365, 900 Railroad Men Want
Eight-Hour Work
Day
COUNTRYWIDE MOVE
FOR SHORTER HOURS
Without Loss of Pay, and
Time and a Half for
Extra Work

Chicago, Dec. l6.--The fight of 365,000
railroad men for an eight-hour day with
out decrease of wages was launched yes
terday at the joint convention of the
four great railway brotherhoods.
Seyenty-two delegates, representing
gineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Locomotive Engineers, the
Order of Railway Trainmen convened to
frame demands on every railroad in the
United States.
Warren 5. Stone, grand chief of the
engineers, declared negotiations with the
railroad arrangements win be "firm but
friendly" "In other words" he said,
'we're going to the mat but we're not
waving any red flag
Timothy Shea, head of the fremen;
w. G.. Lee, chief of the conductors, and
A. f. Whitman, head of the trainmen's
organizations, announced all internal diff
ferences had been settled and that the
four organizations stand as unit in
their negotiations.
For the first time" said Stone, "we
are meeting at one time. We will first
decide just what our demand will be.
Later we win determine the method of
the demands to the railways"
1t was generally understood that the
principal demand will be for an eight
hour day at the present rate of pay, a
decrease in hours without decrease of
wages.
For work after eight hours, time and
a half pay will be demanded.
Some changes in working conditions
will be sought. The present agreement |
expires April 80 next. Possibility of a |
strike May | was admitted by the dele
gates. They are against federal media
ton on account of the result of the en-.
yineers' award last spring.
The committees which are acting for |
$4,000 engineers, brakemen, firemen and
conductors, will decide whether to submit
The plan to vote of the brotherhood.
The vote would take about 80 days.
Should the proposals be Endorsed and
submitted to the railroads, the latter,
inder present agreements, have 30 days
n which to reply.
This is the first time in the history of
he United States such a large body of
organized workmen has so united for
ONT demand. Should proposals be sub
nitted to the railroads, pressure OF bust
less incident TO the European war, the
abor men believe. would cause serious
consideration of the demands by railroad
fficials. The railroads have given no
Indication OF what their attitude may

Editor on Thirty-Day Fast
Woos Nature for New Stomach

Food has no attraction for Jacob
Pfeffer, a Philadelphia editor. who is
STAYING at the Hotel Chelsea, 222 West
Twanty-third Street. Culinary aroma
from the kitchen, passing him menu,
or even placing siX-course DINNER
right in front Of him, are equally IN
effectual as a temptation. For Mr..
Pfeffer is fasting. Fifteen days ago he
INDUCED in cup custard. Since that
meal" he has taken perhaps dozen
glasses Of water and half a bottle of
yichy.
After two or three days one entirely
loses all inclination toward food he
said yesterday afternoon, as re sat
propped up in his chair with a couple
of pillows. IL could sit down at the
dinner table tonight with Mrs. Pfeifer
and some OF our friends and never
feel the least desire to eat.
How long do | intend TO keep il up ?
Well, unit. | am cured of chronic
stomach trouble which has kept me in
poor health for years. From my study
of my own case, ! should say that
thirty days of fasting would be enough,
although there are cases on record
where persons went sixty and even
ninety Gays DelOTe tHey ndu retuIH
of natural desire for food. That is
Natures warning that it is time to
quit fasting. As long as | have no
desire for food, Nature is saying TO
me: Your stomach is not ready for
business. Let me rebuild your diges-
tive system so that you will feel like
new man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pfeffer, who live at
1926 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. came
to New York yesterday from Butler.
y. j., where he began his fasting while
sojournng at a farmhouse. Although
somewhat weakened by the experiment,
he carried heavy suitcase when he ar
rived at the hotel, and had strength
enough to go out sightseeing around
the city early in the afternoon.
"A six weeks period Of prepa alton
preceded this fast, during which | con-
tinucd TO gradually reduce the daily
quantity Of food" Pfeffer said. For a
whole week before | began TO fast
partook of no solid food except baked
apples or little oatmeal once a day
a cup Of sustard was all | ate the day
before the fast began.
81 lost thirty pounds during that six
