ment Are Being Expressed Freely-—-'l'nin Service is Be- ing Curtailed Because of ing Lack of Equipment—A Striking Shop Worker Was Killed in Cleveland During an Outbreak Saturday Night —Walkout of Maintenance Men Not Expected Before Tuesday. Chicago, July 16.—(By the A. P.)—A |maintenance of way employes union a! veil of silence descended like a blanket over the rallway strike situation today as both railiroad heads and strike leaders turned hopeful eves towird the moment- ous developments the new weeks was ex- pected to bring forth. The bitterness which has marked the progress of the walk-out at times during the standing. The hurling of verbal chal- lenges, claims and counter-claims, ultis matums and deflance: apparently had ended through exhaustion or the hope of an early agreement. Rallway executives who declared their willingness last night to attend any meet- ing called by the United States railroad labor board with a view to effecting a settlement “that would not nullify, but would uphold and carry out the board's decisions,” spent the holiday away from their offices and in seclusion. B. M. Jewell, leader, leader of the striking shopmen, visited his almost. de- serted headquartars for a short time only to run through his mail and tele- gramsfi He read the railroad executives' statement with a quiet grin, but refused to comment on it. “There will be nothing over the week-end,” he said. “I can't say a word, son—not a word,” Ben Hooper, chairman of the labor board, sighed wearily when found alone in the offices of the board. Despite the sllence of the leaders, with @ccompanying rumors of a tacit armistice or truce to allow furthe rconsideration of points brought out during the week at mediation conferences, hopes of an early settlement were expressed freely in both railways and labor quarters, although no tangible basis for these expectations was given in any case. One of the factors most often to jus- tify a belief that the drift was toward peace, despite the fallure last week of Mr. Hooper's efforts to bring the labor: leaders and the executives together, was the statemet of R. A: Henning, general chairman of the Federated Shop Crafts of' the Northwest, that omly the refusdl of | tie eastern roads to agree to reinstate riking shop crafts workers with their full seniority rights, is preventing a set- | tiement of the strike so far as the north- west roads are concerned. The railroads throughout it was de- clared, have insisted that their men re-! turn to work as one of the first steps to- rd peace, and the belief was expressed at the restoration of the rights sought would not alone prove a great stumbling block in the way of a full settlement. In this connection a member of. the iabor board asserted that the roads had to a large extent stopped recruiting men to replace the strikers. On the other quesions at issue—outside eontracting for shop work, modification of certain rules and working agreenients, the establishment of conciliation boards wnd wages—it was declared that most of the roads had already agree to abolisl Ing outside contracting as ordered by the labor board, and to establishing early the conciliation boards under the federal transportation act. Thus, but two questions, it was asserted, were now ut lssue=rules and wages, both of which might again. be brought before. the labor board for decision on.the demand of the men for a re-hearing. In the case of the maintenance of way men, it was pointed out, the board averted * wal-out by agreeing to an immediate tonsidération of appeals for wage in- trease on the ground that governmemt figufes showed that the cost of living | k24 iricreased since its rendered the wage reduction decision, which became effective | July 1, simultaneously with the calling Ofl the shopmen's strie. But, while Sabbath ealm enfolded the headquarters of the contending forces in Chicago, reports of the cancellation of trains because of the coal shortage or the growing lack of equipment, and of strike outbreaks continued. Union leaders.al- ¥o predicted some - accessions to thelr ranks tomorrow, from the staionary fire- men and ollers and the clerks, although they refused even to hazard a guess as to the number of men who might be at~ tected by any new walkouts. In Texas, Governor Pat Neff was still refusing to order state troops to Denl- yon, wheré outbreaks were threatened. At Cleveland, O., the second outbreak of the strike last night resulted in the killing of u_striking. shop workers near the spot where the first striker was killed a week Southern railway and its affliated lines. The ballots are returnable July 20 “at Chattanooga, Tenn., it was reported last]. g0. Several outbreaks yesterday were re- ported at Scranton, Pa., wherd two men were assaulted; troops were required to guard raliroad shops at Hannibal, Mo., because of dificulty in recruiting enough federal deputy marshals and soldiers also were being held ready for duty at Chaf- Tes, Mo, as the result of the apnounced Intention to open the shops there Monday.

E. F. Grable, prekident of that organization, declin®d to indicate last night, when he’ left Washington for Detrojt after a con- ference with President Harding, what action' he would recommend to his as- sociates, but reiterated the hope that a conference would be forced between the railroad eecutives and the unlon shop: men now on strike, which, he believed, would bring a settlement of the preseat tie-up, g A report on the recent disorders at Denison, Texas, was received at the war department today and was taken at once to the White House. , It was understood to have been from the army inspector ordered to the scene by Secretary Weeks, following request for- troops from the federal receiver of the Missourl, Kansas and ‘Texas railroad. The text of the repcrt was not made public, how- ever, and no . statement on it or any other phase of the strike was forthcom- ing from the White House during the day, Next to the meeting of the mainte- nance of way union meeting, interest here centered chiefly upon the effect of the strike upon .the transportation of the mails.

P.) -With the country’s two major labor. disputes still. contributing their e_\enn?u of uncertainty, business and financial news during the past week suggegt that the-trend toward improvement is uninte! rupted. Rallroad car loadings for the last: week in June were slightly smaller than in the one previous, whith-set a new high record for ths year. The loss is accounted for by smaller coal ship- ments, the movement of merchandise showing a further gain. 3 Indication that .a better demand. for steel products is beiny maintained were confirmed by the June 30 total of un- filled orders of the U. 8. Cteel Corpor- ation. As . of the first of the current month, the corporation’s books show 5.-. 835,000 tons of unfinished business, the figure being 381,000 tons larger than on May 30 and 1494, 000 tons above that on February 28 when the low point of the recent depression was made. It is estimated, furthermore, that the June 30 figure means that ne-¢ ~business dui ing June amounted to more, than 1,401 000 tons, which is a volume exceeding the corporation’s monthly . m-oduction, capacity. At present steel output is ex- periencing a mild check -on account. of the railroad strike, the ‘Steel Corpora- tion's rate of operations having been reduced from 77 per cent. to 75 per o Meanwhile the trade ~has de- veloped a certain amount of anxiety over a possible care shortage this fal pointing out that the increase in new business which would accomnany term- ination of the strike would coincide with the active period of crop movement. Coal production for the week ending Julv 8 shows a marked decrease. The | falling off hardly reflects the general trend of things, however, as aside from the 'coal strike, the cutput was affected by the July 4 holiday. The loss of ap- proximately 1,500,000 tons from the low production of recent weeks nevertheless served to intensify the drain on exiscing for organization of motor truck routes to replace discontinued mail trains. moved forward with much success, the department nounced. Postmaster. Geneéral - Work expressed the opinion, however, \that the use of motor vehi- cles, would not be resorted to except in extreme emergencies, and that from re- ports at-hand he was confident the rail- roads would be able to transport’ the mails with but little delay, Possible extension of the strike in- a new direction was seen in-the distribu- tion of strike ballots by the Brother- hood of Railway Steamship Clerks. t Handlers and Express Employes to {ts"mémbers who are: employed bp: the night. STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OF MAINTENANCE BROTHERHOOD Detroit, Mich,, July 16 (By The A.

The men protésted to" headquar- ters here and the matter was taken up with the roads, with' the result that most of them agreed to desist. past few days, however, reports have reached him, Mr. Grable continued that some roads again were insisting - the shop duties be performed by union men remaining in -their employ. “If. the roads agree to cease this prac- tice,” Mr. Grable said, “there will be no strike of maintenance of way men at this time, but if they persist, a strike will be called.” .
