NO BEE IN M1TcHELL's BONNET

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Efforts will be
made by officials of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen to secure con-
ferences with the railroad managers.
at which they hope to obtain further
concessions in the wage scale for the
switchmen.
While the officials of the union re-
fused to announce the result of the
vote on the question Of accepting
or rejecting the increase of 21h cents
for switchmen and 31a cents for fore
men, offered by the managers, it was
learned that the men had rejected the
proposition by large vote.
The men are holding firm for an in
crease of 3 cents an hour and 1t is
said the result of the balloting will be
used by the officials of the union when
they meet the managers to influence
them to make further concessions.
Conference To BE Held.
A meeting of delegates from all the
roads will be held ut the Sherman
House, when further action looking to
the advancement of the demands for
higher wages will be taken. While
the officials and members of the union
are determined to secure their demands
talk of strike is rarely heard in their
ri CREATIONS and it is apparently the
q nion that a peaceful settlement will
be reached
When asked IL q strike will follow
refusal of their demands, the answer
is always substantially given: 1--WE are
only asking what is right; we are de-
termined to secure better terms than
those already offered by the managers
and are prepared to make stand, but
we do not believe the railroad mana
gers will force us to take radical ac-
ton"
Switchmsn's Union Accepts.
While the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen has rejected the proposition
made by the managers, the terms have
been accepted by the Switchmen's I'm
ion of North America. The latter Or
ganization is of recent origin; is made
up of switchmen that have left the
brotherhood, or have been loyal to the
old switchmen's organization, which
disbanded several years ago, and, al
though its action in accepting the
terms of the managers is regretted by
the larger organization, they believe
it will not result in the defeat of their
aim to secure a higher scale.
In case the brotherhood men go out
the railways expect to be able to oper-
ate with the men belonging to the rival
