WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-ris.plo
activities here in the ran strike
situation were confined today Il n
continuation of the mediation efforts
of the chairman OF the big four
brotherhood organizations in whose
hands the striking shop crafts ave
placed their case.
These chairman again went into
conference with representatives OF the
striking unions bat what the next de.
velopment would DO was still purely
a matter OF speculation.
The only hint as TO what might be
expected come from L. E.. Sheppard.
president of the conductors brother.
hood. and spokesman for the entire
group OF union cn:efs. who said one
of the matters to be considered today
would be whether the labor men would
ask for q further conference with all
the executives or to meet a committee.
There was no intimation Of what pro.
posals would be made IL n meeting is
arranged.
Another matter in which a decislch
might come today also. according 10
Mr.. Sheppard. was that OF h release
of the shop crafts reply to President
Harding, which previously had been
declared n rejection OF his proposal to
have the whole matter of seniority
rights referred to the labor board for
determination.
The raj strike situation. It was
also expected. would occupy a great
deal of the time OF the cabinet session
today but there had been no indication
that the administration planned any
further move pending some action by
one Of the two ~contending factions in
the strike.
