CHICAGO, Sept. 15.?Refusal by
a number of the country's biggest
railway systems to enter into the
Warfield-Willard-Jewell plan for
ending the shopmen's strike on the
basis of separate and individual
agreements developed an element
of uncertainty today over the sCope
and effectivenss of the peaccf program.
While some of,the larger-Systems'
had flattly rejected the pjfin, others,
/notably the Chicago (m Northwesterh'^and
the ChicagcwMilwaukee
'& 'Qt Paul, had virt&ftlly completed
arrangements for''re8torlng
BtrfkerS at once to 'theli4" former
jobs udder terms of the separate
settlement plan.
Negotiations were in^progress
f^yith several roadB.in.an effort by
"several shop craft officials to ef foot
additional settlements. < '
Strike leaders were said to be-dd*
dressing - communications to some
of the unwilling roads asking them
to reconsider their rejection of the
plan.
About fifty roads were generally
understood to have accepted the
settlement proposals with the B.

Affecting Coal
WASHINGTON Sept. 15.?
Concern over the inability of railroads
to. move coal and farm
products expeditiously was understood
to have been expressed by
members of the. President's cabinet

portation system and the belief
was expressed that the partial
settlement of the shopmen's
strike would alleviate to a great
extent the conditions that now
exists. Opinion* prevailed that
coal prices would be high but the
government officials wiere confident
there would be no coal shortage.
