railroad, west. northwest and south
west of Chicago, who by vote, au-
thorized their national officers To call
strike If the railroads refuse to
grant wage concessions. Will receive
their answer from the railroads to-

This arrangement followed a con-
ference today Of Mr.. Carter ana the
fIremen's delegation and the railroad
managers committee. OF which W. G.
Nixon, general manager Of the st.
Louis 4 San Francisco railroad. is
chairman. Managers Of nine other
roads were present. The firemen pre-

told that the vote authorized strike

morrow.
Confidence was expressed on botf
sides that strike would be averted
A prominent railroad official said to-
night II was unlikely that the rail-
roads would grant the wage demands
III all the demands of the fremen
were granted. the wages would have

The railroads can afford To pay. More

crease for all other employees Sucf
an increase on the Chicago. Burling.

an additional expense of 100000 an

.At present almost one-half of ths
railroads gross receipts go out for Ia
