Dispute Railroads Statements
President BrO1rHs Tie7cs.

The explanation given by the railroads
of tho payment % higher wages 20 the
swttchmen and others in chicago than are
paid 10 the men on the Eastern roads. 20
the effect that the switching work in chr
ca=O was more complicated and required
a better class OF men. was declared yestsr-
day 10 be ridiculous by the officers OF the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen- 18th
Vice President MurdOck said.
This explanation might go With lay
men. but 10 any one who knows anything
soout raiIroading il is all wrong The
reverse is the fact New York requires
the best OF everything. Some Of the men
I'm Chicago who are paid higher wages
than the men here could not hold down
their Jobs long IN New York
Mr.. Murdock asserted that on a. least
one Eastern road the wages paid TO switch
men were oue-half those paid for doing
the same work il Chicago. he would
sot give the name OF this road. he said.
out OF respect 20 the men.
But the wages here are lower all
around ne said The Pennsylvania Rail
road switchmen and ysrdmen are paid -
cents day less than the men in Chicago.
II Is the same on the Erie. The New York
Central pays 10 cents a day less for better
work. and the discrepancy Is greater on a
number OF other roads
The demands will probably be made
about January ;. and the vote in favor OF
the demand fOT higher wages will De can
vassed by the executive COMMITTEES OF the
trainmen ar the Lexington Hotel on De-
cerber Is. There will then be confer
ences for perhaps a month. so that We are
still a long way from strike. but I am
convinced that there will be no strike"
1t is known that the companies have
been aware all along that the demands
were 20 be made and have been getting
ready for them With regard to a claim
that the additional cost Of living tustiies
higher wages, W c. Brown, president OF
the New York Central Lines. said:
'If IL Is true that there is an increase IN
the cost OF living since the general and
very liberal Increases IN railroad wages in
the latter part OF 1895 and IN the early
part OF 1897. then the men are justified IN
asking for an Increase. II no such increase
In cost OF living has taken place the men
cannot ask for higher pay There is not
railroad in the country that can afford 20
pay higher wages without getting higher
rates. II the men were 20 get higher pay
they would have 70 wait until higher rates
were made effective"
