tAssociated Press Dispatch. ]

The Hague, July 13.-Actual dis
solution of The Hague conference
on Russian affairs probably cannot
take place before tomorrow, as the
session of the sub commits sion on
credits has been postponed until
then and no meeting is planned for
today between the Russian and Non
Russian delegates.
Meanwhile, experts representing
the countries which have tried to
reach an agreement with the So
vets are holding meetings for the
discussion of their final stand on
the question of foreign owned prop
erty in Russia confiscated by the
soyiets, about which all the miner
differences center.
Make Train Reservations
MANY of the delegates have made
train reservations for tomorrow or
Saturday. Both Russians and Non
Russians are so firm in their re-
spective stands 1t seems unlikely
any formula can be evolved TO save
the conference.
The Non Russians seem inclined
to break up the meeting In parlla :,
mentary way. Litvinoff the chief
Russian delegate, has been SO pre-
cipftate in his methods the en-
tente group has been unable to sof-
ten the abruptness of the clashes
tand pave the way for a peaceful
ending.

activities, which. loomed large or
the strike horizon yesterday, slump
ed perceptibly today while rail exc
cutives, union leaders and railroad
labor board members awaited the
next angle of development.
Chairman Hooper of the board
was in private conference with
railroad presidents again ! today,
however, following the nat refusal
of committee from the carriers
yesterday to, talk to the strikers so
long as they remain away from the
shops. Mr.. Hooper declined to dis
cuss his future plans but B. M.
Jewell, president of the shopmen,
still maintained a hopeful attitude.
The strike leader declined he be-
lieved the roads would soon relent
and get down to business with the
strikers representatives.
A telegram to President Harding,
signed by President Jewell and the
six international shop unions now
on strike. sought to summarize the
shop workers grievances and was
sent in reply to the White House
proclamation issued Tuesday. The
