Washington July 28. Isadora of
thn railroad striker have agreed
with President Harding to a bast of
settlement ii ml ilio qtiHHtlon of peace
now In up to thn railroad executives.
Thin wax learned today from tho
highest offltlul source os T. DeWltl
Cuyler ihulrinan of thn American
Association of Kullway Executives
Issued a call for a conference of 148
railroad presidents In New York next
Tuesday.
The answer of the railroad to the
new pence proposal framed after the
president spent the entire day yester
lay In discussion of the rail sltua
lion with leaden of thn striking
tdiopmen aud the executives will re-
sult from this meeting.
Here's Settlement Outline.
An authoritative outline of the set-
tlement plan drawn np at the white
house and approved in general by
thn shopmen's leaders follows:
1. The shopmen to return to work
at once.
2. The railroad lahor board to
grant a re-hearing of the cases In-
volving wage reductions and other
working conditions which brought on
the strike.
3. The railroads to agree to abide
by the orders of the labor board pro-
hibiting railroad)) from having repair
work done In private contract shops.
Compromise Worked Out.
A compromise 1s understood to
have been worked out on the trouble-
some seniority question by which
the strikers will not losa their senior-
ity rights but will be placed Just be-
low the comparatively small number
of men who declined to go on a
strike. Strike-breakers now working
at the shops will be placed below the
strikers wlwn they return to work.
Some diHputed points regarding this
plun may be submitted to the rail-
road labor board.
Harding held a total of four con-
ferences yesterday two with Cuyler
and two with Bert M. Jewell presi-
dent of the shop craft workers and
the six international presidents of
the union. He is understood to have
Induced both sides to submit a basis
for negotiations. His first conference
' was with Cuyler from whom he ob-
tained a program which he placed
before Jewell and the other union
leaders.
The Cuyler propobal did not suit
the union leaders and it is under-
stood that Harding urged them to
submit a program of their own. This
the leaders did later in the day after
a conference at their hotel.
Bert M. Jewell will resume his con-
ference vrith the president at noon
it was learned.
Arrangements have been made for
the entire railway delegation to leave
this afternoon for Chicago.

world when it was built is slowly
sagging under the weight of its
traffic burden after forty years ser-
vice New York engineers reported

One of the huge steel cables that
supports the bridge and tons of
traffic that goes over it each day
has slid from its saddle according
to the report which was made to

Orders were issued to elevated and
surface lines making it compulsory

ures will be taken up soon by the
board of estimates he aald.

petitive fields to meet for a peace parley in Philadelphia Thurs-

experience of three army officer
and four newspaper men who last
night flew from Washington to New
York and return In the giant army
dirigible the C 2.
For more than an hour the big
ship its radio apparatus out of com
mission was lost in a dense fog over
New York harbor. By the narrow
margin of 20 feet It missed a high
New York smokestack due to the '
quick work on tho part ot the pilots.
A short time later the powerful
beams of a searchlight on a harbor
patrol boat saved the C-2 from crash
Ing Into the Whitehall Building at.
the liattery New York harbor.
A proposed flight over New York
City had to be abandoned because
the fog hung so low over the sky
scrapers.
On the return flight the big ship
was again lust In the air for two
hours and was forced to descend
and fly about GO feet above the Dela-.
ware river In order to reach Wilming-
ton. .
The ship was In the air nearly 14
hours and its motors worked perfect
ly. Captain William Ketner in
charge of the craft said the Tog en-
countered was the worst he had ever'
experienced. ...
Clouds were encountered soon after
leaving Washington late- yesterday.
The C-2 skirted the end ot Baltimore
and then In inky black darkness flew
on with the pilot watching the radio
compass. Suddenly thousands of
tiny lights burst out of the darkness
and the ship passed over Wilmington
through a gap in the clouds.
The fog became extremely denso
Just after the C-2 passed Philadel
phia. Coney Island finally was sighted
and the pilot decided to follow the
elevated line into New York. About
this time the radio failed. Suddenly
Just ahead a big black smokestack
loomed up.. !
Captain Ketner shouted orders to
Sergeant Albrecht then piloting tho
ship.
Albrecht Jammed on levers mak
ing tho big ship swerve sharply to
the right and It seemed almost to
graze the smokestack.
Orders then were issued for more
elevation. Finally a bright light
stood out of the darkness. In the
hope of establishing' a bearing the
big ship came down. ' The light was
shining from the Statue ot Liberty.
For nearly an hour the C-2 was
lost over New York City. It was un
able to obtain any answer. to radio
calls. Finally after hovering over
the city at an altitude of about 1600
feet' powerful search lights from the
Battery were switched on. Using
these to establish its bearings tho
eturu trip was started.
The big ship was in the air con
tinuously for nearly fourteen hours
and air service officials believe the
flight demonstrated the practicability
of a night air mail service despite
the narrow escapes at New York.
These dangers would be averted
by a systematic use of powerful
searchlights it was said.
