BRorHERBO0D LEADERS,
To Confer with Northern Pacific Leaders
About the Proposed Wage Reduction.

ADout the proposed Wage Reduction.
TERRE HAuTE, IND, Dec. l2.-Grand
Master Sargent of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive firemen, left this morning
for 81. Paul, where a committee of the
six Brotherhoods in the Federation of
Railway Labor will meet with the Off
Gals Of the Northern Pacific road to
urge that the proposed ten per cent re-
duction in wages be not insisted upon.
If the officials will not yield, the ques-
ton of accepting the reduction will be
submitted to the men. rwo-thirds Of
each Brotherhood must vote in favor of
a strike before one can go into effect,
and this is not probable.
There is also pending 10 per cent
reduction on the Chicago s. Great
Western.
1t is not believed at the tiremen's
headquarters here that the Lehigh man
ayers would undertake to reduce the
wages of the men who were out on the
STRIFE To do SO and not disturb wages
of other men would be plain violation
OF the agreement by which the strikers
were to be taken back without prejudice
