Rail Strike
Situation

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July Is. The
third week Of the railway shopmen's
strike opened today with peace ne
gotiations practically at a standstill
following yesterdays separate con-
ferences between the rail executives,
union heads and railroad board men,
bers when the differences were des-
cribed as fundamental"
The western carriers tonight is
sued virtual ultimatum to the strik-
ers, asserting that they will not
agree to any plan inconsistent with
the decisions Of the Labor Board,
and will not confer with the strikers
while the walkout continues.
A statement issued BY the presi-
dents committee on public rcla-
tions placed responsibility for con-
tinuance Of the strike on the strike
leaders and apparently left but one
course open for settlement.
The executives, the statement said,
"are perfectly willing to attend any
meeting or to participate in any hear
ing called BY the Labor Board with
view Of effecting settlement that
would not nullify but uphold and
carry out the Boards decisions.
Virtually abandoning hope of an
early settlement, many roads, accord
ing to Labor Board official, are
preparing TO make a determined eff
forts to reopen their shops the first
Of the week with non-union cnt-
lloYeS.
