first of the week.
 After a conference with President Harding today, E. F. Grable, head of the maintenance of way organization, there was no prospect of an immed- fate authorization of a strike of his 100000 men, but added that AS hours might change the situation. According to a White House statement concern ing the meeting, MT. Grable brought to the president the first official pro test that railroads are ignoring decis- ions of the labor board, and expressed the opinion that proper conference would end in settlement.
 Senator Cummins, chairman of thu senate interstate commerce commis- sion, said that hearings would be held soon looking toward a revision of the transportation act and to deal with problems developed by the strike, one of the matters to be taken up, he said, being penalties for violation of the la bor boards decisions.
 Chicago, the hub of the strike was quiet; MT Jewell announced he would have nothing to say over the weekend while labor board mediators apparent ly were non-plussed by the "fundamen- tai differences" developed at yester- days conferences.
 At Washington, official circles were said to be hopeful for settlement, but the administration was prepared for emergency action should the oc casion arise.
 Federal court orders restraining strikers from interfering with the pc titioners' continues to be granted. Troops were requested at San Der nardino, Cal. to protect railroad prop erty and representatives of Secretary of War Weeks and Governor Neff of Texas were Investigating the need foI troops at Dennison, Tex. Disorders occurred at Scranton, Pa., where one man was shot, and at Ennis, Tex.
 Indications that the strike would have an early effect on crops was seen in statements from Fresno, Cal. that S200,000 000 worth of fruit is en . dangered and from Macon, Ga, that railroads have begun to withdraw their solicitors from the peach and melon districts.
 The statement by rail executives here today said that reports from rail ways in all parts of the country showed gains in the number of men in the shops since the strike began The situation, the statement said, was better in eastern territory than else where
