avert the nation-wide, rail strike
scheduled for October 30, tonight
found governmental agencies, rep
resentatives of the ' public, and
some railway labor unions tak
ing action simultaneously which
all three hope would prevent a
tie-up of the transportation sys
tems. ForemoBt among moves being
made was a meeting between the
railroad labor board and heads
of the five unions, which have al
ready authorized their men to
strike, called for Thursday by tho
board and at the request of Prec
ident Harding, it was said by
board members.
Farmers Tafce Action
The first move by a public Or
ganization to avert a strike came
t?hen the American Farm Bu
reau federation, representing 1,
1250,000 farmers, sent petitions to
the interstate commerce commis
sion askinc an immediate 10 to
20 per cent reduction in freight
rates; on necessities, and an
nounced that it also appeal to the ! road Trainmen; L. E. Sheppard, j go into session. This council

said, and volunteered to meet

tives as a fediator.
Split May Save Situation.
z Meetings to last all week will
be started tomorrow by the 11
rail unions which have not yet
issued strike calls, although most
of them have voted for a strike.
Leaders of several of these unions
announced that at all the meet
ings they will opposa the strike
call in the hope of a split between
them and the five unions already
autnormng a walkout may avert
the strike.
Union leaders called in by the
labor board were W. S. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of

of the Brotherhood of Locomotive

three local memljera of the "b!a of th resumption of relations ana
five railroad hrotherhoods had
accepted a request from the rail
road labor board Uhat th five chief
executives confer with the boird
in Chicago Thursday afternoon;
Telegrams requesting the con
ference were seht to Warren! S.
Stone, president! of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers;
W. G. L.ee, president of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen and
W. S. Carter, president 0f the
Brotherhood of Firemen and En
ginemen, all with headquarters
here. After a telephone confer
ence, Mr. Ston0 announced to
night that the three chief execu
tives had accepted the invitation
and would leave; for Chicago on
Wednesday nighi.
Similar requests, he said, were
sent L,. E. Sheppard, president
of the Order of Railway Conduc
tors, and T. C. Cashen, president
of the Switchmen's Union of
North America, ; with headquar
ters in Cedar Rapids, and Buffalo,
respectively.
Few Comments Heard
It is understood Mr Cashen
will be here tomorrow for a con
ference with the three local ex
ecutives and E. P. Curtis of Tex
as, a grand officer of the Order
of Railway Conductors, who will
represent President Sheppard at
the meeting. Mr. Stone said
President Casheh would accom
pany the three local executives to
Chicago, where they will be met
by Mr. Sheppard.
The local executives had but
little comment t make on the
request for the conference with
the labor board, announcing that
the purport of the meeting was
not specified. j
Referring to the call for the
Chicago conference, President Lee
said: i -
"Of course I will attend. I will
attend any conference that holds
out .the possibility of an open
door to settle, this matter. I
have in mind the homes of the
150,000 men in hvy organization,
and I realize what this means to
them. I will do my utmost to
reach an amicable settlement."

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. 19.
The scene of action in the threat- t hat the case should be discussed

pointed out, bovrever, that there j road strike to begin October 30, j should be arranged. j

