With the officials Of practically
all the big railroads running west
from Chicago talking more favor
ably and some of them asking that
matters be arbitrated, local men,
bers of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
road Firemen did not walk out to-
day. The decision to call a strike
Of the $4,000 or so members of the
brotherhood was reached In CHI
cago about midnight, after a long
session between President Carter
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers and the ex-
ecutive committee of the firemen.
The session lasted all night.
Dispatches from Chicago today
state that there is still hope of set
tling the difficulty satisfactorily
without general walkout, and
that the call to strike among the
railroad firemen has been deferred
till the latter part of the week, at
least. At midnight last night the
chances for a satisfactory settle
ment seemed gone.
1t is the general impression here
today that about the only hope Of
preventing the strike, even now,
with the walkout order deferred, is
that of possible federal interfer-
ence. The railroad officials have
the interstate commerce commits
sion and Labor Commissioner Neil
to act as mediators under the Erd-
man act.
Questions of wages and two
working rules are the rocks on
which the opposing sides have
split. The railroad managers are
willing to arbitrate the wage ques-
ton, but not the working rules.
These, they hold to be matters of
discipline and not debatable.
When the union officers return
to their territories from the con-
ference it is possible the strike
may be called. Spokane's repre-
sentative is due the latter part of
this week and the strike may be
called the first of next week.
One of the rules provides for
promotion of firemen from SEMI
ority in service, while the other Is
a demand that the firemen shall
have a representative on all en-
ployees' committees involving en-
gineers' grievances.
On the other hand the unionists
demand arbitration upon the rules
questions and will not submit to
