Washington, July 21.-President
Harding was advised today by Chair
man Cummins and Senators Watson
OF Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota
of the senate interstate commerce
committee of the unavailing efforts
made by them in the conference with
several leading eastern railroad execu-
tives last night to obtain a basis for
settlement of the railroad strike.
The three committeeman went to
the White House shortly after 9
o'clock and laid before the president
the full details of the conference last
night at a Washington hotel with the
railroad executives. They declined to
discuss their report prior to its pres
entation to the president.

Chicago. July 21.-The strike of
railway shopmen today bore increas-
ing external appearances of a finish
fight between the union men and the
rail heads.
Will Not Weaken.
An abortive conference at Washing

road presidents and members of the
senate interstate commerce commit

demand of union men for reconsider
alton OF the instructions which abolish
seniority rights of the strikers. de-
SIrON Inelr pension status and refuse
creation OF boards of adjustment
The conference also revealed that II
was regarded as unpracticable to mass
legislation to deal with the present
strike.
Ben w. Hooper. chairman of the
railroad labor board and b NJ. JeweII
head of the railway employees depart

Labor. and leader of the striking
shopmen, would not comment early,
today when informed by the Associated
Press Of failure of the Washington
conference to produce a hopeful sign.
No Other Plan Ready.
So far as known here, no further
plan toward solution of the strike wa
under way and speculation turned to
what might be the next step by the
federal government
As the strike of 100000 shonr,en
rounded out its third week. its effect
on transportation was becoming in
creasingly evident, as reports from
thruout the country told of annulment
of nearly 500 trains and combining Of
numerous others. On the one hand
were reports of additional replace-
ments of strikers with increasing ef-
forts TO safeguard them. while the
