Whjle more than 50 railways counting subsidi aries had, to all Intents and pur poses, made their peace with the striking shopmen tonight, a much larger group was still holding aloof, and reports were that many would reject the Baltimore separate settle ment plan. One of the day's developments, Kreeted in some quarters as a sur prise, was an announcement by .fames K. Gorman, president of the Rock Island lines, that his road would not agree to the proposal sanctioned by the shop crafts' gen eral conference committee yesterday. '"I met with the general chairmen of the shop crafts on our road to day, but while the session was an amicable one, I told them that we could not settle on the basis of the Baltimore plan. Since the union rep resentatives came here authorized to deal with that proposal only, we could get nowhere. "The Rock IsLand will continue to pursue the policy it adopted when the walkout started July 1. We are getting along well." On roads which have agreed to the general provisions of the peace pro posal, executives and general chair men representing the shopmen's or ganization were in conference today in Chicago, as well as elsewhere L throughout the country, working out details -of the settlement. The minor stipulations may vary on the several railways, it was said. Officials of the Chicago & North western, which, under the agree ment, is to reinstate about 12,000 workers within 30 days, said thou sands probably would return to their jobs today, certainly not later than Monday. Similar announcement was made at the offices here of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, which will take back about 14,000 men. Shop "help wanted" signs disap peared yesterday from the premises of carriers which have fallen in line with the Baltimore plan, and orders placed with labor agencies were can celed.- WHAT CONGRESS DID AS ITS DAY'S WORK.

HOIK CHARGE FACED PREACHER ACCUSED BV TEN YEAR-OLD MOTHER. RECOVERY AVIIili TAKE TIME Immediate. Return of Prosperity Is Held Impossible. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 14 warning was given by high admin istration officials today that the country must recover from the aft ermath of the recent industrial up heaval before economio benefits flowing from the settlement of the railroad strike can react fully upon national business conditions. Secretary Hoover took the view that although the country is now undoubtedly better off than it was a 'year ago. it probably will be six months before a high plane of pros perity is attained, while Secretary Mellon, although considering the business outlook "very good," rec ognized as forestalling immediate commercial expansion the limita tions imposed upon transportation facilities by car shortages and a possible Inadequate labor supply. The greatest loss as a result of the strike will .be borne by the farmers, according to an analysis of the situ ation by Secretary Hoover. In contrast with the views of his two cabinet associates, however. Secretary Davis of the labor depart ment was positive that settlement of the railroad strike removed the last obstacle to "unprecedented" prosperity.
