TROUBLES OF RAILROADS.
Employees in the West to Demand In
creased Wages.

OMAHA, Neb Dec 11.-Everything
points to one of the most serious railroad
disturbances the West has ever witnessed
over an increase in wages. 1t IS coming
on the Union Pacific system, but is like ,
to spread to other lines.
Representatives Of the various lodges of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen at
points along the lines of the Union Pacific
Railroad in Nebraska Kansas. Colorado,
and Wyoming are in the city for the pur-
pose Of comforting with General Manager
Dickinson and superintendent of Motive
Power Mcconnell.
With the fremen the principal question
relates to the matter Of salaries A fire
man is paid at the rate of so much per
hundred miles. The lowest scale is 2.25
per hundred miles. The contention has
arisen regarding the Introduction by the
Union Pacific of the large engines known
as the 1900 and 1900 class
For firing these engines the Railroad
Company has inaugurated scale of 81 -
per 100 miles for the 1860 class, and 50. IS
per 100 miles for the 1900 class. This scale
has never been accepted by the fremeu and
the protective board will endeavor to press
upon the officials a higher schedule
One of the members of the board stated
that the advance sought is a slight one
but asserted that the fireman VIII contend
for its acceptance on the part of the off
cials of the Union Pacific Read. When
asked if a strike would result in case Tie
advance was not granted an evasive an
swer was given. 1t is understood that the
most important question with the engineers s
relates to an increase in their scae OF
wages for running the large new engines.

because he had informed Speaker Hender-
