RAILROADS
UNABLE TO GRANT
ENGINEERS A RAISE
Say They Are Financially
observation-disclosures
Is Refused.

Ayerring that the railroads in what
is known as the Eastern division" of
the United States are financially unable
TO bear the additional expenses which
would accompany an increase in the
wages of the locomotive engineers in
that territory, a committee of vice
presidents and general managers of the
nifty railroads concerned today notified
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engl-
neers that its request for such a raise
cannot be granted at this time.
From New York has come the answer
of the railroad officials to the brother
hood. What action the latter will take
remains to be seen. Since January -,
1912, the engineers and the railroad Of
ticials have considered the proposition
of the former for an increase in wages
amounting to 1853 per cent. After nu-
merous conferences and meetings, the
answer of the officials today was MADE
public.
Refuses Request.
The committee of managers and vice
presidents has quarters at so Church
street, New York city, where it Is meet
ing the brotherhood officials.
In view of the fact that the present
rates Of wages are as Il rule full and
liberal and as the railroads are finan-
cially unable to stand the increased eN-
penses involved, it is evidently impos-
sible to grant the requests which sou
have submitted is the substance of
the answer which the railroad officials
have made to the engineers.
Railroad Resources.
Continuing, the answer, as directed to
w. S. Stone, grand chief engineer OF
the brotherhood, says: The ability of
the railroads to meet the recurring de-
mands for increased wages is measured
by the net results of their operation,
and the sum of the obligations which
they must meet to maintain their
solvency. The reduction of the net
revenues by the constantly increasing
expenses of operation have so mar
rowed the margin which is essential to
the solvent existence of many of the
roads that further increases in operat-
ing costs are viewed with grave con-
Germ"
The committee then gives a table
showing that while the gross earnings
of the railroads in the division in ques-
tion increased $18,559, ,659 in 1911, there
was a decrease in net earnings of ST.
$4,000; and while 8197 less men were
employed, the total wages increased
$39. .416S02

financial disaster cannot proceed un-
checked" the railroad authorities con-
