moralization was shown in Germanex-

would be carried out. Union shopmen
who did not strike would be placed
at the head of the railroads seniority
list. which means that they would be
assured Of permanent work since in
slack times the workers at the foot of
the lists are the first to be laid off.
Union shopmen who went on strike
would be placed next on the Lists and
after them would come the men hired
by the roads since the strike began.
Western railroads have been insist
ent that men now at work should be
placed at the head of seniority lists,
asserting that If their rights were not
thus recognized there would be no in
centive for men TO stay at work in the
event OF strike in the future.
Also included in the presidents plan
II Is understood, was elimination of
outside contract repair work by the
railroads.
The wage question would be left to
the labor board. the striking shopmen
to recognize the boards wage reduc-
ton decision and return to work with
the assurance that their case would
receive prompt attcntion by the board.
In addition the administration is un-
derstocd TO have assured the shopmen

FRANK MORAN AND BECKETT FIGHT IN
 LONDON TONIGHT

London, Oct. 12-Two battered veterans of the prize ring will meet here tonight. They are Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, Pa., former aspirant for the worlds heavyweight championship and Joe Beckett of England. Beckett is a seven to five favorite in the bet ting.
 Moran has been in training at Maidenhead. He has made an occas- iona1 trip into London to proclaim to the whole world that he is in tip top condition and will be out to win this evening.
 Moran said if he won he would challenge Battling Xiii, the negro who recently knocked out Georges Car pentier in Paris.
 Joe Beckett has done his training at Southampton and has kept away from London and the pubs.
 Moran has defeated Beckett in the ring before, but the Englishman is favored in the odds this time because of reports of Moran's cratic system of training.
