today gave to a committee representing
the 500 engineers and motormen of the
road a refusal of their request made two
weeks ago for nine hour day and other
concessions.
When the company's -eply became
known among the men there was imme-
date talk of strike. The committee
after leaving Mr.. Skitt's Jffice went at
once to telegraph office and sent the
following message to p. M. Arthur grand
master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers
ITO P. M. Arthur, Clevelandf, Ohio
Come at once. Everything refused
Chief jerks of Division No. 105 of the
Brotherhood says of the grievance:
Since the introduction of moter cars
into the service we have been compelled
to make six round trips daily between
10th and South Ferry. consuming ten
hours and travelling on the average of
10S miles a day. On the engines We never
made more than five trips, four and a
half was the usual number. The COM
pany claims that the moter cars being
faster would be able to make the adj
ditional trip. They also say that the
strain on us in running the electric train
is less. The FIRST statement may be true,
but the second is not. We are willing
to make five trips a day in nine hours
and no more.
I'VE also want a rely system that will
give each man a chance to get a bite to
eat and a few minutes to himself at the
end of each run"
