Meet Railroad Managers in

BIG CONCESSION INDICATED.
Outlook Is for a Peaeeable Settle
ment-Railroads Make Rate OF
% Cents on Dressed
Beef and Live Stock.

Before January 1, 1905 the railroads Of the
West VIII have 70 face demand Of the
united body of trainmen west Of the Mis-
sissippi River for shorter hours and in
creased wages.
The Indicates, are that the railroads will
make big ose-essiOn, and that both the
trAinnen A.; the fsllroads will meet the
question T.. <SsA q manner as to avert a
strike.
Railroad officials Ia St Louis admit that
they have knowledge Of q plan upon the
part fthe trainmen 10 force ths issue. In
fact they state that the trainmen are so
thoroughly organized and well equipped for
q contest that there IS no way out except
70 grant them everything that conditions
The tTainmen who. so far have been up
on good terms with the managements CT
the various roads. while not admitting that
they have definite plans or that they will
make demand. state that in no case can
there be necessity for a strike. Their stale
meHts agree with those OF the railroad Of
hcials, that no single railroad Is in To-
sition TO meet the demand TO be made. To
place the question before the railroads. II
will be necessary TO bring the manage
lnents Of the railroads together for a con-
ference with the representatives OF the
trainmen
When a demand is made now BY any class
OF employees Of railroad for an increase, IL
Is met with the statement that the road
upon whom the demand is made would be
50; that the road IS willing TO agree 10 the
same hours and 10 pay as much as any
other road doing business in the same part
of the country. This much the various
roads have granted, until the only move
left is to bring about a meeting OF the
railroads through their representatives with
representatives Of the trainmen. II can be
stated as a fact that an effort will be made
70 force such meeting, and that It viii
be successful. The majority OF the roads
state that they are willing to short Sl hours
and agree to general scale II al roads
can be brought into such an agreement.
The limit of what Is possible TO be done
under the present conditions has been
reached. Railroads in St. Louis within the
last six months have granted increases
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars, and express their willingness to
meet all reasonable demands. The rela-
tons between the railway trainmen and
the railroads west of the Mississippi River
were never better than at present; times
have been prosperous for the railroads, the
employees are ready for share OF the in
crease. and the railroads appear to be will
ing TO give il to them.
