CHICAGO WALKS TO WORK
Thousands Use Emergency Transport
in Getting to Daily Tasks.

Chicago-Twenty thousand motor
men, conductors and guards on surface
and elevated are on strike and the
greater part of the working portion of
Chicago's nearly three million persons
was forced to seek improvised trans
portation.
As usual all rolling stock available,
including every variety of wheeled,
pullable, pushable or motorized vehi-
Gle, was inadequate and the brunt of
the traffic fell on ''shanks' mare"
Thousands started early afoot and
from well before dawn streets and
avenues leading to the business and
manufacturing districts seethed with
pedestrians Streets in the down
town district with the calling of the
strike automatically became one-way
thoroughfares. But even that action
by the police department was not
enough to avoid tangled jams of traf
fic, once the honking, shouting horde
of motor car drivers began pouring
their steady streams of workers into
the business center

WHY LIBRARIANS LIKE JOB
Transformation of Book Titles in
Memories of Readers.

The scholastic hush of the public

but the librarianettes in the central
circulation department have steady
refuge from hard work in the COM

tons of book titles that take place in
the memories of seekers for literary
sweetness and light Herewith Is the
latest unofficial bulletin, according to
New York Sun writer:

OF course it's a pardonable slip TO
ask for GalswOrthy's "For Rent" when

SENIORITY STOPS
RAILROAD PEACE
White House Plan to Reinstate
Workers Declared I'm
possible.

New York-Railway executives OF
the nation firmly but courteously re-
jected the program advanced by the
Harding administration for settlement
Of the rail strike.
Willing to accept conditionally two
suggestions put forward by Hard
ing-that both sides abide by wage
decisions of the Railroad Labor board
and that law suits springing out of the
strike be withdrawn-the heads of 14S
roads declared emphatically that it
was impossible to reinstate strikers
with unimpaired seniority rights, the
third provision in the Presidents
plan.
President Harding's letter said in
part: These are the terms of agree
ment, as l understand them, upon
which the railway manager and uni
ted shop craft workers, are to agree,
preliminary to calling off the existing
strike
President Harding closed his letter
with these two sentences:
81 need hardly add that | have rea-
son to believe these terms will be ac-
copied by the workers. If there is
good reason why the managers cannot
accept, they will be obligated to open
direct negotiations or assume full re-
sponsibility for the situation"

Future Decisions of U. S. Labor Board
Must Be Obeyed to Letter.

New York-The conference of rail
road presidents assembled at the
Grand Central Terminal to discuss
President Harding's proposals for set
Element of the nationwide strike adj
journed without taking action, after
Secretary of Commerce Hoover had
presented the administration position.
President Harding's proposal:
The first sets forth that the men
and roads should abide by the wage
decision reached by the United States
Rail Labor Board.
The second proposal provided that
all lawsuits brought by either side in
connection with the strike. should be
withdrawn and that disputes arising
out of the walkout should be left with
the Labor Board for settlement
The third proposal-and the one cal
culated to provoke the most discus
sion when the conference meets again
for vote of acceptance or rejection,
suggests that strikers be taken back
on the, basis of seniority which they
enjoyed before they walked out
