So ROADS WILL REJECT
DEMANDS OF FIREMEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-That fiat
rejection would be the answer OF the
conference committee OF the 90 east
crn railroads who are members OF the
Eastern Trunk line association TO the
demand of the Aremen for more pay
was considered certain when the con-
ference between the committee repre-
senting the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and the adjustment COM
mittee OF the railroads began today.
The firemen's demands were drawn up
on Feb. Is, but because OF the pend
ing demands OF the engineers they
were not taken up until today. They
call for new wages and time schedules
and for better working conditions.
IL was expected that as soon as the
refusal was given the railroads would
call for arbitration under the .Erdman
act. Sc far as a strike TO enforce the
demands is concerned. that Is most
remote contingency at present.

til all pending negotiations have been

The British foreign office is not

With the exception of the official
