Trainmen's Wage Demand
Unfair Says Officials

New York, March 20.-The confer
ence committee of managers for the
eastern railroads, of which Elisha Lee
is chairman. in a statement issued yes
terday ito the 5000 stockholders of
these companies" called the demands
OF the railway trainmen for an eight
hour day and a demand for higher
wages unfair. and added that the
carriers cannot and should not shoul-
der this burden of an unwarrented in
crease of $100.O0O.000 in the wages
of a small minority of their highest
paid employees"
The payroll Of the eastern roads in
1914, it was shown. amounted TO
$685., 100000. of which S1S6.OOO.OOO
went to the trainmen.

who have put $1,000. 100000 of their
savings in the business receive on their
investment about $500. 600. 600 a year.
or per cent" the statement con-
tinues.
These employees, the highest paid in
the service. are less than one-htth or
the army of railroad workers. They
have taken the cream of the big wage
advances in the last few years. If they
force their demands on the carriers, by
threat of q nationwide strike. surely
the wages of the other four-ntths
would require adjustment. Manitestly,
the resources of the railroads would
not permit granting all employees the
same proportionate increase.
