U. S. WILL NOT REHEAR CASE OF RAIL MEN

f T 1 TT'MI CI uiun Leaders in ounnnii Awards to Men Without Recommendations. I5y Ansf.eJated rres : CHH'AtiO, July 21. -Submission of the $600,000.000 rail wage award! to a referendum vote by the 1.S00.-' 000 railroad workers w ithout r com- j mendations from the union leaders 'ithtr for Its acceptance or rejection appeared probable Wednesday nigl i. This was opinion in labor circles following rejection by the United States railway labor board of a petition for a rehearing of the case. Three courses were open to the union chiefs: First, submission without recommendation; second, recommendation that the ward be accepted, and third, that it be rejected. The more conservative counsel in the union ranks has steadfastly opposed outright rejection of the labor board's decision. The door to recommendation of adoption apparently was closed Wednesday leaders of the rail workers intimated when tljey requested that the case be reopened, and the board refused to accede. Action Unsatisfactory. After asking for a rehearing it appeared doubtful that the union leaders could consistently reccmmenu accer tanoe. of the award, as their action indicated it was unsatisfactory to them. The only course lett open, therefore, would be to pass the board's decision along to the men and rely on their retei endum. The labor board declined to reopen the case on the ground that its j decision represented the conclusions reached after an exhaustive survey in which both sides had been given I ample time to present all facts sur rounding the case. No good could bu accomplished at this time, members of the board stated, by granting a rehearing which would only serve to delay the case and prevent the. men receiving th Increased wages in their their August ' A .day - bf -coniercnros between presidents, of the IS unions reoogn'ie"d.in the award, and 1,000 chairmen of these organizations failed to develop any common ground on which the leaders were willing to issue a statement. Two days and a night of meetings have failed to bring the- leaders together and W. Ci. J,ee, grand master tt the Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen, indicated the presidents weuild have no recommendation to make to the general chairman before Thursday. Men Uedding Fast. Reports reaching union headquarters and the railroad managers' association here indicate-d with few exceptions that the men were holding fast and waiting for their othe ers te) act. The tirst reported strike was recorded in Chicago late Wednesday when about 100 (Irand Trunk railroad cm i loyes walkeal eut, accenting to company estimates. Strikers, hiiwevf r, claimed 000 men iitured in the walkout Company erticers said no ele-mands hael be en presented and that it was presumed the men were dissatisfied with the rail board decision. From a few cities came reports that the men had voted to reject the award and stand on tlieir original demands, but the enes o voting remain eel at work. The decision made by the brotherhood olba ers Thursday may have an Important ffect on the- future of I their organizations, in the opinion e.f observers who have made a study of the railr- td w irre demands. It is no ecret that for months there has been dis.---i.tion within the union ranks and an outspoken dissatisfaction over the failure of the nvlnn moers to e.ntam lor tneir mt n ho ralses they demanded. Cau-o f Strikes. It was this dissatisfaction which resulted in the sporadic strikes in April. Mm who joined the new unions and walked out insisted they were tired r.f the policy pursued by the labor politicians and that they "wanted a new deal." The brotherhood leaders insisted the men shou'd'wait for the govern ment's award, but now that it has I come they are fully alive to the' ! fact that if the me n reject It they ! also blame their le aders for not obI f.iimr.c- all that was asked. So far as the rail labor hoard is concerned the wag' award is closed and Thursday the case of the T'i.OOO employes of the American t .O. .--! t."
