New York, March 25.-Fifty rail-
roads comprising practically all the
lines east of Chicago and north Of the
Norfolk & Western today refused to
grant an increase in wages demanded
by their locomotive engineers.
The engineers demand, presented on
Jan. %, was for an increase amount
ing to about 10 per cent year. The
railroads refusal is based on the as
sertion that they are financially unable
to bear the increased expense.
The railroads in their reply pointed
out that the proposed increase will
amount to $7,55S,792 annually, which
would be equivalent to placing on their
properties lien of slSS,S44,S1S of 4
per cent security which would have
preference over first mortgage bonds,
"and to just that extent would lessen
