Chicago, Oct. 26. In Its attempt to vert the rail strike scheduled tor Oct 30, the federal railroad labor board turned to the railroads. The board suggested that the roads temporarily postpone seeking further wage reductions because the board's docket was so crowded that wage decisions could not be rendered before July, 1922. The carriers, however, informed the board that they were "powerless to take any other position" than their present one.

In a formal statement the board Informed tbo carriers that it would not consider 5 any petitions' for wage cuts until the questions of rules and working conditions, now 'before It, were fully settled. The board then unffloclally let the carriers know that since a ruling on wages for all classes could not be banded down' before July, 1922, It would like the roads formally to announce postponement of their plans to seek further pay cuts, taking the attitude that such an announcement might avert a walkout. The committee of the Association of Railway Executives which conferred with the board announced, however, that the carriers would stand pat on their plans to seek new pay cuts on the ground that wages must be reduced before freight rates could be lowered, and that since the strike was called technically In protest of wage cuts already authorized by the board, there was no necessity for the roads to take other than an Inactive part In the strike controversy between the board and the unions. In Its communication to the roads the board declared that If both sides would consider the delay necessary before wages again could be reduced, they would realize that there was no cause for immediate strife between them over this poiut. The unions, not taking into consideration this delay, were crossing bridges before coming to them when they called a strike, the board's statement said.

It pointed out that the carriors had repoatedly urged a quick decision on the rules and working conditions questions now before the board, and that it had determined several weeks ago to settle this matter before taking up anything else.
