CHICAGO, July 28.—The basis of a possible settlement of the strike of sorne 300,000 rallway shopmen was suggested by a member of the United States Rallroad Labor Board last night, as follows: 1. Shop craftsmen who remained at work. to go to the head of the senlority lists, taking precedence over all those who struck. 2. Strikers to regain pension privileges and senlority rights, but to rank below the men who remained loyal to the roads, but ahead of new men taken on during the course of the strike. 3. New employes, who have been fllling places of the strikers, to be kept in the service of the roads, but to take only seniority to which they are entitled by length of actual service. 4. Shop craftsmen who struck to return to work under the wage scale and working conditions put into effect by the labor board on July 1, pending a rehearing by the board. 5. Rallroads to stop outside contractin adjustment boards, and to drop all possible of the strike.

CHICAGO, July 28.—Plans for peace In the rallway strike again today seemed to be assuming a more tan- gible form and the hope was ex- pressed that the 300,000 unfon shop- men soon would resume work and submit thelr grievances, including the question of senfority rights, to the United States Railroad Labor Board. The announcement that a plan for settlement of the walkout would be put before a meeting in New York Tuesday of executives of 148 of the largest raflroads, made by T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Rallway Executives, after a conference with President Harding, together with the Presi- dent’'s statement indicating that he would ask the Labor Board to grant the shopmen a rehearing, was taken in rail circles here to mean that the rail chiefs would be asked to leav settlement of the jssues involved to the board.

In view of statements made by some rall heads that striking shop- men returning to work must come back as new employes, it was pointed out that in case the rallway execu- tives failed to arrive at an agree- ment on the seniority question the men going back to work could, if de- nied their old places, take th to the labor board without of the executivs There was a noticeable increase in the number of reports of violenoe reaching here from as far west as San Bernardino, Cal and as far east ap Conoord, N.
