Opposition Seer
Through early settlements on
some lines, followed by subsequent
agreement with others not yet in
cluded among the willing roads,
there will probably be a gradul re-
turn to work, Mr.. Jewell said. He
admitted that the shopmen face
stubborn opposition from some roads
whose officials announced they were.
through with negotiations.
The shop crafts declined to en-
large upon yesterdays official an

separthe settlements was given by

ferences between Mr. Warfield, MI.
Jewell and Daniel Willard, president

HOOper's Statement
The proposal in the settlement

transportation act, Mr.. Hooper, of

The chairman's statement follows:

moral right and practical efficiency

theory of orderly procedure for the

railway industry. The decisions OF
the labor board stand unmodified by
the appeal to economic and physical
force.
