CHICAGO, July 29.-The publication of the three proposals of President Harding to end the rail strike has caused the feeling of confidence con- cerning an early end of the strike to gain new strength. There has been resurgence of optimism and it is now freely predicted that the conference table stage of the controversy has been reached at last. As the strike entered this morning on it's fifth week. it was felt that peace was in prospect. Many officials of the railroad did not hesitate to express their opinion that next week would see the long hoped for resumption and moving ahead to- wards normal transportation condi- tions. The President is planning to have separate meetings with the rail executives and the strikers represen- tatives in order that there may be freedom of discussion and no holding back of real points of view. This plan is regarded as almost certain to end the strike. It is believed here that D. B. Jewell, head of the strikers, will recommend favorable action and while the rail executives attitude on the se- niority issue is still in doubt, yet it | felt that the obstacle is far from in- surmountable.
