wages and a standard wage scale thru
out the eastern territory.
The action was shown by the re-
turns received in Chicago yesterday by
President w. G. Lee of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and President
A. B. Garretson of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors. The canvass of the
returns will be completed today. Every
tally sheet received from the various
eastern headquarters of the two unions
showed majority on each railroad in
favor of demanding higher wages,
shorter hours, and modification of
working conditions.
The work of examining and tabulat-
ing the returns was done at an all day
session of the officers of the two unions
held at the Lexington hotel After
completing the work President Lee and
President Garretson will leave for their
headquarters in Cleveland and Cedar
Rapids. respectively, and make prep
arations for formally presenting the
demands to the railroads. This will be
| done early in January.
| About 125,000 conductors and train
men are involved in the eastern and
New England situation. The proper
ton approximately is one conductor
to three trainmen. One of the cardi-
nal demands to be formulated is that
all railroads shall pay the same scale
of wages for the same class of work
and that standard scale for trainmen
and conductors similar to that prevail
ing on western railroads shall be in-
augurated in the east.
| The demands for an increase in
wages will average 10 per cent over the
present scale. A ten hour day also will
be demanded and overtime pay for all
work above ten hours. At the present
time the scale on eastern roads varies
from s210 to s3.65 per 100 miles for
freight conductors and from $1.20 to
| 81. go per 100 miles for brakemen. About
| twenty-five different wage scales are in
force.
