Chicago, Nov. S.-A strike vote
will be taken among engineers OF
sixty-one railroads west. south and
north OF Chicago, including the I'LL
nols Central, following the termina-
don OF the negotiations between the
railroads and grand officers OF the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engi-
neers. which had been on since Sep
TENDER 20. Differences on a wage
increase OF approximately per cent
and alteration OF working conditions
stood between the negotiations.
Grand Chief Warren S. stone. OF
the Brotherhood. who has been lead
ing the railroad men In their de-
mands, said he believed the strike
vote would be unanimously in favor
OF suspension OF work. and that the
englnemon would have expressed
their desire by December 10. I'm

opportunity would be given the rail-
roads TO meet the workers, and II

HEARING ON
LOCAL GRADES
Plan to Abolish Dangerous
Island Crossings.

Before Commissioner McCarro1I OF
the Public Service Commission, In
Manhattan, there Is a hearing being
held this afternoon In regard to the
proposal to abolish grade crossings
at several dangerous places on the
Amboy division of the Staten Island
George and Tottenville.
The three crossings that the hear
ing has been called for are for the
n at Amboy avenue, Huguenot,
Glove avenue, at Grasmere, and
What is known as Crooks crossing,
on Amboy avenue, Great Kills.
In the borough of Richmond there
are in all SO grade crossings, of
which II are protected by gates, IA
by fiagmen, A by bells and IA only
by sign boards. For the two years
and a half from January 1, 1907, to
January /, 1910, according to sta
t~istics, there were ifty-six people
killed and 100 injured in grade
crossings accidents On Staten ISL
and.
This movement to abolish grade
crossings on the island vas started
by Borough President Cromwell and
Commissioner of Public Work L.. l..
Tribus, who obtained the approval
of the Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tionment for an appropriation to
produce a tentative plan. The move
ment Is said to have the approval of
the Staten Island Railway officials.
At the last legislature a bill was
passed appropriatlng $250,000 as the
states quota of a fund to be used for
eliminating grade crossings In the
city Of ew York. OF this amount
100000 is available for Queens
borough end $4,000 for the bor-
ough of Richmond. This means that
