AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. U.S.A. RAIL STRIKE. REFUSAL OF PRESIDENT’S TERMS NEW YORK, August 2 The executives of 148 of the United States railroads, by a vote of 252 to 2, have rejected unqualified bv Presi-’ dent Harding’s suggestion that the railroads should take hack the strikers with their seniority rights to promotion intact, and should accept, with limitations, the -President’s remaining suggestions, namely, the withdrawal of any pending lawsuits against the strikers, and should abide by the future decisions of the Railroad Labour Hoard. The Executives have demanded that their rights go to the courts in future* on any matter, as in the past, be
guaranteed. In their reply to President. Harding, the Executives declared:—-“We cannot consider any settlement of the strike which does not provide for the protection in their present employment of the ‘loyal’ employers, who have remained in the service during the strike, and of the new employees wo have chosen to fill the strikers places. A settlement on the President’s full termN would result in a situation more disastrous than this or any strike can produce.”
