MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 16.-At a meeting in
Muncie tonight fifty Chicago & South
eastern midland striking railroad men re-
fused to accede TO a request by the COM
pany TO return TO work, and the men will
continue TO wait idly for the pay car, now
four weeks overdue. The road has not
turned a wheel for fifteen days, and not a
man has been on duty except in the gen.
eral offices in Muncie. The company AYERS
that there has accumulated along the line
about coo carloads of freight, ard it is anX-
ious to have it moved.
The men were asked TO steam up the en-
gines and handle this work, taking the
whole receipts. The plan was for the men
to turn over the collections to the former
treasurer of the company and let him dis
tribute the money as il was collected; in
other words, for the road to be operated
on cooperative plan pending the arrival
or the pay car. Some men favored this
plan, but the vote stood about 80 to >
against returning TO work until a settle
ment of back pay is made.
