to-day in his statement of the CASE tc

while the executives and the railroad
labor leaders are endeavoring to find
common ground for the return of the
men to work.
In giving their reasons for the hope
of a settlement In New York spokes-
men OF the shopmen declared that two
incidents of this week had materially
helped TO clear the actual situation con-
fronting the country. They pointed out
that the Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion's statement OF the condition OF roll

drawals of motive power from the roads
in the Immediate future indicated the
extent of the decentralization on the
roads. In the second place they expect
the settlement of the soft coal strike in
the heavier demands 1t will make or
equipment to make the executives more
conciliatory and more amenable to the
PRESSURE from general business.
1t is declared that business organiza-
tions. including the National Industrial
Council, which sympathized with the
standpat element among the executives
will not be SO intent on warfare now
that actual condition OF motive power
has been stated to the country, with the
consequent detection of men who are
not on strike.
The committee of five brotherhood
leaders which is to confer with the COM
mittee of executives headed by Il. DE

committee consists of Warren $. Stone.
president Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-

of Railway Trainnen; ID. 4. Robertson.
president Of the Brotherhood of Firemen

These five represent the transportation
group recognized by the executives and
to whom national recognition always
has been given. They constitute the
leaders of the powerful group. the group
has the capacity to make a strike go
either way. Bert NJ. Jewell. who direct
ed the strike for the seven federated
shop crafts, left here tonight but will
not take part in the conference in New
York.
The fight In the conference to-mor-
row. it was indicated, will center around
the question as to whether the execu-
tives are prepared to take back the
strikers and give them the status they
occupied on June 3. The original draft OF
the Harding agreement had this SPECIFIC
proposition.
On this basis the shopmen are stand i.

forces should be allowed to fight 1t out
interference. This group believes that
the Presidents attempts thus far to
bring the railroad shopmen and execu-
tiyes to an agreement have done more
harm than good. and that he should not
attempt anything further in that line
The President is inclined TO agree with
that view only to the extent that he
win not for the present offer any fur
ther suggestions to the railsoad shop
men and executives. But he is firmly
convinced that, whatever he may here
after do in that respect, 1t Is right for
him now to lay the whole situation bare
before the people, SO that they may know
what TO expect and be ready to act ac-
cordingly.
Despite the failure Of all the efforts
OF the Administration to settle the strike
of the railroad shopmen. which is gradu-
ally producing a condition OF semi
paralysis on the transportation systems,
there was a distinct feeling OF hopeful
ness here to-day that solution OF the
controversy would be found by the in
dependent conference of executives and
brotherhood representatives In New York
tomorrow.
Representatives of the brotherhoods
and of the shopmen declared that ave
nues are open. to settlement on which
both sides can lay down their weapons
without disgrace or the admission of de-
feat. While they asserted that the
brotherhood leaders left here to-day
without a proposition of any kind to
submit to the committee of executives
they indicated clearly that a "compro-
pcic
conference.
Developments of the last two days ap-
parently have led to a more conciliatory
attitude on the part of executives and
striking shopmen. While neither side is
ready to make any announcement Of
yielding point. it is freely admitted
that Cancellation and not "standpat-
ism" is the slogan with which the
brotherhood leaders will approach the
executives.
To-day there are signs and murmur-
ings and expressions of apprehension
lest the action of the President in put
ting the case before Congress might
affect the independent efforts OF the
parties to the controversy to get to-
gether While no one knew what the
President was likely to say as to the
cause OF the failure of his mediation
efforts, both parties felt that any at
tempt to place the responsibility could
only lead to bitterness and serve to pro-
long the demoralizng struggle.

day, he said, normal output and supply
would not return for weeks. Anthracite

to furnish adequate powers to the Fed

the plan Mr Hoover has tried to cstab-

the Federal Administration for equitable

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. d. g.. Aug. 1B.
Overtures by Senatorial promoters
of the SIS 900, ,000, 900 bonus raid for an
agreement limiting debate on the SUBJ
ject were promptly rejected by the
opposition this afternoon.
Back of the agreement plan pro-
posed by Republican Senate Whip Cur
tis to Senators opposed to the bonus
loomed the industrial crisis caused by
the railway and coal strikes. President
Harding caused 1t to be known at the
Capitol to-day that he would not re-
gard with favor any proposal to bring
up the bonus until after the vitality i'm
portant Industrial problems have been
met In announcing to Republican
Senator from middle Western State
his position in the matter, the Presi-
dent availcd himself of the opportunity
to emphasize his disapproval Of bonus
legislation under existing conditions.
The Senatorial caller was commits
stoned by sRepubican Senators who
still attach Importance to the political
influence OF the American Legion to
obtain suggestions which might help
make acceptable the McCumber bill,
which the President does not regard
with favor. He not only declined to
make any such suggestions regarding
the McCumber bill, but frankly in
formed the Senatorial bonus emissary
that he hoped the Senate would not
put the McCumber bill up to him at
any time.
Veto Is FOresecn.
The impression prevailed in the Sem
ate that the President clearly indicated
his firm determination to veto the Nc
Cumber measure whether 1t is passed
now or after the industrial crisis has
gone. This impression was supplemented
by the statement tnat the President had
admitted that the frenzy of Senators
seeking soldier votes to pass the Nc
Cumber bill at once would prove espe-
cially embarrassing to him under ex-
isting conditions.
The direct and reliable Information
as to the position of the White House
on the bonus scheme provoked the sup
porters of it to map out plan which
would be in accord with the Presidents
attitude and at the same time satisfy
the bonus Senators. There were two
prongs to this plan. The first was to
negotiate n deal with the bonus opposl-
tion to take recess for a week on Sat

bill. instead OF proceeding Immediately
