cline to give out any information. DR..
Marvin said today:
Il have been disappointed so much that
I do not know what to say about the Erie

TRAINMEN VOTE TO STRIKE
Fifty Thousand Men West of Chicago
VIII Quit Work Unless Demands
Are Granted.

CHICAGO, March 19.-Trainmen and con-
ductors on all railroads west of Chicago
have rejected the recent offer Of the gem
eral managers of the systems for an in
crease In wages according to information
reaching the Record Herald. The official
canvass of the referendum vote which has
been in progress for a fortnight will begin
tomorrow. It is stated further that the
trainmen have voted to strike II their de-
mands are not granted. Unless the rail-
road managers offer further concessions a
strike of $1,000 men is likely to result.
When the conference between representa-
tives of the employees and the companies
adjourned February q It was with the
understanding that another conference
would be held after the men had voted
upon the managers offer. This second
meeting is expected to be held next week.
The managers have already offered to
submit the entire controversy to arbitra-
ton, but, It is stated, this proposition has
also been rejected by the voting members
of the unions.
The offer which the men are said to have
rejected was for an increase of 10 per cent
to men in the freight service and Of SIC
a month to conductors, SO a month to bag
gagemen and IS a month to brakemen and
fagmen in the passenger service.
The men originally asked an increase OF
10 per cent, with an elght-hour day or
through freight trains but later these de-
mands were reduced to a wage increase OF
12 per cent and a nlne-hour day. II was
] explained to the men when the vote was
started that a verdict rejecting the offers
of the railroad managers would carry with
It a strike vote. AS the matter now stands
the strike vote has been carried, but nc
order to quit will be issued until further
efforts to reach an adjustment have beer

RAILROAD LOBBY LINING UP
Make Another Descent on Lincoln In
Effort 60 Defeat Terminal
Tax bill.
lFrom a stnr Correspondentl J

LINCOLN, March 1e.-(SpeCial Tclegram)
The railroad lobby again rallied to LIN
coin tonight and by force Of numbers at
tempted to overawe the members Of the
legislature and force the defeat OF the
terminal tax bill, which the sitting com
mittee probably will report at the head Of
the general file for discussion In the house
tomorrow afternoon. The senate bill, which
the committee has had under consideration,
has been amended so that the tangible
property Of the railroads located in vii
lagos and cities Is TO be assessed by the
local authorities and the franchise is to be
assessed and distributed by the state
Board of Assessment This amendment
meets the objections of several Of the re-
pubucans and many Of the fusionists and
has led the giant railroad lobby TO be less
boastful OF its ability to defeat the bill.
The big railroad lobby included tonight
not only representatives or the legal de-
partment, but men from the tax depart
ments and even the freight departments
also have had to let up on the demurrage
bills to help out on the terminal bill At
the head Of the Burlington lobby is w A.
DIlworth and Frank Young while Tax
Commissioner Pollard and w. w. johnson
Of the freight department bring up the
rear to furnish the arguments. For the
Union Pacific Bob Clancy carries the torch,
with Edison Rich. George Holcomb, Tax
Commissioner SCribner and Charley Lane
from the freight department In the process
sion. Ben White represents the North
western, having come down to help out
! Bob McGinnis, the resident lobbyist. White
brought with him Freight Agent Miller Of
] his road. John Wall is among the i'm
| portations, but the ex-chief clerk will be un-
able to do any good for the roads, for Rep
resentatve Baird is already lined up for
the bill, he having told Hon. Peter Morten-
| sen that he was for It.
! The desperate straits to which the rail-
roads have been reduced is plainly evident
tonight by the way the lobby is putting
! in its work. The delay in the discussion
of the bill, however, has helped those MEM
! bers who had been scared into opposing 1t
| by the railroads to see things differently,
and the prospects are bright that a suf-
| hcient number of republicans will keep
their pledges made to the people and vote
| for favorable action on the measure. So
| far as the fusionists are concerned, many
of them have signifed their intention TO
vote with the pledge-keeping republicans,
Notwithstanding the great amount of time
Tom Allen and the railroad lobby have de-
voted to them.
