Fioht to A Finish

Washington, August S.-President Harding's latest proposal to settle the railroad shopmen's strike yester- day failed within a few hours after it was presented and the country now faces the prospect of a general railroad tie-up.
 The Presidents proposal that the shopmen return to work, that the railroad operators assign them work, and that both sides submit the issue of seniority to the Railroad Labor Board, met with instant and determined opposition on the part of the shopmen's leaders.
 It was answered promptly by the issuance of call for general conference of all the railroad labor organizations, to be held in Wash ington Friday, for the purpose of adopting measures to make the shop mems strike more effective.

Court Rules That Strikers Did Not Violate Fed eral Injunction as
 Was Charged.
Especial to The Daily Press. )


 Little Rock, Aug. S.-Charges of contempt of court against 29 strik- ing Missouri Pacific employees at Hoxie, were dismissed by Judge Frank Youmans of Fort Smith in United States District Court here yesterday. The court held that the evidence failed to show that the men had attempted to intimidate railroad employees or to interfere with them in the performance of their duty.
 The court order followed a lengthy hearing before Judge Youmans, who presided, in the absence of Judge Jacob Trieber, in which the defend ants sought to prove that they. had not violated the terms of the tenn porary injunction issued by Judge Trieber last month restraining all striking employees from molesting men in the railroad employ
 W. G. Padgett, chairman of the Hoxie branch of the International Machinists and Allied Shopcrafts, was the principal witness for the defense. He said that he had been instrumental in urging the four section mon employed in inspecting the main line track to return to work, as a means of protecting the public and in securing the consent of the local union to permit the four men to resume their work.
 Padgett said that at the time of the walkout, A. F. Riss, roadmaster of the railroad at Hoxie, asked him to allow the men to return to work inspecting the main line track and that he used lis personal influence to induce four Of the men to return. These men, he said, were chosen by seniority with9 the consent of the union, and were: w. R. Millsapp,

 To Complete Tie-Up By this plan the strike leaders hope to bring about complete stag nation of the entire railroad trans portation system of the country.
 That the Presidents plan would be rejected and that the other railroad unions would respond promptly to the shopmen's call for effective support, was believed to be q foregone conclusion following a long conference between the shop mems chiefs and the Washington representatives of three of the Big Four" brotherhoods.
 When the president saw the shop mems representatives at the White House yesterday morning, he told 'HcH IHdC lhio Wdo HID ldot elloi 10 bring about settlement of the strike.

Plan Means Surrender

New York. August S.--Assertion that President Harding's new pro posal for ending the rail strike would seem "to demand a complete surrender" of the position of the railway presidents as stated last Tuesday, was made by L. F. Force, chairman of the Eastern president s conference. at the close of an infor- nal meeting late yesterday.
 Force emphasized, however, that he was expressing merely "a personal opinion" and was not speaking for the conference. He also insisted that the conference which preceded the statement, was purely informal, and that no decision had been reached.
 Robert S. Binkerd, assistant to T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives. said that every. consideration would be given President Harding's latest proposal for settlement of the shop mems strike, but declined to indi- cate how he believed it would be received by the railroad heads.
 The heads of 14S American rail- ways, which last week rejected Hard ing's first program for settlement of the nationwide rail strike, pro bably will be asked to reconvene within four days to consider the latest proposals which the White House has addressed to railroad officials and strikers.
