Plan for railroad strike settlement discussed in Washington
Washington Aug 16 Hopes for a settlement of the railroad strike by mutual agreement were high as President Harding began a message to Congress. Four Brotherhood leaders meet New York executives while six striking shopscraft unions follow by night train to attend the tent conference. Officials linger over a three class seniority plan and possible federal receivership as a final option. The safety order demanding locomotive rules be enforced is expected to sober executives and strikers ahead of tomorrow's joint conference.
