OFFER WAS REJECTED.
Missouri Pacific Trainmen Will Not
Accept 10 per Cent Increase.

The employees of the Missouri Pacific
railroad in this city and in fact all rail-
road men and shippers are watching
closely the results of the conference now
being held in St Louis regarding the in
crease of wages asked for by trainmen
and conductors of all roads. The Missouri
Pacific. it is said. has made the largest
offer to their trainmen but this has been
refused.
BY unanimous vote. the 200 train
men and conductors of the Missouri Paci-
fc system have rejected the 10 per cent
wage increase offered, and in effect vest
ed in the leaders of the orders in St Louis
the authority to declare strike il better
terms cannot he made.
The better terms" are said to be the
q per cent increase originally demanded
and the leaders now in the city are en-
rhatic In the statement that they will be
satisfied with nothing less
On the other hand. the railroad officials
state that il Is absolutely impossible to
grant an increase of that proportion and
the demands of the men are unrea SON
able. In case there should be strike
its effect at the present time would be
disastrous for the shippers and the public
81 large.
The roads in the southwest have, il Is
Claimed, more freight than they can con-
forces. and if 1.5oo men leave the Frisco
2.Wo quit the Missouri Pacific and $50
strike on the NJ. X. & T.. and about 500
on the Cotton Belt. it Will work a severe
hardship on the southwestern shippers,
storekeepers and grain men.
The officers of the railroads. admitting
that their lines have made handsome pro-
fits, also claim to show that the experdi-
lures which will be made this year for ey-
tensions and improvements will practi-
cally wipe out the profits. 1t is also /nted
that any increase granted to the train
men and conductors must come out OF
the appropriation for improvements
In addition to this il is predicted by tho
railroad officials that wage-increase de-
mands are liable TO be made upon them
by their employees in other departments.
and even were they able 70 meet the de-
mands of the trainmen and conductors
II is impossible in Justice TO this possible
demand from the others
The consensus of opinion on both sides
Is that the situation has grown from COM
parative insigniiicance into one of consid-
cradle magnitude and Importance
AZ the same time. both the railroad
officials and the labor leaders claim that
there is still possibility of averting

il means high salaries and less routine
work. consequently managers find ut a
difficult task to compete with the con-
tinuoUs houses
