Chicago, July 6.-(By the Asso-
ciated PresS.)-The strike of rail-
way shopmen assumed a more con-
ciliatory aspect today-the sixth
since the nationwide walkout-'
and feeling became more general
in rail circles that the last "a hours
had shown a marked trend toward
peace despite increased disorders at
scattered points.
It was believed that yesterdays
exchange Of letters between Ben
w. Hooper, chairman Of the United
States railroad labor board and B.
M Jewell, head of the railway em-
ployes' department Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, probably
opened the way to negotiations for
an early settlement of the contro-
versy.
Jewell Opens Way.
Jewell's statement that the shop
crafts "are willing to confer with
anybody authorized by the rail-
roads to bring peace proposals
was accepted as q promising indi-
cation Of speedy return to nor
NAL conditions in the railroad
shops. Mr.. Jewell said he neither
included nor excluded anybody, but
II the labor board came with def
mite proposition he would not hesi-
tate to consider it.
The statement was made in the
face Of the repeated contention by
the railroads that the shopmen's
strike is not against the carriers
but against the government, and
therefore a matter to be settled be-
fore the labor board, the govern
,ment's tribunal.
Explains ignoring Summons.
Explaining his failure to answer
last Fridays summons to appear a:
a joint conference before the board,
Mr.. Jewell said the summons came
too late possibly to avert the walk
out for Saturday and that his ap-
pearance would only have caused
confusion in the ranks of the shop
crafts who had their orders tO
strike.
Another harbinger Of peace in
the statement by Chairman Hooper
was that a number of railroads
which had been farming out shop
work to contractors are ready to
abolish the contract system, which
proved to be the main issue in the
shopmen's strike, according to re-
turns in the strike referendum. AL

DOZENS IN
SCRAMBLE
TO ESCAPE
Many Carried Out; In.

Pavement.

New York, July 6.-(By
the Associated Press.) =
About one hundred fifty per-
sons were overcome by
smoke today when a north
bound Jerome avenue ex-
press on the East side sub
way caught fire near Lexing-
ton avenue and Sixty-first
street. Dozens of ambu-
lances were summoned from
nearly every hospital in the
city and Mayor Hylan ar
rived to direct the rescue
work.
The accident occurred
about Is feet underground.
The fire started in the motorman's
box after a fuse had blown out.
There was a flash of flame and the
smoke swept through, the crowded
train.
Use Fire Ladders.
When the emergency brakes were
applied and the train came to
grinding halt, guards threw open
the doors and passengers made a
mad scramble to escape. Those un-
able to walk were carried from the
cars to the Fifty-ninth street sta
ton. Fire ladders also were
dropped through iron gratings at
Sixty-first street and unconscious
women lifted to the street.
The injured were stretched out
on the sidewalks for several blocks.
A temporary hospital was organ
lied and IA pulm0tors were put in
operation. The crowd Of spectators
soon became so dense that police
reserves had to be rushed to the
scene. NN
Men, women and children filled
the 10-car train. Guards attempt
ed to fight the flames with extin-
guishers. but failed. When the fire.
men arrived, however, they soon
succeeded in quelling the blaze.
which in itself was small. Many Of
the fire fighters were overcome.
Many Doctors Arrive.
Relief work soon got under way.
Besides the doctors who hastened
to the scene in their automobiles,
many other physicians jumped into
taxicabs, in many cases bringing
their office nurses with them.
Mayor Hylan, one of the first
city officials to arrive, was driven
back by fumes when he attempted
to enter the subway. He directed
that experts be summoned frola
the fire department and the depart
ment of water supply, gas and cleo
tricity to make a thorough invcsti-
CATION of the blaze.
Three May Die.
Three persons were so badly at
tackled by the gas that fear is felt
for their lives. About fifty were
sent to hospitals and the others re-
ceived medical attention. The train
carried about five hundred passen-
gers.
"A UOWuloWA CApiCoo oh tCoIhttS
the spot where the other had halt
ed, also was filled with fumes.
Windows were broken as the pas
sengers fought to. escape.
Unaware that the electric cur
rent had been switched of four
minutes after the fire broke out in
a fuse box, passengers crawlei
along the tracks on hands and
knees, fearing the dreaded third
rail.
With Mayor Hylan directing op-
erations the blaze soon was extin-
guished, ambulances were summon
ed from every hospital in the city
and first aid station organized on
Lexington avenue, which was rop-
ed of for Is blocks by police re-
serves because of the thousands
who f1ocked to the scene. II was
two hours before traffic could be
resumed on the subway, which was
jammed with stalled trains for many
miles.

dent that it was impossible to save

and the engine and boiler rooms
were completely destroyed. The
