Change Basis of Pay.
In the past engineers and firemen
on runs have been paid by the hun
dred miles which was accepted as a
days work. Many times the hundred
miles are covered in four hours and
the men loaf the remainder of the
day. The operators propose that
when they pay a man for 100 miles
in other words. a days work-the en-
ploye shall work the full ten hours.
The proposals of the enginemen
will be submitted to the railroads this
week. A demand for an increase of
about 20 per cent for all enginemen
will be asked. Neither side expects
there will be any settlement of the
difficulties without calling in the fed
eral arbitration board. 1t is charged
by both sides that the demands which
have been or will be made are made
with arbitration in view as the final
method OF settlement. Each expects

arbitration tribunal.
There is little likelihood of ~

board has been appointed and has
authority to settle strikes where in
