a CONCERTED DEMAND TO BE MADE ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY.
Oakland. Cal. Oct zS-According to interview.
to-day with heads OF railroad unions and union
members. a demand will be made upon the South
ern Pacific within the next thirty DAYS for m
creased wages. which will affect more than thirty
thousand employees Both the men and union off,
cals are 10th TO speak Of their plans and purposes
but admitted that concerted demand IS to be
made not only upon the Southern Pacific COMPANY
but upon twenty-five other roads west OF Chicago
for increased wages. In the last SIX months the
membership OF the United Brotherhood OF Railway
Employees among Southern Pacific employees has In
creased more than 100 per cent.
II is estimated that before the first OF the year
the Southern Pacific system alone. there Will be
twenty-five thousand members.
The chief cause OF the demand is the increased
cost OF living They also recite that all the rail-
roads doing from One-rOUrth to One-third
business now than formerly. and that their profits
are COTrespOndingly larger
The third given is that owing TO the
heavier equipment In by nearly all the railroads
the employees are compelled to do more work than
formerly.

TO REFUSE TO HANDLE COAL.
STATIONARY ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN
TO SEE THAT THEIR MEMBERS GET
THEIR PLACES AGAIN.

Chicago oct 23-P-esldent Morton Of the Inter
national Association Of Stationary Engineers and
Firemen stated to-day that all members OF the
association all over the country would be ordered
20 refuse handle any anthracite coal until every
member affected by the anthracite strike is rein
stated on the basis which the miners returned TO
work.
The brotherhood has a membership of 14.OoO. and
has local unions i'm ia towns and cities including
Chicago. New-York Boston, Philadelphia. Cincin-
natl Cleveland. Baltimore. st. Louis. Kansas CITY
Denver and San Francisco. President Morton de-
clared his organization in position 10 shut
out hard coal in all cities where it had local unions
and said such action would be taken II necessary
for the protection OF members of the union who
had lost their places on account Of the anthracite
coal strike.
This is President Morton's view OF the situation:
According to all reports from the Eastern mines
our men are getting the worst OF It, ana wniie me
cold our orEanization does not nropose allowing
its members TO be victimzed, and cannot call
in possession OF the jobs win attempt 10 secure
the reinstatement of our members by shutting out
anthracite coal wherever we can.
While negotiations looking toward a settlement
were on we did not wish TO interfere in any way.
although We feared our men would get the worst ot
the bargain. We have supported the miners in
every manner during the strike and believe the ac-
tion Of the iremen and engineers in quitting work
helped materially to win the fight A.,
Although, II is true. a majority or the nremen
are members OF the miners union because they
were forced into that organization, they nave re-
tained their membership in our union and have al
ready asked for our assistance We propose 10
cf the executive board. when action will be taken
looking to that end.
I will advocate that our members be ordered to
refuse to handle anthracite coal. and as, 10 my
mind. this is the only method that Will bring the
operators TO time, I believe the board will adopt
my suggestion
President Morton said that when the Shamok!n
convention Of the miners held previous to the
strike. President Barrett and Secretary Mullahy of
the State district Of Pennsylvania, were present
in the interest of the hremen and asked what
protection they would receive provided they went
strike in sympathy with the miners
According 10 President Morton they were advised
to get into the miners union but assured the
miners would stand by them. He is of the
opinion that the miners have not lived up to their
promises strictly.
