the men on the question at issue.
neither the labor board nor its mem
bers are now engaged In any further
efforts along that line the state
ment said.
At the same time the statement
pointed out that virtual agreement
had been reached between the rail
heads and the strike leaders on all
Of the five points in dispute except
that OF the return of the strikers
Of their seniority rights-a question
which was not originally not in dis
pute between the roads and their
men.
No Further Conferences.
Railway executives. through the
western presidents committee on
public relations of the association OF
railway executives issued a state
ment Wednesday cOrroborating
Chairman Hooper's statement that
no further peace conferences were
being held and that the seniority -
sue was the principal stumbling
block
There are now no conferences in
progress looking 10 a settlement OF
the shop crafts strike" the execu-
tive's statement said Chairman
Hooper Of the labor board has held
Informal conferences with some rail
road executives but these have had

boards decisions, should withdraw
from this practice. This applied 10

Word was received here this morn
ing that the West Virginia univer.
slty wrestling squad which left

ever taken by a Mountaineer OUT

squad from Richards, the lis
FOUNDER to "Leaping Joe" Harrlck,
the Varsity heavyweight. were in
tho best of shape. Tonight the
Noun aineers will go against the
Iowa State grapplers In what
promises to be one of the hardest
matches on their 1922 schedule.
The wrestlers seemed to hive
escaped the ink that has been fol-
lowing the Varsity and Freshmen

and should be able to do their best

Mcdonald and Joe Harrick are
both good men, but they have not
taken TO the game as readily as
other members OF the squad and
are not near so dependable or re

here because it will give local fans
a chance to ascertain tho real
strength of Coach Dayton's pro. g
ges.
