Together in Demanding More Pay
for 100000 mcn.
Chicago, Dec. 3.-The Chronicle
says:
With the purpose of formulating
requests for increases of from 10 to
20 per cent. in the pay of 100000 rail-
road employees, committees from four
powerful labor organizations are now
meeting in Chicago. They are hold
ing daily sessions and may be eX-
pected to present their demands to
the railroad officials early next week.
The four organizations represented
by the committees are:
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, membership 41,000.
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, membership $1,000.
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
membership 10000.
Order of Railway Conductors, MEM
bership $4,000.
The four organizations will send
delegates to n national conference,
which will meet in st. Louis, January
5. Then the committees which are
now formulating new wage scales,
Will report upon the treatment that
their requests have met with by the
general managers of the railroads.
1t is the general opinion that dras-
tic action will be unnecessary. The
| railroad managers are showing n dis
position to treat with committees of
their own employees and the chances
are that amicable adjustments of the
wage question will be effected before
the time comes to hold the st. Louis
meeting.
For the first time in eight years
the four organizations are working
in harmony and may be counted upon
to stand together in the possibility
of trouble with the railroads.
1t is announced by members of the
committees representing the organ
izations that requests for increases
in pay will be made by the four or
ganizations from every railroad sys-
tenn in the middle and northwestern
states. Eastern roads entering the
city will be similarly dealt with.
