Peace Pact Urged.
Representatives of business and
shipping organizations are working
hard for arbitration. or for some other
peaceable means of settling the issues.
This is the first time all the different
brotherhoods have been linked to-
gether in q wage demand, and the rail-
road officials are aware of the serious
ness of the situation. In Rock Island
the men hope for a settlement with
out break. hut here as well as else
where the employees will be guided by
the orders that will come from their
national headquarters, after the result
OF the strike vote has been recorded If
strike comes, it is believed the or
der will be issued Labor day.
S10O,OOO.O00 Increase
The railroad companies declare that
the demands of the men, if complied
with, would mean a 500. o.000,0 900 in
crease in the labor costs of the roads
of this country. Higher freight rates
would be inevitable, the officials say.
Business interests want congress to
take some action to avoid a break, and
authority for an investigation by the
Interstate commerce commission has
been asked
The attitude of the commercial and
shipping organizations, it is stated, Is
that if the changes asked for by the
men are warranted, this should be
proved by an investigation that will
show which side is right.

Tight-Hour Working Day and Time
and One-Half for Over Time

More than four hundred employees in
Rock Island are preparing TO act I'M
der orders that will be issued follow
Ing the count OF the strike vote to be
made in New York early in August
The strike vote has been completed
but the Official count has not been
made.
1t was learned today that there are
275 men employed by the Rock Is
land lines living in this city who will
be affected One hundred employees of
the Burlington and 80 of the Mil
waukee road are awaiting the an
nouncemeut of the official count, pre-
paratory to complying with its edict.
Three hundred thousand members of
the four train service brotherhoods in
the United States, involving engineers,
fremen, conductors, bTakemen and
switchmen, have recorded their indi-
vidual opinions on the plea for an
eight-hour work day and time and one
half for overtime Blanks for this
vote were sent out several weeks ago
Rock Island members of the organ
izations have cast their ballots. Al
though no official statement has been
given out. it is reported the strike
vote in Rock Island was similar TO
that recorded in other parts OF the
country overwhelmingly in favor Of
the demands made by the men.
Arbitration Involved.
The question of arbitration is in
volved. The railroad companies some
time ago suggested that the issues go
to federal arbitration under the New
lands act, but it is understood the men
do not favor this proposition.
They claim that arbitration may de-
feat the prime object of the move, the
securing Of an eight-hour day in rail
road service. This is given first con-
sideration in their demands, and is
planned TO end the long hours that are
imposed on railroad employees, accord
ing to the men, the present 10-hour
day. they say, frequently is stretched
into a II or 13-hour day, with no ex-
ira compensation for the overtime. An

BALL PLAYERS TO

American Federation of Labor Writes
Roger Bresnahan Asking His
Views on Plan.

Chicago, Feb. Tt is rumored,"
which is the very best way of starting

The ball players are well organized
at the present time. The Baseball
Players fraternity, headed by David
Fultz, a former player and now a New
York attorney, has gained but little
recognition from the magnates. A few
years ago the frat demanded certain
revisions in contracts, mostly relative
to purchasing uniforms, and the
changes were made. The rules the
frat wanted already were observed in
the American league. Fultz has tried
at various times to gain his ends, but
even in the face of the Federal invasion
succeeded in obtaining but little.
The frat never got any too far be-
cause many of the players refused to
join. The Philadelphia Athletics al
most to a man held out, saying they
had plenty of faith in Connie Mack and
his fairness They did this when world
champions. This was rather rough on
the rest of the players, when those
at the top of the profession refused

baseball during recent years. When
