The board's investigation of th causes of the strike threat ended abruptly at 8:30 tonight when the live union leaders asked permission to make announcements to their men. Executives of the big toux* broth erhoods and the Switchmen's Union :of North America, after a day of ver bal jockeying with the United Stateslabor board, declaied lati today tha no power on earth save a "satisfactory settlement" can prevent theb men walking out beginning next Sun day morning at 6 o'clock. Their declaratio came at the close of a day of fruitless questioning when Judge R. M. Barton, chairman of the labor board, called each union president in turn and asked him f >u prepared questions, the third of which wan*-. ^ Direct Question Asked. "If the board shall decjare a strik* is'not justified and should not oc uv and direct that the employees not strike, wi)l tha^ order be obeyed?" The union chiefs, Warren S. Ston ->f the engineers; W.

Such a settlement, they said, wouh' be* reconsideration by the labor board of its 12 per cent wage reduction older of last July 1, or a movement b' the individual railroads to confer with he unions and set aside the board': order. W. S. Carter declared a sett'emen' should also reimburse the men for the pay lost ^inc July 1, as a result o' the wage cut. The other questions asked th? union leaders were: "Who, or what authority in yonlabor organization can withdraw th< order to strike or stop a strike ? "rfuppjse you, the chief executive of your organization or your execu tive committee issued an ordvt o>- : statement that a strike should nV occur, do you not believe the strik would be prevented ? "Will you, as chief executive, usr vour power and inPuenee to see th i' the orders of the board on the mat ter be obeyed?"
