REDUCTION OF HOURS.
To Be Demanded by the Various Rail-

Chicago, Sept. 27.-The Tribune to-
day says: Preparations are under
way for a concentrated movement
on the part of the big railroad broth
erhoods to secure a reduction of the
present working hours of railway en-
ployees all over the country. The
grievance committees of many west
ern railroads will gather at Chicago
in December to discuss the desired
changes in working conditions. The
present working hours on railroads
range from ten to fourteen day. but
in no case are they fixed. The broth
erhoods, it is said, have no intention
of appealing for a limited work day,
but have planned rather to seek a
general reduction which will be pro-
portionate in all branches of the
service.
