Chicago, Oct. 19.-Preparation for
the various moves through. which it
is hoped the second rail strike will be
averted was completed today, and to-
morrow the peace effort will be in full
swing. Tonight heads of the Unions
and of the carriers were silently alert
with-figuratively speaking-one eye
on the conference tomorrow between
the "big five" rail union leaders and
the railroad labor board, and the oth-
er on meetings of officials of eleven
anions which have not yet joined the
conductors, engineers, firemen and
switchmen. Both sides were agreed
that out of these conferences would
come the final decision as to whether
g general walkout of rail employees
Would materialize,
On the conference with the labor
board rested the possibility of the "big

orders for a walkout, while in the
meeting of the eleven unions, which
actually started today, wam to be de-

(By Delbert Clark)
"There ain't agpin' to be no Strike."
At least, so say the men most directly
pgfected, the union members themsel-
ye. "Of ourse, the thing is right
where we want it, and we're agoin' to
hold out, but the government ain't
agoiU' to let it come. They'll settle
It before it starts." This from the
section hand, with his red and white
A. F. L. badge.
The attitude of the union men is
one of confidence as to the outcome.
"If the roads had cut their rates like
they promised the last time they cut
our wages no one would think of
striking. But they didn't do it. The
only way to settle the thing once for
all, is to make them reduce their
freight and passenger rates, so that
business can pick up. Then prices
will be lower, and we can live on our
wages. We'll get what we want.
They'll have to give it to us."
The engineer looked down from his
lofty perch and said, 'Of course we'll
