TRAINMEN OFFICERS
TO NEGOTIATE IN
ST. PAUL
Committees Of Conductors
and Brakemen Being I'm
able to Reach settlement
on Double Header Propo-
Sition Higher Authorities
of Their Orders Will AS
sist.

Unable, after many weeks of nego-
dation, to reach q settlement with the
officers of their respective companies
as to the double header" question. the
committees of the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen have now given up
the struggle and passed the problem up
to the grand officers Of those bodies.
The original demand of the employees
of the various roads for 20 per cent
increase has been modified as a result
of the st. Louis settlement, and the
increase now sought is u per cent for
passenger men and Is per cent for
freight men. The discontinuance to a
greater or less extent of the running of
Ouble-headed trains is still insisted
upon.
From the start there was no diff
Guilty as to the question of wages, and
each of the roads was willing 20 accede
TO the increase demanded, but all Of
them baked at the double header
proposition, and, although it has been
reported from time to time that the diff
terences had been nearly adjusted, no
definite settlement has been reached.
j. b. w. Johnson, chairman of the
Northern Pacific committee, which has
been most active of late, was seen at
the Windsor last night by T e
q o b e, and said:
II Is true lQdI the committees nave
abandoned the negotiations and the
matter will now be taken up by the
grand officers of the two organizations.
We have received word that A. B. Gar
retson, of Grand Rapids, assistant
grand chief conductor of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and G. w. New
man, of Cleveland, fourth vice grand
master of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainment, will be here Monday 1
cannot say what action they will be
likely to take, but certainly there will
be nothing further done until they
arrive"
Discussing the past negotiations, Mr.
johnson said: There has not at any
time been any difficulty on the subject
of wages. The companies were all
willing to grant the increase we asked,
but when it came to the matter of dou-
ble-headers, they all baked, because
they couldn't see any way to get even
for the is per cent increase in wages.
With the dOuble-header arrangement
still in effect, they could save at least
part of the Is per cent by making us
do more work. Our complaint is not
so much that wages are too low as
that we are, by reason of the double
headers, doing more work than we are
paid for"
