 2 He believes his union and four others allied with it will agree to start from scratch" un- der the time-COnSuming railway labor act in their new negotiations for changes in A working rules.
 3. He thinks this should result in "a settlement or a breakdown of negotiations by Nov. l."
 Whitney's statement at a com bined dinner and news conference Wednesday night jibed with the stand of Alvanley Johnston, who said the same thing in Cleveland regarding his brotherhood of loco motive engineers.
