NEW YORK, July 22.— Efforts by
Eastern roads' to bring about indi-

were forecast today on the basis of
a statement by L. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad
and chairman of the Eastern presi-
dents’ conference, that the carriers in
this part of the country were planning
to form company unions.
These, he said, would consist of the
new employes and those who remained
at work when the strike was called.
Under this plan whenever future labor
difficulties arise, each railroad would
negotiate separately with its men.
Lehigh Valley officials said that line
already had begun organzing its em-
ployes with "gratifying results.’ ’ It
was understood similar action had
been undertaken by the Delaware &
Hudson and the laackawanna. The
new policy, Mr. Lore© declared, was
suggested by the labor board in a
statement issued July 3.

ation. The Governor spent the' night
here, and after voting early this morn-

Adjutant General T. D. Barton came
here last night and held a conference
with Governor Neff.
After voting, the Governor entered
General Barton’s car and tho two mo-

Asked if he contemplated action In
the matter of protecting railroad prop-
erty ard workers while the strike pro-
ceeds. the Governor said he would de-
termine that question early next week.
He was not sure whether the "open
port" law applied in.the present case.
The Governor declared that he was
considering the situation in all its
phases and would in a few days decide
what his course would be. He would
not indicate whether he would, if uny
action were taken, use the rangers or
the militia. The fact that General
Barton had been to Denison and that
they had been in Inference did not
indcate that he would use the Na •
tional Guard. Neither dll the pres-
ence of Ranger Captain Hickman at
Denison mean that the rangers would
be used.
The Governor was guarded in his
statement that he would determine his
course in a few days. Ha reiterated
