Chicago. Sept. S--Leaders In the

to meet in Chicago today prelimi-
nary to the conference OF the shop
mems policy committee Monday.
Daniel Willard. president of the
Baltimore and Ohio. arrived here
secretly and went into conference
with a half dozen western road ex-
ecutives.
Bert NJ. Jewell, president OF the
shopmen. was expected today. Jew
ell has been mysteriously absent
since the Daugherty injunction was
granted.
II was believed that Willard and
Jewell would confer.
Willard, who has been leader In
the individual agreement PROPOSE
tion since early in the strike, con-
ferred with w. II. Finley, president
of the Chicago and Northwestern;
Hale Holden, president of the Bur

Jewell upon his arrival will go
into immediate session with his
executive committee which is per-
fecting plans for the policy meeting

Despite the persistent rumors OF
peace rail executives generally con-
tinued to deny that they were en-
tering into any agreements with the
shopmen.
President A. II. Smith Of the New
York Central, and President Finley
of the Northwestern, denied they
were prepared to make separate
agreements. These two roads were
reported leaders in the latest peace
move.
Both declared they had not been
represented at any conference with
strike leaders and denied they had
any knowledge Of the alleged terms
of settlement.
The terms, as reported, provide
for small wage increase and the
restricted gesurn Of seniority rights.
Because of continued denial by
many rail executives of participa-
tion in a new peace proposal, it was
indicated that only a minority OF
the carriers were planning to give

any knowledge of the peace move
are:
