Vice President Warren Intimates
That the Company Is Prepar-
ing for the Worst.
QUESTION OF PAY INVOLVED.
Company Willing to Compare
Scale of Wages With That of
Other Roads and Ad-
just Differences.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York April S--The result of the ball
lotfng by the Jersey Central Railroad En-
ployes' associations will probably be made
public Tuesday. Meetings OF the trainmen
and operators were held at Jersey City,
Boundbrook. Easton and other points Mon
day night. Vice President Warren to-day
tntimated that he is preparing for the
worst.
New York. April S.-Neither employers
nor employees have made decisive move
ments in the wage dispute that may termi-
nate with a strike on the Central Railroad
of New Jersey. 1t is expected that the men
will confer within the next twenty-four
hours and by vote agree upon plan of ac-
ton
1t is difficult to take the measure of the
sentiment Of the moving army of men that
railway system employs, but, as far as IT
can be sounded on the Central. the men
seem moved by a spirit of conservatism and
to be inclined to refrain from striking until
every resource of conference and arbitration
has been exhausted.
Charles H. Warren vice president of the
company. speaking for the railroad. made
this statement to-day:
I've are prepared to be entirely reason
able about the matter We want no dispute
with our employees and are prepared to pay
the vicinity.
I'VE have told them that we will take any
seven railroads they designate and. with a
joint committee Or committee to which We
and they shall name outside men, make an
pose pS 1f anS fne sg OF the
the showing made. We have also asked our
men to point out amy specific case of treat
ment that is unfair and agreed to right any
Injustice that may be shown"
MAY BE ORDERED OUT WEDNESDAY.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Wflkesbarre, Pa, April S.-The strike talk
along the line of this division of the New
Jersey Central is strong tonight, and most
OF the men expect to be ordered out before
noon on Wednesday. They recognize the
departure OF their leaders from New York
as the unomcial announcement Of strike.
and all they have to do now is to vote in
favor OF 1t. A two-thirds vote is required,
but the men are SO incensed by their Of
ffcers being ignored by Vice President War
rem that the vote for a strike is likely to
be q good nine-tenfhs of the employees. 1t
is understood that this vote is being taken
tonight. but the men are very reticent and
would not talk about II. The vote. when
taken. will he sent to Chairman Waite of
the board Of adjustment. who is stationed
in Jersey City. and he will issue the order
for strike II the vote warrants It. When
1t comes the men have no doubt that they
will be able to tie up the road so that
neither q car or engine can be moved ex-
cept the mail trains.

eral Tung Flu Sian. the former commander
