Raise.

Information comes from Pittsbure
that the meeting of the protective
board of the Brotherhood of Locomo-

hotel there during tbs past two days,
has developed into a demand for
higher wages. A committee from
the board called on General Manager
l.. F. Loree of the Pennsylvania
lines west and proposed higher rate
|of wages for the fremen. The de-
mand was taken into consideration.
but no answer was given, and until
the railroad officials are heard from
the men will not say what they may
do.
The conductors, brakemen, switch
men and baggagemen in the Broth
erhood of railway trainmen are con-
sidering the propriety of making a
united demand for an increase in
wages Vice Grand master j. ].

demand is made and refused nothing
like tie-up could occur without the
