PQ __THEMICHIGAN DAILY_ TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1940 Hoej Brotherhood Offers New Propositlion Negotiationm Hurried Beore ['icee ndsI By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 20---Hope for a compromise that would avert a nation-wide railroad tie-up rose to- night as A. F. Whitney, president of Uhe trainmen's brotherhood, present- ed a new "proposition" and other rail labor sources said prospects of a set- tlement "look good." Whitney told reporters he made his proposition to government con- (iliators seeking to settle the wage dispute before a five-day truce ex- pires Thursday. The conciliators, in- cluding John R. Steelman, presi- dential adviser, kept busy in separate negotiations with union and carrier representatives. Talks With Negotiating Committee Steelman met with Whitney and Alvanley Johnston, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for more than an hour at midday. He was reported talking with the car- riers' negotiating committee during the afternoon, and presumably the union "proposition" was taken up then with the carriers. At Cleveland, another person fa- miliar with labor matters but who de- clined to permit 'use of his name said: "Things look good in Washington." Possible Settlement Wednesday He said a settlement by late Wed- nesday appeared possible. The White House said Steelman was hopeful. Steelman was trying to work out some compromise before asking both sides to resume joint negotiations. The unions have boiled down their demands to an 18 per cent increase, with a $1.44 per day minimum boost, while the railroads were willing to go only as high as $1.28 or 16 cents an hour as had been recommended by a presidential fact-finding commit- tee.
