RAILROADS PLAN TO
 FIGHT ALL DEMANDS
 MADE BY EMPLOYES
tcontlnued from Page One,

settle, apparently, will be the eight hour day as it applies to train crews. Freight traffic only is involved. with time to be based on length of run and mileage per hour.
 MT Garretson in his explanation of the clause affecting trainmen said that under the proposed system they would get 75 cents per hour for overtime in stead of 40 cents as at present. He as- serted that overtime is largely a con- tro1lable factor when 1t becomes eco homie and that under the new system demanded the days pay would remain virtually the same and that only the conditions of obtaining it would be changed
 The question of paying 'arbitraries" waiting time between reporting for duty and going to work-resulted in a discussion led by Timothy Shea of the trainmen He explained that the de- mands of the men called for overtime on run of 125 miles of ten instead ot eight hours. Tn a 150mile run, he said, overtime would not begin until after ? hours and in a 200-mile run not un- til after Is hours. In in 100-mile run or less the men want overtime after eight hours
 Discussion of the proposed hours of work and pay for overtime for switch ing crews and the hostler forces also took up sometime. Mir. Garretson ex- plained that conditions on various roads were not uniform and that the men wanted them standardized. It was asserted that switchmen who now are working on an eight-hour basis have no free time for lunch and that they take an allowance of time for a meal at the company's expense only when working overtime.
 The question of Split tricks which means working two hours day with a layoff for several hours then again reporting for duty, was brought up. It was contended that most split tricks" should be at night or over time rates.
 Now that the demands have been read into the record and have been gone over in detail arguments and ac- tual negotiations respecting the de- mands will begin.
