Ned Sims, who is linotype
operator In The Wheeling Intelli-

with Samuel B. Montgomery on
his speaking trip through Mercer.
The boss don't know I'm even
on his trail" said Mr.. Sims. for
he hasn't seen me for the last
three months. but II was just this
way:
When | heard that reports were
being put out by clique Of politi-
cal propagandists that Mr.. Ogden
was not a friend Of labor. l Just
threw my work apron in the corner
OF the print shop and struck out
with my friend. Mr.. Montgomery.
I'm Democrat, but when !
heard these reports I had the
registrar 10 mark me up as Re-
publican and then hit the road for
Mr. Ogden.
I've worked on The Wheeling

RArI EXECUTIVES AND UNION

Jewell, head Of the shop crafts and his
international presidents hurrying back
to Chicago after conferences with Mr..
Harding, the fourth week OF the walk
out ended tonight while both executives
and union heads Viewed enthusiastically
tho possibility Of an early settlement.
Seniority apparently has been the
great stumbling block in peace nego-
tiations conducted for the past two
weeks through Chairman Ben w. Hoop
or OF the railroad labor board. Presi-
dent Harding. according 10 those claim
ing TO know Of hts suggestion. has three
proposals on this issue, one that strtk-
ers return to work with seniority unin-
paired, one that men who remained 1t
work, ranked above strikers in senior
ity and the third that each road adjust
seniority through joint committees.
Contract Work Adjusted
While rail executives and union lead
ers showed no open inclination TO re-
cede from their positions on seniority. II
generally was conceded that wages and
working rules disputes. two OF the strike
issues. would be settled by tho labor
work. the third issue on which the shop
men struck. has, according 10 the board.
already been adjusted on practically all
railroads.
There was considerable speculation
on both sides as TO what disposition
would be made OF the unions request
for national adjustment boards to de-
eide disputes. Regional adjustment
boards have been suggested In labor
board circles as compromise.
Separate agreements between the
strikers and the individual railroads the
other plan to end the walkout which has
been most considered since the an
nouncement several days ago that the
labor board had ceased its peace er-
forts. received a setback today when
the striking shopmen OF the Baltimore

railroads proposal for settlement.
