Bangor, Me, Jan. 18-Backed by the powerful Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen & Engineers, 150 engineers and fremen on the Bangor & Aroos- took Railroad, the entire engine force struck, today for higher wages in ac- cordance with the almost unanimous vote taken yesterday. Among other things it is claimed accornm cd ations at terminals are unbearab1e
 Commissioner of Labor Neill and Judge Martin Knapp of the Commerce Court, were appealed to by wire by the men to act as arbitrators. The rail road officials declared there is nothing to arbitrate since the claims of the fremen and engineers are excessive. Present conditions it is contended make it financially impossible for higher wages to be granted.
 Hundreds of men from surrounding localities have been hurried1y pressed into service to replace the strikers but transportation, both freight and jas senger, is practically at a standStiH. The first attempt to move trains are expected to be made from Bangor some time this afternoon. The total mileage of the Bangor 6 Aroostook is 62S miles of single track from Northern Canadian border.

 There was a profusion of flowers at the home, mute testin ony of the high regard in which the justice was held by associates and personal friends of the laity. The interment was in Lake view cemetery at the convenience of the family.
 Automobiles of Attorney Arthur M. Marsh and Nathaniel W. Bishop were placed at the disposal of the bereaved family, and these, with Superior Court Messenger Charles Evans and Com mon Pleas Court Messenger Charles Bundock, were at the station to as- SiSt in the direction Of Io IyiS mouners. Most of the out-of-town mourners met at the county court house and left the county building for the bereaved home, at 2 o'clock.
