Republican Leaders Appar-
emily Breakdown On Ad-

Rail Union Officials Gather to Out
line Campaign to Abolish Rail La.
b0r Board-COngress in Favor OF
Allowing Board TO Remain.

Washington, Nov. 19-Ar apparent
back down on the administrations
program of railroad legislation, men
tioneL as one Of the main questions
before the winter session of congress
was noticeable among Republican
leaders here today.
This sudden shift of sentiment came
significantly on the eve of the meet
inc here today of several railroad un-
ion officials for the avowed purpose
of outlining a campaign for abolish
ing the railroad labor board.
Indication of the let-up of the ad
ministration's drive for railroad leg
slation was given by Senator Cum
mins, Of Iowa, chairman of the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Committee,
who said today that he had no hope of
securing its enactment this winter
on account Of the pressure Of other
business"
lie made this announcement after
q protracted conference with Presi-
dent Harding in which there was a
detailed discussion Of the proposed
legislation, which is designed to in
iect teeth" into the transportation
act by providing an anti-strike clause
and other amendments aimed at
strengthening the board.
The conference Of railroad labor
officials today was called for the pur-
pose of considering further measur-
es for bringing pressure to bear on
members of congress toward abOli-
lion of the board. In view of the ap-
parent abandonment Of the admins
tration's program, the conference
will probably devote It's attention to
n positive campaign OF initiating leg
islation to meet its aims.
An Informal poll Of both houses al
ready made by II. h. Wills, assistant
grand chief of the brotherhood Of To-
comotive engineers, discloses about a
dozen senators and about one-third OF
the house in favor of abolition, he de-
clared today.
Consideration of plans for securing
co-operation between the machlnsts
group and the brotherhoods in carry
ING out of the abolition campaign will
also be undertaken at the meeting to-
day.
Besides local legislative agents Of
railroad brotherhoods and other un-
ION officials, Warren S. stone, chief
of the brotherhood of locomotive en-,
gineers and y. b. Robertson, head OF
the fremen and enginemen, were pres
ont at the meeting today.
