More than a thousand railway union leaders. representing l.bOO.OOO railway em ployes, will convene In Chicago to morrow in an tffort to prevent a tie up In the nation's transportation system. These union leaders will decide whether the workers shall abide by the United States railway labor board's order slashing wagon 12 per cent; whether there ahaV be a walkout permitted, whether further efforts Hhall be employed in seeking a con)- uromine arrangement.

Union leaders declare a walkout could not be declared at the scheduled eon'erence because auoh an order would have to be back up In many instances by a referendum vote of members many of the unions whloh as vet have not ex pnetajeoV their sentiments by bait- lot. The executive council of the fed erated Shop Crafts has called the nix presidents of the crafts to hurry to Chicago. The shop craft workers have voted to re.1e.ct the wage cut Other railway unions which have already tnken a referendum vote include the metal workens, signal men, stationary engineers and main- tejinnce of way men- There will be representative.

This decision held that no separate agreement en wages or working conditions made by any group of railway employes, shall have force against an agreement made with that class of employes as a whole. When flhe conference of the railway workers hears was first called for Chicago, the, 12 per cent, wage slash was to be made operative July 1, That condition has been modi- fled by the railway labor board, ex tending Indefinitely the national agreement obviating any slashing In cases wuiere the railways and work-era have not been able to get together on a new wage scale and working agreement. This means that, In the majority of cases, 12 per cent, out will not be made operative tomorrow, as originally Intended.
