UP TO LABOR BOARD
At the end of the meeting and be-
fore departing for Washington, MIR.
Davis expressed the belief that the
strike could be settled at once If
the roads would restore the senior
ity rights of the strikers, and the
labor board would take up the ques
tions in dispute.
In discussing the hopes of settle
ment, members of the labor board
reviewed the progress of the strike
since its inception July I. They
pointed out that the strike vote
which preeipitated the country wide
walkout was taken on three ques
tions. These grievances were given
in a strike bulletin issued on July
z, by Mr.. Jewell, which said; "The
present strike centers around these
issues:
81 establishment of unjust wages by
decisions of the United States labor
board.
''2. Establishment 70 unjust working
conditions which curtailed overtime pay
allowed under government operation.
SO. Contracting out of shop work to
ievade the application of the law as pro-
vided by the transportation act"

NO VACATION
FOR HARDING
THIS WEEK
Stays in the White House to
Keep in Touch With Strike
Situation.
NUMEROUS REPORTS
OF FURTHER STEPS
BY THE GOVERNMENT
Says Every Possible Conting-
ency Has Been Canvassed by
President.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The govern
ment's future course in the situation
created by the strike of railroad shop
crafts was still left in the realm of con-
lecture today though President Harding,
who was in personal touch all day Sat-
urday with the problem and personali-
ties in it, cancelled his week -end en-
gagements to stay at the White House
Sunday, where he could be. in close COM
munication with whatever other govern
ment agencies were, active.
May Stand Firm.
Whether Chairman Hooper of the rail-
road labor board, who returned to Chi
cago last night after an extended con-
ference with Mr.. Harding carried news
and highly confidential instructions for
a reopening of negotiations with the un-
ion leaders, or whether the administra-
tion intended to stand unyieldingly by
the labor board award against which the
men who struck, were matters concern
ing which were not confirmed and no re-
sponsible person in Washington would
talk. t.
Hint at New Steps.
While there were numerous reports that
q new step by the gssA1musM was ifn-
EI1lH6Hl, IHSSO "0Fe ultSEAy WAAHOuI Ol1A-
cial confirmation, the only definite de-
velopment today touching upon the rail-
road strike being in its relation to that
in the coal industry.
Every possible contingency in connec-
ton with the rail situation has been can
vassed by President Harding In his con-
ferences with advisers in the cabinet and
with mem -rs of the senate. 1t was un-
derstood, the suggestions placed before
the government including even federal
control both Of r ilroads and mines as a
step to be conGidered in the final emerg-
ency.
Wear Itself.
Other suggestions were said to have
been that the strike be left to wear itself
out, the government maintaining policy
of protecting interstate commerce mean
while; that labor representatives be
charged in court proceedings with con-
spiracy to interrupt interstate commerce
and finally that railroad arrangements be
required to yield on the seniority rule
while the railroad labor board be induced
to modify some of the conclusions against
which the shop crafts have struck.
Supported Hooper.
| To date every White House pronounce
ment has been of nature supporting
the railroad labor board and the actions
| of Chairman Hooper. Opinion that any
modification Of this attitude was intend
! ed lacked official support tonight.

EN matt Coal ASSOCIATION ASKS HARDING TO HURRY FACT The FINDING COMON
Hope of Strike Settlement
Again Rests With the Labor
Board By Efforts of DaUis
Both Sides Awaiting Action Hooper After Chicago
Following Meet With Harding and Davis.

Hooper after ten days of conferences with
rail heads and strike leaders, issued a
statement giving the striking shopmen's s
program as five points instead of the
original three, and asserted it was one
of the two supplemental points-that of
the restoration Of seniority rights added
only after the Inauguration of the strike
that then stood in the way of settle
ment. He listed the five demands in the
following order:
THE FIVE POINTS
"1. Abolition Of the contract system.
"2. Establishment OF national ad-
justment board.
49,. RehearIng Of the wages and rules
dispute by the labor board
a.. Roads to dismiss all law suits
growing out of the strike.
"5.. Restoration Of seniority rights
to the strikers"
Mr. Hooper asserted that his investiga-
tions had convinced him that mo serious
obstacle is to be found to peace" in any
of the points except the fifth.
Further progress was seen in the state
ment issued last night by Mr.. Jewell,
however, in which he said: There are
possible settlement of the railway con-
troversy which are found in the refusal
of the railway executives:
a.. To discontinue contracting out
OF work.
az. To establish a national board OF
adjustment.
"s. To continue seniority rights Of
employees who suspend work"
1t was pointed out that the last list OF
demands contained only one of the orig
mai three grievances q q resulted N
the strike caIl--th
- ~, was indicated thatN st every road
in the country already had agreed to stop
this practice. ,.s.
The omission of the original demands
relating to wages and rules occasoned
some comment, the belief beng expressed
that the shoprnen finally had decided TO
ogrea to a rehearng of these points by
the labor board.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 23.-President
Harding was urged to appoint immed-
lately a non-partisan fact finding tri-
bunal, to inquire into the coal situa-
alton, in telegram sent him tonight
by A. M. Ogle, president of the Ma

The president announced the econsid-

Could Act Quickly
Such a tribunal, if appointed inn
mediately, could develop within com

telegram, as would strengthen your
hand in carrying out your program to

your proclamation to the governors of

the deliberations of the tribunal
in order that there may be no mis-
understanding in the minds of the mem

minds of the public concerning the at

your Washington conference, toward the
appointment of a fact-flnding tribunal by
you, respectfully and strongly urge upon
you the adyisability of Immediately Sc
lecting the men whom you desire to act
so that the tribunal can proceed at once
to investigate the questions at issue be-
tween the miners and operators in the
union fields. AS we have pointed out
before, we strongly feel that this tribu-
nal should be non-partisan WITHOUT either
miners or operators being included in its
membership.
