New York. While both the shop craft unions and the railway executives of the country are trying to settle the rail strike without reference to th question of "seniority" the bugaboo of both sides there can be no adjustment without restoring to the men the same relative standing, in the shops that they had before the walkout. There can be no compromise on this point No matter on what basis it may be announced following the meeting of the railway executives in this city to be held soon, that an understanding has been reached and that the men are going back to work, their seniority rights are going to be re stored or the strike will continue. Two weeks ago the polley commit tee of the three divisions of the shop craft unions held a meeting in Chica go and decided on the basis on which they would permit their men to return te work. They accepted the original peace proposal made by President Harding, granting them their unim paired seniority rights. This committee Is composed of ninety general chairmen, representing all of the railroad systems In the United States. The executive committee of the shop crafts has no authority to go beyond the terms which the policy committee reported would be acceptable. If a compromise was to be considered.

Legislation by congress to regulate distribution and prices of coal during the winter was declared Tuesday by Secretary Hoover to be necessary even though operations soon are to be started in the bituminous and authracite fields. The suspension of work in the coal fields now In the twentieth week has so lowered coal stock, Mr. Hoover said that not even Immediate and reasonably full production will remove the necessity of some measure of regulation during the next six makes its months, when greatest drain on coal supplies. The federal coal distribution committee the commerce secretary pointed out.is functioning with voluntary forces and as an emergency agency and hence cannot continue to direct distribution indefinitely. Mr. Hoover also saw the need of imposition of some statutory control of coal prices during the winter or otherwise coal prices might become unduly high Price control by voluntary agreement, Mr. Hoover said has been suc cessful in some districts, but In many districts ot late Individual operators have shown a tendacy to break away from the maximum fair price levels. Means of checking the price situa tlon resulting from competition be tween railroads and public utilities for fuel were considered Tuesday by federal fuel distributor Spencer and the Central coal committee. Officials said the committee was working towards a policy of more special pri ority orders for coal shipments to rail roads and public utilities which would give such fuel movement a right of way over coal moving under general priority. Blanket priority orders, it was an nounced, have been issued for the shipment ot coal from the Alabama fields for the relief of railroads in the Southwest running out of St. Louis and lines in Illinois running out of d Ogden.

Settlement In part ot the bituminous strike and prospects of an agreement to end the suspension of work in the anthracite fields has brought the government face to face with a new problem the matter ot controlling tl)e prices of the augment ed coal supply. The government, during the general suspension ot mining, has used car supply as a weapon to enforce the price agreements to which the produc ing4 operators subscribed at tho be hest of secretary Hoover; but, with new mines opening daily, the federal fuel distributer has been confronted with the possibility of a breakdown In the control exercised over prices. Whether the present system can be extended to the mines now being opened is a question which la being giv en serious consideration by officials Some of President Harding's advis ers, notably Secretary Hoover, are known to feel that congress should De asked to enact some sort of price con trol legislation to prevent skyrocket ing of coal prices as the result of a shortage caused by the miners' walk out Belief has been expressed in some quarters that the president would Include such a request in his message to congress on the industrial situation. The federal distribution committee asked whether grain elevators should be classed as public utilities, as representations hae been made that the operation of lary elevators in Kansas City, Omaha, WlcJlta and other middle Western cities as a matter of considerable urgency jow, grain shipments being at their peak. The committee was said to hold that the needs ot elevators come within the Jurisdiction of the various state fuel administrations. Federal Fuel Distributer Spencer pointed out that importations of British coal had shown a tendency to lag because of the higher prices it commands compared with domestic coal, and declared that "there Is a real need for all British cargo coal, and It should of help to meet the requirements many consumers in New York and New England." WAR DEBT TO RECEIVE ACTION May Prompt to Settle Long Rail Meetings Being Held quate and Seeks a New Plan to Make Rulings of Board what sacrifice may be necessary. Stating that sympathetic railroad strikes had developed and impaired interstate commerce seriously, the president said that trains deserted In the Western desert had "revealed the cruelty an contempt for law on the part of some railway employes who have conspired to paralyze transportation." Assserting that the striking unions in some Instances had not held their forces to law observance, Mr. Harding said "there is a state of lawlessness shocking to every conception ot American law and order" and an nounced his intention to Invoke laws, civil and criminal, forbidding conspiracies hindering interstate commerce and requiring safety in railway service. In declaring positively for the right of men to work the president said that in both the coal and railroad strikes be necessary for Bert M. president ot the shoft craft unions to vail a meeting of the policy committee to pass on the question. That he has not done so makes It clear that the only proposition which the 148 railway executives will have to consider Is a settlement of the strike with the men returning to work with seniority rights as they stood prior to July 1, when the strike was Jew-CS- would called. The unions are willing to permit the railroads to announce that a settlement has been reached which Is equitable to both sides, and even to make it appear that the railroad executives gained some valuable concessions and that they are going to keep the promises originally made that the "loyal" employees would hold seniority rights above the strikers. As a matter of fact, according to one of the union officials, most of the men who did not strike stood high on the seniority lists before the strike was called. In many Instances the men who headed the seniority lists did not strike at all. They refused to obey the strike order because they feared to lose their seniority and pension rights, which they had earned through many years ot continued employment. These men. of course, will retain their seniority rights. After a frank discussion of the whole matter in the conference between the union officials brotherof the five transportation hoods, acting as mediators for the shop crafts, and the committee of railway executives last week. It became apparent that the seniority nightmare was only a bad dream after all and could best be settled by lgnorlng .it There was a private understanding, however, that men who did not strike would hold seniority rights over the men. who walked out only when sucr rights existed before July 1.

"Surely the threatening conditions must iuipress the congress and the country," the president went on, "that no body ot men, whether limited in number and responsible for railway management, or powerful in numbers and constituting the necessary forces in railroad operation, shall be pejpnit-te- d to choose a course which 'so Imperils public welfare." The president declared a national investigation for constructive recommendations as to the conduct of the and coal industry to be imperative recommended a government commission to advise as to fair wages and conditions. Immediate legislation to establish temporarily a "national coal agency" with necessary capital to purchase, seel and distribute coal also was urged liy the executive. act Stating that the in establishing the railroad labor board was inadequate, being with little or no power to enforce its decisions, the president recommended ac. tii m to make the board's decisions "enforceable and effective against carriers and employes alike." Other legislation recommendations were for "better protection of aliens and enforcement of their treaty rights," through a measure to give federal courts Jurisdiction In protecting aliens. In discussing the coal situation the president referred to what he termed the "shocking crime at lierrin. 111., which so recently shamed and horrified the country" and added the incident was "butchery of human beings wrought in madness." Other than the amendament to the s law to make the railroad hoard's decisions enforceable, the president did not recommend any legislation to deal immediately with the . railroad strike. In asking for coal legislation, tTjJP president said the administration had lought earnestly "to restrain profiteer.
