100000 MEN MAKE
DEMANDS ON RAILROADS
BY Pac. and lntl News Service.

BY Pac. and init news Service.
NEW YORK, March 31.-The four
great unions of railroad employees,
numbering 100000 men, today made
simultaneous demands on every line
in the United States for an eight-hour
day, with time and half for overtime
at the new higher rate.
In each city where the headquarters
of a railroad Is located the local secre-
tary and chairman of each brother
hood, acting together, presented their
demands to the general manager or
other high official of the road.
They proceeded in a uniform man
ner prescribed by the general manage.
ment of the unions. Their orders were
to sign up Immediately with any man
ager agreeing to the demands, to tell
any official wishing to discuss the de-
mands that this was beyond the local
union representatives province. and
to telegraph the chief executive of the
union without delay If demands were
refused.
1t is generally expected that every
railroad will refuse the demands. La,
hor leaders say they will then refuse
arbitration and call a strike. which
will tie up all the 100000 miles of rail
road in the United States. The result
of this would be disastrous to the pub
lie.
The four unions, the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Fireman and Enginemen
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, the Order of Railway Conduc
tors and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, comprise one-fifth the tota
employees of the roads. but their re
fusal to work would tie up the lines
! effectively.
The railroads have until April 20 tC
answer the union demands. The man
ayers say the changes asked would
cost them $10O,000,OOO a year. The
men put the figure at not more thar
$3O,OOO,OOO.
