SOUTHERN TO MEET

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. e.-Na.
''"hai interest In the railway shop
mems strike centers IN tho ncgotia-
t!ons which Will open here tomorrow
between the officials Of the So,,the,,
Railway and the shopmcn OF the
southern lines. The conferenc. was
TO have begun Saturday. hut. owing
TO the delayed arrival OF some OF the
strikers representatives, il was most
poncd over until Monday.
The Southern Railway. not being n
member OF the Hallway Executives
Association, has felt at liberty TO go
ahead and make separate settle
mcnt with its men, independent of
the other large railways OF the coun-
try.
As basis OF settlement. the Of
hcials have publicly offered 10 accep;
the proposals of President Harding.
including that calling for n restora-
ton of seniority rights to the strik-
ers. which was the stumbling block
on which the members of the execu-
tives association refused to indorse
the plan.
Discussing tho Southern Railway
proposals tonight Mr.. Jewell. spokes-
man for the strik crs. declared that
the question of separate peace with
the Southern Railway was up TO the
men themselves to determine. The
general policy committee of the shop
craft unions had decided, he said. that
individual settlements might be made
upon the terms proposed by Prcsi.
dent Harding.
This is an important reversal o.
policy since the separate negotiations
that were carried on two weeks age
between the Baltimore and Ohio and
Its men. At that time, evidently in
expectation that the President would
force n national agreement, the gem
eral policy committee declined 20 sane
ton a separate agreement with tn"
Baltimore and Ohio.

L. resume with President Harding to-
1lorrow the negotiations for strike
settlement. which were rcopcucd on
Saturday. There was in the mean
time a gathering OF general chair
nan OF the strike organizations on
several of the Eastern railroad sys-
toms. chiefly rlach!nists' rcOrcscnta-
tivcs. who reported on existing con-
ditions and discussed strike policy
':ith the national leaders.
Nothing was Forthcoming from the
White House concerning the possible
Icw NEGOTIATIONS which might result
between railroad executives and
President Harding in furthcrancc Of
the settlement attempts. In spite OF
the refusal OF the rond manasements
10 accept President HardinE's request
that all strikers be reinstatcd with
fun seniority. In consideration of
calling off the strike. II is known that
paths OF communication between the
administration and the moro promi-
ncnt railroad heads remain complete
ly open, members OF the Senate and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
being at all times In contac; with
persons most concerned. Union rep
rescntativcs remained firm in the
opinion that President Harding would
not ask them to compromise further
on seniority points. and held out the
impression that they had gone to tho
limit In accepting his original ofrer.
and profcssed complete ignorance as
to what his reconsideration of the
problem might develop. The union
leaders expect other railroad unions
not on strike TO follow up the pro-
gram OF making representations to
the President. concerning tho bad
condition into which they claim the
strike has put railroad rolling stock.
This was begun Saturday by lcEiSla-
