The total subscriptions for the
Eupport of the Y. M. C. A. the
coming year amounted up to yes
terday, noon to $8376. While
this is approaching the sum ne
cessary, yet much more remains
to be done by workers, aa it is
well understood that the final
work In securing pledges is al
ways the most difficult.
The committee In securing
funds received the first day of
the campaign three pledges of
$250 each. It is believed others
who are able to give in propor

provided there is assurance that
In all, eight leading financiers of
the city give $250 each.
With three , already pledged,
and two tentative pledges provid

thought that-three more who are
able to give will come to the res

Somebody Must Move
Union leaders said the board
had net presented anyth n which
they looked on as in any way a
tangible proposition.
l"It'B somebody's move next,"
said the head of one of the larger
of the five organization. "Whe
ther it's ours, the board or tne
roads, I don't Know. I only know
that the i board brought us here
and talked for 1 ours without pre
senting anything we could even
consider as a compromise. The
meeting was absolutely wltTiout

I Other Meetings Possible
Members or the Loard said that
while the conference had ended
and no Imediate plans had been i
made it still was pnsible to hold1
further meetings with the labor
men before the schedule 1 walk
out. "The board l determined to go
as far as possible under the law,"
oni member said, "and if it to

' . Optimism lurking
None of the boarc member?
would Indicate an optimistic view
of the day's proceedings. Some
memebrs were Inclined to the view
that even Issuance of a strike or
der was tantamount to a violation
ot a board decision and that the
brotherhoods could properly be
cited to appear before the board
for a formal determination as to
whether I Its orders had been de-
fled, i
"TheJboard feels it is much bet
ter informed on the situation and
we hope some way may yet re
sult from the board's inqu.ry,"
said one member.
Board; members said that the la
bor chiefs remained inflexible in
maintaining that the fight was one
for! the life of their organizations.
Difficulties in the crises were de
clared by the union men, it was
said, to: be the fault of the car
riers, the brotherhood men hold
ing that many railroads had
board's ! orders. They made i'
clear, however, members said
mat iney aia not consiuer taest
violations the fault of the board
but due! to the fact that the trans
portation act "had no teeth."
I Session Vn satisfactory
Continual alleged violation of
the board's orders had convinced
the employes they were quoted a:
saying, i that there would be nr.
end to encroachments on what the
railroad worker considered their
rights. Prior statements of tb.4
brotherhood leaders have repeat
edly asserted j that the question of
working rules, which they said,
they had been years In working
up, was the crux of the situation.
Practically nothing was said in the
conference about the 12 per per
cent wage reduction, which was
the technical basis on which the
strike was called, it was learned
Members of the board said tbey
did not consider that the board
had exhausted its powers and that
an executive session would be held
tomorrow when further procedure
would be determined.
, Return to Headquarters
w. S. Stone, president of the
trainmen, W. G. Lee, president of
the enginmen, W. S. Carter, presi.
dent of the firemen, returned to

C. Cashen departed for Buffalo,
headquarters of the switchmen's

The executive committees of the
engineers, firemen and of the con
ductors now are in session. The

