ROADS of the nation, and repre-
sentatives Of other roads handling
heavy coal traffic gathered here
today in the American Associa-
ton of Railways headquarters in
secret meeting.
Though unannounced, officials
Of the association insisted that the
conference would not deal with
the general railroad situation, y
but concerned coal rates in the
Middle West and in sectors con-
tiguous to the Great Lakes.
Nevertheless, reports persisted
that the rail chiefs gathered to
discuss prospects for pending
legislation to relieve roads in
financial distress.
Rail executives participating in
cluoed Dan Willard, president of
the Baltimore and Ohio; Carl
Gray. chairman of the board of
the Union Pacific; F. E. william

Officials of the Railway Labor
Executives Association, when
advised of the meeting, said they
believed the conference was held
for the purpose of deciding
whether the operators wanted the
government operation legislation
formally introduced.
The labor chiefs said the bill,
providing Tor government opera

crisis brings a general strike, was

ing to organize special blocS.

The Washington times., 1938-06-09

This proposal was being ex.
plored along with several sugges-
tons for legislation to facilitate
reorganization of railroads in des-
perate financial condition.
RESOLUTION DRAFTED
While several Senators admit.
ted that a resolution for Govern.
ment operation OF the railroads
had been drafted. a decision had
yet to be reached over whether TO
introduce it into the Senate.
Expectations were that it would
be next November before a show
down is reached between the rail
roads and their employees over tie
announced IS per cent pay slash,
LONG PARLEYS
The processes of mediation and
arbitration provided in the rail
road act for settlement of wage
disputes was expected to require
months in bringing about an
agreement or strike. The rail
road workmen have given notice
they intend to stick by their re-
fusal to accept a wage cut.
Among Democratic Senate
leaders there was a belief Presi-
dent Roosevelt may send special
message to Congress shortly out
lining the plight of the railroads
and presenting a specific program
Of remedies.
NO PROPOSALS
In his recent message on the
problem he made no proposals of
q far-reaching nature to meet
what many consider to be crisis
for the carriers. Should the
Executive give the word for legiS-
lation now, powerful group Of
Senators are prepared to hold
Congress in session until the legiS-
lation is passed.
One Senator said that no gen.
eral railroad legislation could be
expected at this session of Con.
gress unless the President gives it
his support, in view of the urge to
adjourn.
