Rallroad Labor Board ‘“the fullest and fairest consideration” will be granted, Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the labor board said in a statement today. Great Strike Is Over. The chairman’s statement said: ““As a positive disbeliever in the moral right and practical efficiency of railway strikes, I am glad to know the strike has ended on part of the roads. It is to be hoped that some plan of settlement can be agreed up- on for all the others The settlements sustain the transportation act and the theory of orderly procedure for the adjustment of labor troubles in the raflway industry. The decisfons of the labor board stand unmodified by the appeal to economic and physical force. All the questions upon which the strike was predicted will come back to the board if the parties de- sire to bring them there. “If they should be at any time re- opened the board will accord them the fullest and fairest consideration without any spirit of vindictiveness (Continued on Second Page).

London, Sept. 14 (By the Associate ed Press)—The impression {s growing here that a Turkish peace can only be arranged in a large international conference in which Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria and the other Balkan states participate. This impression is based in part upon the renewed expression of Rus- |sia's attitude regarding the straits of the Dardanelles as contained in her note of protest against the allied ace tion in Constantinople, sent recently to Great Britaln in which she ' de- mands the question be settled prime arily by the powers that use the Blackj Sea as an outlet to the ocean.

Mustapha Kemal Pasha and his adherents in the nat. ionalist movement never wavered even during the blackest days of de- feat when last yvear the Greeks were pushing towards Angora. They main- tained they would live or die by the pact. Now that the nationalists have won, after three years of hardship and with many of thelr own people against them it is not belleved that they will surrender the fruits of their victory.
