The mect- ing was planned to take place with- out the inconveniences attended by publicity, they said, indicating regret that it had become known to any out- side th e invited to attend. The conference was convened at a local hotel with great secrecy fol- lowing a series of meetings yester- day at the White House in which President Harding talked with mem- bers of a committee from the Associa- tion of Railway Executives and with®a delegation composed of leaders of the railroad brotherhoods who are not on strike. Replies Are Withheld. As a result of the day’s conferences the replies of both groups to Mr. Harding’s last suggested basis for settlement were withheld temporarily, as were also statements explaining the attitude of both sides. In the labor group at the secret conference tonight were L. k. Shep- pard of the conductors, W. M. Doak of the trainmen, D. B. Robertson of the firemen and F. A. Burgess of the locomotive engineers. It was reported that Secretary of Labor Davis and George Christian, secretary to the President, had participated to some extent in the discussions. Continues Mediation Efforts. A continuation of President Hard- ing's attempt to mediate the railroad strike situation resulted yesterday from personal conferences at the ex- ecutive offices between administration leaders, the chosen committee of &ll the railroad executives and officials of railroad labor organizations. The text of responses from both sides to President Harding’s offer of a basis for a settlement,'and all state- ments which might widen the breach between the railroad managements and their striking employees were withheld from publication, and both the railroad union chiefs and the executives committee were held in ‘Washington for further conference with the President, possibly today. It was understood that the Presi- dent purposed to maintain negotia- tions between the two groups and to keep- them separafe while certain propositions were raised and consid- ered until some basis of possible agreement developed. Meanwhile, it became evident, the administration had dropped any inten- tion it may have held of appealing to Congress for legislation that might . bear upon the subject. Senatora elose to the President wers given to under- stand that no requests for congression- al action would be forthcoming, and that mo presidential message to Con- gress affecting the strike would be transmitted or delivered. train service employes of the Atchison, Topeka and $anta Fe railroad, which had led to the “stalling” of important through trains, by ordering the federal to investigate whether such “abandon- ment” of trains constituted a conspiracy to hamper interstate commerce. If suffi- cient evidence was found. the message ordered it presented to a grand jury for finding of an indictment. The President’s. determination to push for a mediation of the difficulty was first disclosed in the midst of , double conférences which were staged at the executive offices. Nine heads of railroad labor organizations not {on strike took to the White House {a statement of their own poiicy {toward the strike. Prior to their arrival the response of the seven unions on strike in the railroad serv- ice had been delivered at the White House. It constituted, union officers said, a rejection of the President's suggestion that the men go back to work and leave their seniority status to be fixed by the Railroad Labor Board. The President recéived the labor group and, after more than an hour's discussion, in which Senator Cum- mins, chairman of the interstate commerce committee, and two cab- inct members, Secretaries Hoover and Davis, participated, asked them to step into the cabinet room, while he received T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Execu- tives, and other railroad spokesmen, who bore with them what has been understood to be a conditional ac- ceptance of the same settlement offer. : - The first intimation of.the request to continue negotiations came when the union group, through L. E. Shep- pard, announced to newspaper men that all the prepared statements and the reply of the striking unions would be withheld from publication. Refusal Held Back. Speaking for all of his associates, Mr. Sheppard declared that while the strikers’ refusal of the final settle- ment proposal had not been with- drawn it would be held back for the present. He ked the newspaper men to consider the seriousness of the situation, declared that the least said about the situation would be better, and said that the union leaders not actually involved in the strike had “told their troubles to the Presi- dent,” and had “sought to_use their good advices and service as media- tors in the situation.” He would not express himself as hopeful, but said that a committee of the non-striking organizations would attend the Presi. dent's further pleasure In the meantime, President Hard- ing was continuing the discussions with the railroad o meeting, that began at ing until after 7 o' { tonight apparently on the opposite | stands taken as to arbitration of fu- {ture contracts by President John L.

Conferences Arranged. { While the meeting of the joint | subscale committee of operators and miners had adjourned until Monday, it was learned that conferences in the meantime had been arranged for the two leaders, who had been em- powered to agree on a report that would be submitted to the subcom- mittee Monday. Only the question of arbitration was said to be dis- agreed on by them. Mr. Lewis was said to have agreed to appointment of a commission of inquiry, with purely advisory pow- ers, his proposal being similar to that embodied in the Crews-Glasgow agreement, which had been suggested early in the week as a basis for set- tlement of tHe strike on possibly a national scale. Meets Pennaylvania Owner. Aside from conferences with Mr. Gallagher, the miners’ president met with Thomas H. Watkins, a big op- erator in central Penngylvania, who was understood to be willing to open rnegol‘adons with the union for an immediate settlement of the strike at his mines. Mr. Watkins was un- derstood to be willing not to insist on compulsory arbitration, but neither he nor Mr. Lewis would make any statement. The meeting of the subscale com- mittee, which named Mr. Lewis and Mr. Gallagher to work out a pos- sible agreement, was marked today by an agreement that the oconfer- ence here of operators and miners was “in no sense a four-state con- ference.”. This was said to have cleared the way for further nego- tiations, with indications now favor- ing a final decision on Monday as to whether an agreement will. re- sult from the conference that began last Monday. When the committee adjourned today both sides expressed hon% of a settlement. 7 McCBAY GOING TO OHIO. INDIANAPOLIS, August 12—Gov.
