NO ACTION IN RAIL! UNTIL CO Washington, Aug. 9 (By the Associated Press).?Heads of striking railroad unions marked time here today while awa'ting the arrival of ept?(eu-. tives of other transjxirtatipn-lahor organizations who h^ve hpen invited to the general conference Friday to consider the shopmen's reply to President Harding's latest proposed basis for settlement. Congressional loaders meantime were considering the possibility that President Harding in the evont of tne failure of his elfort might seek a legislative remedy for the country's admittedly serious industrial ailment. Republican leaders at tile capital, however, held the view that the president had no denite legislative program in mind when he suggested to them (h.> durability of maintaining (.ill membership attendance when the house reassembles Tuesday. Their inquiries along this line, these leaders said today, have satisfied them that congress would be called upon if the situation warrants such action in the view of the executive, to enact remedial legislation. It was the understanding in Republican circles that congress would be informed of the actual situation in a presidential message if, and when, it was called upon to act. President Harding, according to union spokesmen, took cognizance of the development at Jolict, where train scrvice employees walked out today because of conditions arising from the shopmen's strike, by calling If. E. Wills, W. N. Doak and Arthur J. Lovell, Washington ngenui of three of the four brotherhoods, to disonsa t>? reassembling of the house thai t! ey decided not to send telegrams tc Republican members insisting upor their attendance. They will permh their Republican colleagues, it wat said, to determine for themselves whether they will be present. Upon being advised of the press dent's suggestion, however, Represen tative Garrett, the Democratic leader from his home in Tennessee sent telegrams to all Democratic members urging them to be present when the house meets Tuesday.
