DENIED BY MORRISEY.
No Truth in Story About Western
Trsinmen's Rejection.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, March 90. F.
Morrisey. grand master of the brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, said today there
was no truth in the report that the train
men employed on roads west of Chicago
had rejected the wage scale recently Of
fered by the general managers of the vari-
Gus lines. and, a result, that the men
had voted to strike if their demands were
not granted. Mr.. Morrisey said that while
1t was true that a vote was being taken
on the offer of the managers. the result OF
this vote could positively not be decided
before next Tuesday.
Mr.. Morrisey will go to Chicago early
next week to be present when the votes
are counted.
The officials of the Brotherhood of Train
men generally express the opinion that an
amicable settlement of the wage question
on the western roads will be reached and
that the possibilities of strike are very
remote.