j board's July 1 wage reduction or- i with the announcement" that the j ment was unanimously; in favor
aer untu the men walked out.
By coincidence, the fir,t hear
ing at which any party has been
cited to appear because the board
believed it had violated a decision
is set for the same .as tho confer
ence, 10 a. m. Thursday. The
Pennsylvania has been ordered to
appear because it has not held an
election of hop men's represen
tatives as directed by the board.
Further Kvplanation Made
Explaining further the public
statement issued by the public
group in Washington Sunday.
Mr. Hooper said that the board
recognized that there was a "uni
versal demand for reduction of
freight rates."
"Iilsuggesting translation of
the last wage cut into reduced
rreight rates and advising
against further requests for wage
reductions at this time, the board
does not mean that parties may
not come before it with disputes",
he said.
"The suggestion was ' made
merely as a 'modus Vivendi. for
solving the present transroitation
problem.
Hreathing Spell Needed
"We suggested that the roads
cease wage reductions for the
present and reduce" rates as a step
in the revival of industry. We
believe such action would result
in helping bridge the business de
pression and lower the cost of
living.
"Then after the public had
been given a breathing spell the
roads would be at liberty to come
back to the board with further
requests for wage reductions."
Proposals of the American
Farm Bureau federation were
mad known in a statement by J.
R. Howard, its president.
The federation, he said, was
eager and willing to meet with
either railroad executives or em
ployes or with both if anything
can be accomplished in prevent
ing the threatened strike. Tele
grams asking for a conference
t here have been sent to both aides.
Howard's Case Presented
A 10 per cent reduction on bas
ic '; commodities, including farm
products, food, fuel, building ma
terials and possibly ore -would am
ount to between $200,000,000
and $250,000,000, farm bureau
officials estimated. A 10 per
cent reduction on everything,
they said, would amount to ab6ut
$430,000,000, approximately the
amount by which wages of rail
road employes were reduced July
1.
President Howard asserted that
he had presented his proposition
for an immediate reduction in
freight rates at a recent meeting
of railroad executives in New
York. The executive committee
of the railroad executives, h said,
approved the plan, but the Asso
ciation of Railway Executives,
meeting in .Chicago last week vot
ed it down, deciding to press for
a further wage reduction.
Frror by Executives Seen
Clifford Thome, general coun
sel for the farm bureau federation
in a statement, characterized ac
tion of the railroad executives in
refusing a 10 per cent reduction
in freight rates as a "grave er
ror." Practically every great in
dustry and the railroad employes
have been forced to accept cuts
in prices or in wages, he said.
"The time has come," his state
ment concluded, "for the farmer,
representing the public on the
great middle ground to act."
The 11 great railroad unions
which have not yet formally
issued a strike call, although
most of them have voted for a
walkout with the brotherhoods,
will go ahead with their proposed
meetings.
Unions Meet Today
The first meeting will take
nlace here tomorrow when the

Democrats supported the treaties
while two more ( were paired in
favor of ratification.
Prior to the final vote, all at
tempts to amend the treaty or the
reservations reported by the for
eign relations committee resisted.
The latter, which were adopted
without a record vote, provide
that the United States shall not
have representation on the allied
reparations commission or on any
international agency without con
sent of congress. !
Lodge Substitute Killed.
An effort to ; substitute the
treaty of Versailles with the 12
Lodge-reservations was also voted
down, 59 to 25. ;The motion was
madja by Senator King, Demo
crat, Utah, but Senator Lodge,
Republican leader, declared that
the substitute was not in order,
the Versailles, treaty not being
before the senate and moved to
table the proposal.
Another reservation proposed
by Senator McKellar, Democrat,
Tennessee, providing that Ger
many should acknowledge and
accept full responsibility for pro
voking the war, was defeated 66
to 12. I
An amendment; offered by Sen
ator King, declaring against con
fiscation of property of German
citizens, seized by the alien prop
erty custodian, was rejected with
out a roll call.
Prominent speakers today were
Senators Johnson. Republican,
California; Hitchcock, Democrat,
Nebraska, and Pomerene, Demo
crat, Ohio, in favor of ratifica
tion, and Senator! LaFollette, Re
publican, Wisconsin in opposition.
Senator Johnson jsaid he did not
hold the fears of Senator Boran
of Idaho, and other "irreconcil
ables" that the treaty would en
tangle the United? States in Euro
pean affairs.
This danger, he declared, came
principally fromi Secretary of
State Hughes. He said Mr. Hughes
had favored entering the league
of nations and also re-submission
of the treaty of Versailles to the
senate, but that be relied on Pres
ident Harding to avoid European
entanglements, j
