Representatives Of 10000 trainmeu

sumed their conference today with
the general managers committee, rep
resenting the roads They declared
that the men will not recede from
their demand for a reduction OF work

without reduction In pay.
The railroad representatives were
equally firm. The general managers
declared today they would not cons
sent to the mems proposal Fnrther-
more, they insisted that they will moi
appeal for Federal mediation If Tho
employees carry out their threat I'd
strike The employees, too. declare
they will not ask for arbitration
Each side believes IL will have public
opinion in its favor In event or an
actual strike. The railroads insist
that recent railroad legislation re.
garding equipment has cut their earn
ings to such an extent that they cam
not meet the demand for reduced
hours. The men reply that since
wages of employees Of eastern roads
have been increased. their conditions
could be bettered without cutting too
