ITO GRANT INCREASE

Firemen Will Meet Railroad
Managers Committee Next
Tuesday
Especial to The Farmer


New Haven, Feb. 4.-The N. Y, N.
H. & H r. r. Co, with the other
members OF the Eastern Railroads, to-
day authorized the following state
ment, made through the conference
committee of managers:
Eff the railroad 6remen in the East
crn territory carry out their threat to
strike over $4,000 miles of railroads
in the United States will be tied up.
Their decision won't be made pub
lie before February 18th, when the
men are expected again to meet the
committee of railroad managers.
More than 5O.000,000 people de-
pend on these railroads. These same
railroads pay annually for labor over
$500. 900, 000-more than a million and
a half every working day. There are
about 100000 employees on the rail-
roads in the Eastern territory. Every
one of these would be affected by a

greater Importance. >
ITO preclude the possibility of a
waIk-out and to make sure of an
equitable settlement, the railroads Of
fer to have the controversy settled by
a representative commission of disin-
terested citizens. The f1remen SO far
have refused to do this.
I'm order that it may be understood
why the strike vote has been taken,
it should be made clear that the rail-
roads in the territory have offered
their men a minimum wage of $40
day in passenger service; The pres
minimum is paid on but few roads.
TN through freight service the rail-
roads have offered a minimum of
$2.75 per day. They have also offered
increases of 10 and 1 3 cents per day
on certain freight engines. All fire
men working on freight engines now
receive at least $2.45 a day.
Some firemen in through freight
service for instance are paid as high
as $3.50 day. In fact, there are
cases on some of the very large en-
gines where their pay is even higher
than that.
