Threaten General Tioup.
Washington Aug. f. Threat of
absolute fiiralyzatiou of the country
i hangs over the railroad strike situa-
I tion administration officials admitted
today after thorough study of the
I telegram of the chiefs of the big rail-
; road brotherhoods asking for a con
ference with President Harding.
Disturbing significance was at-
tached to the following paragraph of
the telegram:
''Wo fear that a continuation of
these conditions will Inevitably result
in our members as a mutter of self-
protection being drawn into the con-
troversy and we greatly deplore such
a contingency."
"Those coudiOHis" . include Uy
danger to thn safety .of jinitherliood
members through .deterioration "f
locomotives violation of ..safety status
and rules the refusal of the railroad
executives to accept the Harding set-
tlement proposal and tlie "plain in-
tention" of the railroads to crush the
shop crafts unions tho telegram
enumerated.
Administration officials believe tho
telegram is conclusive evidence that
tho big brotherhood chiefs fear they
cannot hold their 1250.000 members
in line much longer and that a settle-
ment must be reached to avoid com-
plete stoppage of transportation;
'I hat President. Harding realier

strikers to Washington. Bert. M.
Jewell president of the shop crafta
union; William Johnston president
uf Ihe machinists' union and James

have a new offer to make to the
strikers more nearly acceptable tu
the railway executives. :

chiefs in compliance with their re-
quest for an audience to lay thoir
