RAIL HEADS REJECT
PLAN TO END STRIKE
Seniority Proposition Ques-
ton On Which the De-
cision Hinged.

New York.-Railway executives OF
the nation Wednesday firmly but cour-
teously rejected the program ad-
yanced BY the Harding administration
for settlement of the rail strike.
Willing 70 accept conditionally two
suggestions put forward by the White
House-that both sides abide by wage
decisions Of the railroad labor board
and that law suits springlng out OF
the strike be withdrawn-the heads or
l4S roads declaI ed emphatically that
it was impossible to reinstate strikers
with unimpaired seniority rights, the
third provision in the presidents PLAN
After being told by Robert S. Lovett
of the Union Pacific that there was
no moral or practical reason for budg-
ing from their position, the executives
disbanded. caught the first trains for
their respective headquarters and In
dicated that they were going ahead
and would operate their roads with
the forces they had assembled since
the shopmen walked out on July l.
The decision not to yield on the
question of seniority was made known
to the White House by telegraph after
the rail heads had listened to a twen-
ty-minute address by Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover, who, as direct rep
resentative Of the president told them.
in effect, that the administration held
the seniority question Of minor impor'
lance in comparison with that of up
holding the railroad labor board.
This action was taken in the face OF
a letter from President Harding ad-
dressed to T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the American Association Of Rail-
way Executives, embodying the terms
of agreement as understood them up
on which the railroad managers and
United Shopcraft Workers are to
agree, preliminary to calling off the
strike
President Harding had closed his let
ter with these two sentences: Il need
hardly add that l have reason to be-
lieve these terms will be accepted by
the workers. If there is good reason
why the managers can not accept. they!
will be obligated to open direct nego-,
tiations or assume full responsibility
for the situation"

Generators and Lease Men
Warned About Oil Lands

Austin, Tex. w. Hassell, chief
supervisor of the oil and gas division,
has received a report from Deputy
Supervisor w. F. Arnold that in one
of the fields recently discovered in
South Texas, subdivisions are being
made upon which 1t will be impossible
to drill under rule 81. Mr.. Hassell
states that operators and those deal
ing in leases have been advised and
wide publicity has been given to the
ruling that rule 81 applies to all fields
discovered since its adoption In No.
vember, 1919, whether in North or
Central Texas, or in the so-called gulf
coast fields, and he desires that the
press, especially that part interested
in oil development, again call atten-
ton to the fact that persons buying
such strips or small parcels do 50 at
the risk of being unable to drill them.
Rule 81 prevents drilling within $50
feet of a boundary line or 300 feet Of
a drilling or producing well, but al
lows the railroad commission to make
exceptions for two purposes-namely,
to prevent waste or protect vested
rights. No person can claim vested
right, the chief supervisor claims. who
buys one of these small parcels with
this rule staring him in the face.

NIGHT TRAVEL WEARS ROADS
In Daylight, According to Re-
cent Experiments.

The experiments being conducted on
the Bates experimental road, show
that night travel is more wearing on
highways than is day travel, accord
ing to Clifford Older, chief highway
engineer.
The road expands In the day, &C.
cording to Mr.. Older. and the center
becomes convex. The heat is absent
mt night. and the road assumes a con-
cave shape. the edges curling up and
forming slight hollow in the cen
tiers. From these discoveries it Is de-
duced that heavily loaded vehicles
travelling along on the edge Of a road
way have a tendency to cause 1t to
crumble.
The testing Of the Bates road was
begun late in March and Is still un-
der way 1t was delayed for q time
by the floods.
