CHICAGO, July 22.\u2014Chairman Hooper, of the Railroad Labor Board, was on his way to Washington last night for a conference with President Harding which administration officials hoped would be the basis for peace negotiations in the National Railway Shopmen\u2019s strike.TRYING FOR PAECE (Associated Press Despatch) CHICAGO, July 22.\u2014As the railroad strike today entered its fourth week, negotiations for peace took a new turn and expectancy turned to Washington, where chairman Hooper, of the Railroad Labor Board, was called for a conference with President Harding, and to the efforts of six leading railroads to make separate peace with their striking shopmen.A conference between W.L.McMenenen, of the Railway Labor Board and Secretary of Labor Davis, at Mooseheart, Illinois, also was regarded as a possible producer of a peaceful gesture.Reports from half a dozen cities that approximately 18,000 clerks and other railway employees had voted to walk out and new indications that Canada was facing a shopmen\u2019s strike added to the war talk, however, as did President Grable\u2019s statement that any railroad that refused to meet with committees of maintenance of way men to adjust wage differences would face a strike of these workers.A new note in the demand of CANADIAN CREDIT GOOD, SAY BANKERS Quarterly Meeting of Investment Bankers of America Being Held

appeared to hesitate about coming out of the shadows and were apparently preparing to force a window when Constable Gauvreau called to them.His query was greeted by a couple of bullets, one of which passed clean through his right thigh while the other bullet entered behind the right shoulder and came out at the left side of the neck.Gauvreau retained enough presence of mind to fire a shot from his own revolver but it evidently went wide.He managed to drag himself along Council Street for a distance of about a hundred yards but weakened by the loss of blood he stumbled and fell face forward in the roadway.It was nearly three hours later, at about 5.20 a.m.daylight saving time, that the unfortunate man was discovered.Mr.Ludger Biouin, an employee of the \u201cRecord\u201d, who lives on Council Street, heard groans and immediately got dressed and went out to investigate.He found Constable Gauvreau in a terrible condition and immediately telephoned to the Police Station.Chief Couture

view) the ambuscating would have to be near the river.It seems more reasonable to suppose that Rogers made his last stand on the then high ground covered with primeval forest, just east of where Mr.W.R'.Webster now lives on Dufferin Avenue.This position, with the bend in the river there would have been at that time an ideal position for an ambuscade, and meets all the requirements of the circumstances.The G.T.R., has cut through the high ground and the forest is no more.Again, considering the morale of the Indians after the engagement, the Magog River (and not by wav of Little Forks) would have been the natural line of retreat of Rogers to the New England settlements.E.B.W.Sherbrooke, July 21st.RY.SHOPMEN IN MONTREAL AUDITORS BRYCE, J.H., L.A., C.G.A., Auditor, ! 186 Quebec St.,
