CLEVELAND. Ohio, Nov. 12.-Not
less than so per cent of the 80 900
members of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Engineers who are demanding in
creased pay from SO roads in the west,
have voted to strike unless their re-
quest is met. This is the statement
here tonight of heads of the Brother
hood, who. with it's grand chief
Warren Stone, are receiving returns
from the locals whose membership
have participated in war dealings
which have been under way for days.
Pending the complete count of the
ballots no member of the brotherhood
would consent to be quoted but it is
expected that within three or four
days the result will be announced
The engineers recent conferences
with representatives of the railroads
at Chicago asked for advances of pay
from 10 to is per cent. They were
not offered within six per cent oi
their demands and the strike vote re
suited. In case it proves to be as
predicted. Grand Chief Stone will re
open final negotiations with the roads
and not until all efforts at agree
ments have failed will war be de
clared.
