Louisville, KY, Feb. 10. Especially
May at Louisville is the date set
for the Republican state convention to
select delegates-at-large and alter

Twelve Southern Lines Have
Proposed Cut Including

All Others Have Called Meet.
ings With Engineers.
WILL RESIST 1T

Chicago, H., Feb. 19.-Nearly
score of the big railroads in the
United States have asked their organ
lied employees for a reduction in
wages. The demand is believed BY
the employees to be a forerunner of
gigantic movement all along the line
TO cut wages.
Twelve OF the big southern roads,
including the Southern railway. Louis
Vile & Nashville. Mobile & Ohio and
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis,
have proposed a reduction.
The Buffalo and Susquehanna asked
for cut of 10 per cent for two
months, and in the event that it was
refused the agreement between the
railroad and its employees would be
abrogated. The employees refused to
grant the reduction and the agree
ment will be annulled March /.
The Chicago Great Western receiv-
ers have also called meeting of all
employees for March 3, in st. Paul, IA
CONSIDER accepting less wages.
Representatives of all the trainmen
Iof the Southern Railway company
have been called to meet President
Finley in Washington, Friday. to talk
over a cut in the wage scale. The
men affected are engineers, firemen,
conductors, brakemen. baggage mas
tiers and switchmen. Conferences
with the machinsts have been in pro
gress for week past.
The Washington Agreement.
All ether big roads in the south
have called conference with the en-
gineers only for the same purpose.
The engineers last summer secured
an increase from these roads.
This is called the washington
agreement, and covers the wages ON
1.-THE Mobile & Ohio. Louisville & Nash
willie, Norfolk & Western, Nashville,
Chattanooga G. st. Louis, Southern
railway, and practically all other
southeastern roads. The Southern
railway is the only one so far calling
in all the different branches of en-
lployes.
A circular was received in Chicago
giving these facts. What little was
learned of the circular was that the
trainmen had voted to resist any, re-
ductions whatever.
ut required fourteen months dur
ing the greatest prosperity to secure
what we now receive" the circular
states. Now the roads, after only
two months of hard times, ask us to
give up what We were conceded. We
WI resist to the bitter end"
