RAILROADS EXPECTING
A WAR OVER WAGES
At Chicago all Railroads are Nerving Themselves for
the Contest Which Seems to Them Inevitable
A Newsy Letter From the Western
METROPOLIS

Chicago. Feb. 2S.-These are
anxiols days for the AZ railroads
having terminals in Chicago and
for the railroad labor organizations
which have headquarters here. Both
sides are nerving themselves for
the contest over the wage scale
which will take place this spring and
which may precipitate the biggest
labor war which this country mas
ever known. A year ago at the
wage conferences held here the
men were granted advances In the
scale amounting to $1OO,OOO,Ooo.
Since then rates have been lowered

way managers declare they will be
unable to continue the prosperity"
scale of wages. Labor leaders on the
other hand declare they will tight
to the last ditch rather than con-
sent to cents reduction in pay.
This promises some lively sessions
for the wage conferences which will
take place in Chicago in April.
Headquarters are already being es-
tablished here by the engineers.
firemen, conductors and trainmen
and word has been sent to all the
local unions to select delegates to
a convention which may be held at
a later late. In the meantime mat
ters will be further complicated by
the investigation into the question
which will be undertaken by
the interstate commerce commits
sion at the recent request Of the
President. The seriousness of the
situation may be realized when 1t
is remembered that there are now
] $40, 900 men employed by the rail-
roads of the country. If any large
portion of these men were called
out on strike II would paralyzs
commerce and probably lead to an
other panIc. more disastrous than
that Of last fall.

buying and selling grain and provi-
sions, would not thank any man
to show him technical point by
which he could evade the obliga-

during these years have seen

one of those women whose gentle.

fills home with sunshine
and love. and when taken away leaves
a vacant place that cannot be filled.

loss. and to the sorrowing husband

it's most heartfelt sympathy.