Reserves Assembled
Reports to the department In

have been busy assembling re

permit the department's relief
work, it was pointed out, to be

caution and would limit the dan

The cases before the Interstate
commerce commission, involving

Cairy Out PUn
The notice of the strike was
delivered after R. D. Frame of
San Antonio, system chairman of
the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, had received word
from W. G. Lee, grand president
of the organization that the strike
be carried out as previously
planned in accordance with the
vote of the men.
Members of other labor organ
izations on the International and
Great Northern, it is understood,
will remain at work until 6 a. m.
October 30, when organizations
on other lines plan to quit work.
Must Operate
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct.
20. Warning that the railroads
must operate in this state regard
less of the strike, was sounded
today by Governor Robertson in
a special message to the public
given the Associated Press.
Volunteers will be found to
operate freight trains at least.
and the state will be justified in
taking possession of these prop
erties and operating them in the
interest of all the people, should
occasion demand, the message
stated.
AH sheriffs, chiefs of police and
other peace officers were directed
to (prepare themselves for any
emergency, ' in the matter of pro
tecting life and property and
maintaining order throughout the
state."
land with the ending to tonight's I gram now In progress of forma-
conference, a union man close to
the brotherhood chiefs said he ex
pected the next step to be taken
trom Washington.
"The labor board has, of course
forwarded a full report of the
conference to Washington," he
said. "It there are further steps
toward conciliation, they will be
taken there. The unions will do
nothing further."
Ikxii d Is flayed
Union heads expressed opinion
that "if there were any concrete
results oC the conference they lay
in the fact that the minds of the
labor board members were dis
abused of the idea that the unions
were not sincere in calling a
strike."
"When we went in there," said
one chief, "the board seemed to
be of the 'opinion that we had
been bluffing and were just wait
ing for some one to dissuade us
from carrying out the strike or
der. "Believing thl3, the board had
virtually nothing to offer in the
way of a settlement plan. Its
members talked a lot, but actu
ally had little to say of any im
portance, merely tryinl to get u
to change Our plans.
lllurfing Denied
"They seemed to think we
could stopi the strike until we
made it plain that it could not
even be considered and there
must be a j settlement satisfactory
o us or the walkout will begin at
3 a. m. October 30.
'We hope some angle will ap
pear with; a plan to avert the
jtribe. but there were no such
angles at today's meetings.
"The chief result of the con
ference was that the labor board
knows we: are not-bluffing, and
re know that they had no real
plan to offer." , H
Stone Sees No Change )
The only signed statement from
a union head was from Mr. Stone
It simply said:
"The situation Is unchanged,
and I suppose I might add that I
don't expect one angle of it to He
changed even in heaven, lor if I
get there ;i expect to still have a
hundred newspaper reporters
chasing me around for signed
statements.
Tire eleven "standard unions
which have voted for a strike bht
have not Called one, marked time
today, taking no action pending
the outcome of the labor board
conference.
Several Sessions Held.
The maintenance of way. chair
men held several informal ses
sions, the; only inkling of Jheir
attitude be;ng a. remark Iby a
high official "that this organ!
tatlon is going to let the other
fellows start the ball rolling be-
iore doing any pushing."
They will meet again tomor
row as will the shop crafts and
other organizations, but there is
little likelihood of a decision be
fore Saturday or Sunday, it was
said. ;
Chiefs j of these organizations
expressed keen interest in the
labor board conference, but re
fused to comment.
Order Ready
NEW YORK, Oct. 02. The of
ficial strike order issued by the
executive heads of the big four
railroad brotherhoods and the
Switchmen's Union of North Am
erica at Chicago, has been re

gineers, conductors, firemen, en-
ginemen, switchmen and trainmen
would be affected by the proposed
walkout in the Metropolitan dis
trict, which includes all territory
within. a radius of 52 miles of

Cabinet Members Optimistic
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. The
note of utimism of official d:s
cussion of the threatened railroad
str.ke was more pronounced to
day. Several cabinet members ex
pressed confidence that the "cool
ing off period." which has inter
vened since the strike call, had
served to lessen the danger of a
national tie-up.
Adm nlstration officials when
informed of the termination of
the conference at Chicago be
tween the railroad labor board
and the union chiefs tonight, de
clined to comment, preferring it
was explained to await full report
of the proceedings.
Preparations Made
One definite development, how
ever, was the announcement that
preparatons had besn completed
for the coordination under the
comerce department of plans for
the transportation to essentials
should the strike go into effect.
After a conference between
President Harding. Chairman Mc
Chord of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and Acting Attorney
General Goff, the Impression was
given that an order could be ex
pected from the commission put

Secretary Hoover, in announc
ing that; the department of com
merce was prepared to serve as
a focal point for efforts of state
and municipal governments to as
sure movement of food, fuel and
other primary commodities in the
event of the strike, indicated mo

tion would be used to supplement
