Question OF Time Now For Settlement.

have been to date cannot be reveal
ed. it was said by labor spokesman
who confirmed the fact that nego
tiations are once more under way.
Nor would they reveal the identity
Of the railway executives concerned,
lcther than to describe them as
'moderates" who have been hard
hit by the nine weeks strike of the
shop crafts.
An important meeting Of the
strike leaders was held in Balti-
more yesterday, it was learned to-
day by the international News Ser,
vice.
This meeting follows two DAYS

Jewell, national director Jewell
checked out Of the Emerson Hotel
Tuesday. On Wednesday the presi-
dents Of the six striking shopcrafts
went to Baltimore engaged a pri-
yate room at the Emerson and held
la five hour session, beginning short
!y after noon and continuing until
six 2. m.
Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and q recognize
ed moderate" among the execu.
tives, will likely be the first ap.
preached. After FIVE hour strike
conference. the strike leaders scat
tered to various destinations last
night, preparatory to the meetings
LOT the strikers and railroad execu-
tives.
In addition to the presidents of
the six striking shop crafts, E. H
Fitzgerald, head of the Order of
Railway Clerks, part of whose or
ganizstion went out on an unau-
thorized strike with the shopmen.
The strike leaders asserted today
that the "challenge' of Attorney
General Harry NJ. Daugherty, would
be without permanency. They
pointed out that the strikers policy
committee has been summoned to
Chicago early next week for the
very purpose of being on hand
Meantime. it became known today
that the executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor, will
meet IN Washington instead Of in
Atlantic City on next Saturday to
canvass sentiment for general
strike in retaliation for the drastic
Daugherty injunction.
There is little likelihood Of any
general strike but if Judge Wilker-
son makes his temporary restrainin Z
order permanent in its present form,
it is likely there will be a concert
ed protest from all of organized Ia
Dor.
This protest may take the form
of strike of all labor for one day
TO express the bitter resentment
that organized labor feels towards
the governments action.
