RAILROAD WORKERS
UNIT IN ASKING


road whistle hOOted in this country
there is a grand lineup of all train
men and enginemen on one side and
a grand lineup of all the railroad
companies in the United States on
the other side.
Today these two parties formally
began dealing, dickering and writing
to each other about a new scale of
wages and working hours to take the
place of present contracts which eX-
pire in May.
The four big brotherhOods today
sent notice to all general managers
of all the railroads of the United
States that the workers who man
these roads want an 8-hour day, with
time and a half for overtime. The
demand is based on a vote taken
among members of Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Order of Rail
road Conductors, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
and Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. Ballots of members showed
over 81 per cent are for the 8-hOUr
day and time and a half for over
time.
The official notification to railroad
general managers says answer is ex-
pected on or before April %. The
railroads are formally asked to
center into a collective movement"
make one grand get-together, for the
purpose of negotiating with the
workers. This, of course, is under
stood to be purely formal All the
big rail systems are now and have
been for some time joined in a "col-
lective movement" to choke off any
general strike or wage raise.
It's a new thing for the big rail
brotherhoods to go to the front and
battle for higher wages for hostIers.
The Chicago Junction Ry., an Ar
mour-owned line, pays 81 a day to
hostlers who work IL hours a day.
