NEW YORK. Aug. "a Omitted
Press) Secret meetings between
certain railroad executives and rep
resentatives OF labor were being ar
ranged today, in the hope of bring
ing about partial settlement OF the
shopmen's strike.
The secret meetings were sought,
following collapse of the effort to
settle the strike on a national basis.
This breakdown came about when
the brotherhoods, acting as media
tors. demanded that strikers be re-
instated with full seniority rights
and the executives fatty refused.
The answer OF the striking shop
men 20 the roads challenge to a An
ish fight was conveyed to certain
carrier heads today.
Warren s. Stone and his fellow
mediators were closeted this morn
ing with Bert NJ. Jewsl, shopmen's
leader. They told him of the car
riers' rejection OF the suggestion that
men return TO work with the status
as OF June 80. Jewell gave them his
answer to this. and the big four"
chiefs left hurriedly and with as
much secrecy as possible, for what
they described as IAN unknown
destination"
It was believed they were carry
ing the last word from Jewell to
some Of the Presidents, II not to a
committee representing the full
meeting
Jewell after the meeting. stated
to the United Press he had no fur
ther word for the public at present.
I'VE have accepted the challenge"
he said. referring to the roads vote
for a fat mo" on the seniority pro-
possls OF the big four" mediators |
II the secret meetings are held. |
he result may be negotiation OF |
peace between certain OF
he roads and their striking shop
nen.
However, Jewell stated that there
would be no separate peace.
This was the rail peace mediation
,lan offered by the brotherhoods in
he conference yesterday and which
vas turned down:
l. Reinstatement OF all strikers.
Except those found guilty OF per-
acts OF violence, to their
Ttatus as OF June 80. 1922.
2, No intimidation 10 be used
lgainst the men when they -eturn.
3. In case OF disputes OF the
ItandIng OF individual carriers, the
United States Railroad Labor Board
5 TO decide the issue.
The reply OF the executives:
Use of the word "reinstate" goes
10 the root OF the differences be-
ween us.
The minority of rail executives
known as the conciliatory group.
went into conference with the big
four brotherhood leaders shortly
before noon.
Previous to this. the brotherhood
chiefs had a preliminary confer
ence among themselves.

gress and administration circles as
the result OF their rejection OF the
brotherhoods' peace proposal is that
a majority of the rail executives
want TO fight the strike to a finish in
the belief that the power OF the rail-
road unions can be destroyed.
The one ray OF hope in the situa-
tion today is the possibility OF sepa-
rate peace agreements by certain
roads with the strikers. some off,
cials believing the strike could be
ended gradually in this manner. just
as the coal walkout is now being ter
minated.
It is probable that no new moves
will be made by the Government
pending the result OF possible ne
gotiauons in New York between
the heads of few roads and the
brotherhood leaders. Deterioration of
equipment making continued oper-
alton difficult is said to have caused
these roads TO adopt a more concili-
atory attitude.
Meanwhile, It will be more clearly
within the next week
whether the roads will be able to
prevent a serious breakdown in
transportation necessitating forceful
by the Federal Gov
srnment.
The Government has drawn plans
or any emergency. II some roads
'ail to function these could be taxi
IN over and operated under receiv-
RS appointed by the Federal Courts.
Plans for seizure of all the roads |
rave been tentatively framed, but |
Is has been repeatedly stated. such |
| procedure is contemplated only |
ls a last resort.
