeting of the executives, was hailed by the strikers as a point in their favor. It not only justified their refusal to accept wage cuts fixed by the railroad labor board, they said, but was ample proof of an impending industrial boom which would put the railroads. with their thousands of bar order cars, more than ever in need of their old repair forces.
 This wage increase will put con siderable fire in the veins of rail- I cad labor" declared David Williams, secretary of the eastern stike com mittee "The railroad man6 will find it hard to understand why he should get s2T5 day when he could get s4 for the same work in the steel mills.
 If the railroads don't settle with the shopmen, 1t will be doubly diff cult for them to hold the unskilled crafts in line"
 Rail heads refrained from discuss Ing the possible effects of the steel move on rail strike nego- tiations. They were. nevertheless quick to offer numerous reasons why the steel industry should grant their men a raise at this critical stage. RAIL SITUATION IN

AUGUSTA GIRL SCOUTS
MAKE GIFTS TO CHARITY

A meeting of the Augusta Girl
Scouts was held Thursday afternoon
at the Y. NJ. c. A, at which time
the matter of the disposal of the
money belonging to the troop was
discussed. There was nearly $3.50
in the bank belonging to the troop
and as the troop is to be diSbanded
after about a. year of inactivity, this
money must necessarily be ta,.en care
of.
1t was decided to use the money
to purchase some articles of equip
ment needed by the Y. Y. Q. A.,
the Augusta General hospital and the
Salvation Army. About 500 will be
used for the Y. NJ. c. A., the same
amount for the Augusta General
hospital. and about $50 for the Sal
walton Army.
For the past year the troop has
been without a leader and So the
meeting was called by Mrs. Lester
Howard who organized the troop,
four years ago. Mrs. Howard was
troop leader for some time ind in
1927, Miss Helen Tracy, of the Cony
faculty was the leader. Since she
gave up this work. they have been
unable to find q leader.
During the war this troop earned
enough money to support two French
orphans for two years. They also
did large amount of war work. The
work which they did can be estimat-
ed by the fact that after SUI orting
the two orphans for two years, they
still have nearly $3.50 to be given to
worthy causes in this city.

Modern warships in this country and
in England and Japan, which were al
ready building and marked for de-
struction by international agreement,
are being held ready for completion

about the action which the American
people considered final. and in which
they have taken such deep satisfac-
ton. The House appropriations COM

parting estimates for the next fiscal
year, it is to provide for reduced
