NO WAGE INCREASE PoKEs FUN AT soLoN
TREATMENTS DEMANDS REJECTED
BY EASTERN ROADS.
Higher Freight Rate viii BE Asked
of Interstate Commerce Body
by Rail Heads.

New York, May 3.-The conference
committee of managers rejected here
Thursday the demands, Of the con-
duetors and trainmen on the forty
three roads of the eastern district.
The answer was communicated to a
committee representing the Order OF
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood OF Railway Trainmen at Sc
cret meeting held in the Engineering
Society building.
The managers committee call atten-
tion to the fact that in 1910 the rail
roads, in order to avert a strike, grant
ed the conductors and trainmen an
aggregate increase in wages of $780,
100000. The present increase OF
ST, 100000, the reads point out, would
be equivalent to placing on their prop
critics a lien of $425,O00,00O Of per
cent. securities, the burden of which
would fall upon the public.
The trainmen and conductors may
at later date modify their demands
upon the managers, or they may
elect to take referendum strike vote
among their 100000 members.
The railroads of the eastern terri
tory, having discussed the freight
rate problem. have decided Il ask
the interstate commerce commission
to allow a per cent. increase. on
freight of all character.
