trainmen on the Western lines, among
them the Santa Fe, are voting on a propo-
sition for q general strike unless the rail-
roads accede. to their demand for a read
justInent of the wage schedule.
So far as can be learned. the sentiment
appears TO be favorable to a strike, al
though this is largely conjectural.
The roads nave all refused to meet the
demand for a 20 per cent increase. although
quite a number a offered to compromise
on a smaller percentage. But the boards Of
adjustment, both for the conductors and
trainmen. take the ground that they have
made a conservative request. in the first
they will not bulge from 20 per cent. This
is an increase of 20 per cent from the sched-
ule agreed on In 1892,
