WASHINGTON. July 31.-(By the Associated Press) = Convinced that the railroad strike would be a matter of history within 24 hours after ac-, ceptance by railway shopmen and transportation chiefs of President Harding's compromise plan. all of the governments influence was mastered tonight behind the effort to obtain adoption by the employers, meeting in New York and that of the employees in Chicago, tomorrow.
 Chairman Hooper of the labor board after conference with President Harding today, left for Chicago to be on hand when the meeting is called of the general policy committee of the striking shopcraft unions. Sec retary Hoover left tonight to attend the New York meeting of the execu- tives.
 There was little doubt in admfnis- tration circles concerning acceptance by the union leaders of the proposed compromise settlement Several rail- road executives, however, are known to hold strong objection because of their belief that it would entail aban- donment of new employees who have stuck through the strike, as we'll as new men who ignored strong induce ment not to accept employment dur ing the emergency.
 At the same time, the sticking point in the whole attempt to negotiate a settlement the seniority rights so- called, continued to protrude in every conversation and public statement of the leaders concerned, with as much awkwardness as ever, even consider ing the presidents suggestions for its compromise.
 On the union side, it was held by such spokesmen for the organization as were still waiting the progress of events here. that no settlement would be made by the organization unless it took care of all their men.
