LITTLE DOUBT CONCERNING
 ACCEPTANCE OF COMPROMISE

Washington. July 31 CBy the A. P0- Convinced that the rail strike would be g matter of history within twenty-four hours after acceptance by railway shop men and transportation chiefs of Presi- dent Harding's compromise plan, all of the governments influence was muster sd tonight behind the effort to obtain adoption by the employers meeting in New York and that of the employees in Chicago tomorrow.
 Chairman Hooper. of the railroad la bor board. after a conference with Pres dent Harding today. left for Chicago to be- on hand when the meeting is called 'f the general policy committee of the striking shop craft unions. Secretary Hoover left tonight to attend the New York meeting of the executives
 There was little doubt in administra- hon circles concerning acceptance by the znion leaders Of the proposed compro- mise settlement. Several rail executives, however. are known to hold strong ob- lection because of their belief that it would entail abandonment of new em- oloyes who ignored strong Inducements not to accept employment during the emergency

De- ritt Cuver, chairman Of the executives association. and Vice President Alter bury. of the Pennsylvania. representa- lives o< an influential group in the man. tgemsnt side of the rail controversy. Vould vote for acceptance.
