, Washing-ton,. July IX- An unmrr-Jn-
optimism that-th railroad strik
will b settled, or at lcwt a true
. arranced before the end of th week,
seem to perrade the executive branch
of the government whilst congress with
ft m eagre attendance reveala UtUe con
cern on way or the other. -

are coins on Informally among rail

: i The "" position of -the "railroad . board
t has, on the other hand, been immeaa-
: ' urably strengthened by the statement
of railroad executives, to . the 'effect
. that they cannot enter Into any, nego
tiations with their men, but that the
decision of the railroad labor board is
' final. This Is an interesting and hope
". ,ful development as viewed here, for it
means a long " step toward Industrial
..s peace. Heretofore ithe ": unions : hay
felt Justified tit Ignoring the 'decision
of the labor board by the strike
. . method chiefly because of a conviction
- that the railroads themselves were
not obeying the decisions f the board.
Some lapses on both sides are ad-
mittftd. but the open recognition by
the railroad executives of the finality
f the United States labor board de-
: clsions Is regarded her as an import
ant Precedent which will make it dif
fieult for the railroads later on to
' defy the board on matters which ap
pear to f ayor th employes.
HABD12TO BACKS JBOARn
From the rery "Nfflnnln: I the presi
dent has kept to one line Jof attack.
' Tiamelv. the maintenance of; the labor
board as the . all-powerful agency .of
government above which there was no
inivL Ceaa-ress throughout all Its
debates did not intend that any pen
- altv should attach for th disobedience
of a decision: of th railroad 1abor
board and purposely emitted the mat-'
' ter of penalties believing that public
onlnion would compel obedience. ,
Mr Hardma la relying.' of eourse. on
v public opinion but there is a feeling
. labor circles that he has stated
erroneously the true power of th labor
board when he attempts in jois proc
M.mHin tn riva to the labor board's
decisions the weight of law and when
h gives the impression that In striking
against a decision ' of th board th
' men ar ineffect atrlklnr, against th
United States government. Th truth
m nnKar tn the transportation act
does th labor board - hav powers of
- V compulsory arbitration, tm govern
" : ; nnt, however, ha full power to pro
tect any worker who do accept the d-
- riskini of -th board.. To this v extent
; infwfmnni with interstate com
mnn.n be urevented and leaders
and workmen Jailed If they prevent
others from taking lobs in conformity
with th labor oararawara ,
AT OUT ;IS SEEJf
' ' Th n re aidant could have stressed
this phase of law breaking even more
than he did and kept within the mean
ing -of th federal ; statutes but labor
leaders, among, them Samuel Gompers,
Insist that Mr Jiarding's proclamation
contains an Ufttenabl doctrine. ; 1 1t
is recognled.;UbPwever.' that', if the
railroad strik ; is settled directly or
Indirectly without serious challenge to
th authority of th labor board an
Important advance will ha-v r been
made and th principles expressed by
the chief executive will grow In weight
later on. Once th railway employes
decided to accept the decisions of , the
U. S. labor board as" final they will
in turn compel th- railroad to
likewise or forfeit the support of public
opinion, whjch makes itself felt, mor
readUy, with the railroad executives
because of the influence of the gov
ernment upon the thousands of people
and varied Interests whose collective
power affects railroad management.
tk mrm-r out ; for the - railroad em
ploye is to accept th . decision of
th labor board with, a? request ; for
reconsideration. This may or, may not
b grantd .by ' th board. If it "
granted it would not commit th board
to modification, but would afford th
labor - leader an - opportunity to re
sume negotiations and end th strik
without seeming lo nave won or ioau

wages to be paid this 'year for har-s
vesting th prune crop.' at th regular

borers S3 per day: and pickers will be
- paid cents per box with a bonus of
1 cents per box addition to those who

This bonus is justified by. the fact
that it is difficult ,to hold pickers when
