REPORT NEW
Heads of 16 Organizations Will
Submit Program' at Confer
ence.With Executives in New
York; Details Kept Secret
Washington,' Aug. 18. A plan for
adjustment of the railroad strike is
understood ; to have been worked out
here at a lengthy conference today be
tween the heads of the 15 standard
railroad unions.
It will be taken to New Tork this
afternoon by chiefs of the four broth
erhoods and presented to the railway
executives in tomorrow's joint confer
ence at SI Broadway.
The ' brotherhood chiefs planned to
leave Washington at 3 o'clock this
afternoon for New York. Leaders of
the six striking shop crafts unions
will follow on a night train, so as to
be tn the vicinity of tomorrow's joint
conference.
FLAX IS SECRET , ' 1
Whatever the plan agreed upon, it
was a closely guarded secret. '
There is reason to believe, however.'j
that tomorrow's discussion will hinge
about the original proposition advanced
some weeks ago of dividing seniority!
into three classes :
1. Old men to rank first.
2. Returned strikers to ra&k second.!
3. New men to rank according to
the length of their service. The ques
tion of the strikers having first ; place
to be left to an impartial tribunal.
It is known, that a majority of the
executives are willing to accept such
a program, although some of the "die
hards" would oppose it.
HOPES REVIVED " . ,

mutual agreement between the railroad!

Most of the hissing was done by

BLAMES COMPANY , j
While Charles S. Knight, secretary
of the strike committee, was testifying
today. Judge Wolverton . interrupted
him and demanded a statement as to
what precautions' the union had taken
to prevent a violation of his injunction
order. Knight admitted that before
the order was issued that the union
had a regular picket committee with
Nick Eichner in charge, but that after
the injunction was issued no committee
was appointed to see that but one
picket was stationed at the entrance
to the Albina shops at any one time.
He said that the strike committee Jeft
the question of picket duty up to the
individual men, allowing them to come
and go as they saw fit. ,
All blame for the present trouble be
tween striking employes and the O-W.
R. sc N. company was laid at the doors
of the railroad company this morn
ing by Fred Ross, chairman of the
strike committee.
CAUSES SENSATION
"If the railroao; company hadn't im
ported paid gunmen from Chicago,
we wouldn't have had this present-difficulty."
Ross told the court.
His assertion created a. small sensa
tion and brought forth a legal battle
between the opposing attorneys. Arthur
A. Murphy for the railroad company
contended that B. A. Green, counsel
for the 14 strikers, had no right
to bring out ,such testimony under
cross-examination .when it was not re
ferred to In the direct testimony.
Green held that Ross' statement I had
been voluntary,, and advised Murphy
that he was not. responsible for the
statements of, the witness. Although
a striker, Ross was a witness for the
railroad cbmpany. , .
STOPPED BT JUDGE
Ross attemptecr later to tell the court
how the strike vote was taken, appar
ently in an effort to show that local
railroad employes had nothing to do
with calling the strike. . Ross started
to say something about orders from
Chicago, when Judge Wolverton stopped
him and said he didn't want to near
anything about the reason for . the
strike.
"It is sufficient for me to know that
the strike was called and that it is
now in progress. he said.
A larger crowd attended the trial
this morning than yesterday. , The in
creased number, of women present was
noticeable. Many of the men appeared
