STEPS TAKEN FOR RAILROAD PEACE MAKING (Continued from page one) resulted hi making the executives anxious for a settlement. A conference between tho officials of the five unions and the executives, sclu'dulod for today, was being postponed hourly, pending outcome of peace conferences. Tho strike, according to opinion in railroad circles hero, had served to bring about a clearer understanding between the unions and the railroads and will result in clearing tho atmosphere for more amicable relations between the roads and their shop workers. Th? shop crafts have no large warchest for carrying on an extended strike. Bart M. Jewell, union president has stated from the start of the walkout that he was ready to listen to any reasonable proposition for a settlement. By Charles R. Lynch Chicago, Julv 12.—(Special to Daily Democrat). — Conferences holding promise for quick settlement of the railroad shopmen's strike, were underway here today. Ben Hooper, chairman of the U. S. railroad executives throughout the night, in an effort to obtain concessions from the carriers. ’ He obtained conditions on which the union heads were willing to make a settlement previous to meeting the ? managers. The peace move promised to bring results just as indications pointed to ( strengthen the shopmen's strike through action of the Big Four railroad brotherhoods and the Switch- , men’s union. , Heads of these five organizations y met here with railroad managers to protest against operation of trains i. with defective equipment and main--1 te-nanee of troops on railroad property. Members of the five unions have p already started unauthorized strikes on i- hose points at Bloomington, 111., and ither points. i- With the conferences to bring about i- i settlement under way • reports of violence decreased. s Bast Dickson, a roundhouse fore- '■ nan of the Chicago & Alton at I’loom--1 ngton was forced to leave the city 8 iy a mob of 200. He was reported to >e a relative of the president of the e road and had been in charge of a r ?roup of strikebreakers. Conferences between Bert M. Jewill, president of the shop craft unions rnd Chairman Hooper, have been uny b-r way for two days. g They were secret and personal until ate yesterday when heads of the six t inions affiliated in the shop crafts md A. O. Whgrton, labor mYmber of he beard were called in. Following t he conference. Hooper discussed the situation on the long distance teleB phono with President Harding. Terms on which the strikers agreed t to peace, included: That the men return to work, aci .-opting the wage cut of July 1 "un- : dor protest.” Conferences will be be--5 gun immediately with railroads to revise the wage scale and if that is un- > successful the matter will be brought . before the Labor Board where it will . get immediate action. Any raise in i wages will be retroactive to July 1. That shop crafts be paid time and . a half for overtime and Sunday and holiday work. i That “farming out” of shop work t be abolished. , That seniority rights be restored to all men who lost them due to the strike. That all non-union men be discharged. When these demands were presented to tho executives, they were reported to have been in a ‘'conciliatory” mood ami showed a willingness to negotiate. Some predictions were made in high railroad circles that peace would be accomplished within a week. Action of the five large trainmen's unions and the switchmen .in protesting against use of troops on railroad property, was believed‘to have a large part in influencing the railroad managers toward a settlement. Also the railroad managers have admitted that the shopmen’s strike is far more effective than they had anticipated. Many of the stronger railroads have been forced to curtail passenger trains. Freight is moving in a haphazard manner on many lines. Tho Brotherhood chiefs arrived from Cleveland early today and were readv to present their demands to .the .■. ■ i ' manager. , 'J'li conference '. was not. expected ' to get under way until late in the day. however, as the carriers' representatives had been in conference on the shopmen’s peace question and did not have an opportunity to prepare for the brotherhood's meeting.
