RESULT AWAITED

Vote So Far Indicates Strike Will be
Called. Which Means General Tie
up in the Observation-Disclosures Say
They Want Public to Understand
the Condition of Affairs.
Local railroad men are deeply in
terested in the result of the iiremens
vote ON the strike problem. The
votes are arriving daily in New York,
and everything indicates that the
strike will be called. The vote so
far is overwhelmingly in favor Of a
general strike, and unless the diff
cultyis adjusted shortly after the re-
suit is announced, which will be next
Sunday, the strike will be declared.
Today the b. & o. and other roads
interested made the following an
nouncement;s
"As it is announced that the count
ing of the strike votes of the 10000
fremen on the fifNefour Eastern rail
roads is now proceeding daily, and as
The railroads concede that the vote
fayors a strike with all its attendant
difficulties, the companies wish the
public to understand the exact situa-
ton
"Railroad employees are as we'll, ii
not better, paid as labor in other en-
pigments.
Railway firemen in eighteen states,
surrounded by many different condi-
tons of work, have combined to ad-
vance demands for increased pay
amounting to 3 per cent upon their
present total payroll in this section.
''According to the recent arbitra-
tion commission in the engineers
case, the average wages of firemen in
the district affected by the present
strike vote are s2.SS per day. Ten
years ago the average was about
SOS. 4F
The average wages Of the tiremen
who are now threatening to strike
have thus been increased more than
50 per cent in the past ten years,
'The present demand is for IS per
cent. more at one step. This would
represent total increase OF 70 per
cent in ten or eleven years.
Wages of other forms OF railway
labor have also been increasing in as
cending ratio
Railroad managers are willing and
eager to pay all classes of employees
as high wages as conditions will per
nit. 1t is indeed recognized that the
firemen at this moment deserve spe-
cial consideration.
But, the wages of railroad labor
can oHly be paid out of funds received
by the railroads for services perform
ed, II those wages absorb con
stantly increasing proportion OF re-
ceipts from this sole source of rev
enue. it is obvious that the public
must pay the bill in the end
"The question the public has TO
answer is:
'iiow long shall this process OF in
creases be allowed to continue?'
