General Managers Presented Demands
by Local Committees of big
Four" Brotherhoods.

New York. March 3O.-Business
men all over the country are organi-
zing a formal protest against the
threatened strike of railroad en-
ployes. This protest will eventually
reach President Wilson.
General managers of all the i'm
portant railroads Throughout the
United States were greeted today by
local committees of "the big four
brotherhoods of railroad employees
representing 100000 men. who pre-
sented to them the united union de.
mands for an eight-hour day, and
time and a half for all overtime.
Despite the seriousness of the sit
uation there has been no bitterness
shown by either side.
Considers Wages Adequate.
ference committee OF managers, east
ern conference, issued the following
statement, which efnbodies the chief
features of letter presented to the
heads of the four brotherhoods of
engineers, traInmen, conductors, fire.
men, and enginemen, by the managers
Of railroads in the eastern territory:
The present standards Of rates and
working conditions have been largely
fixed by mediation and arbitration
and this company feels that they are
adequate and even liberal to their EN-
ployes. This company has no desire
to change either the existing rates of
pay or the working rules.
an the last article Of their pro-
posal the men reserved the right to
accept any part of any settleme mt
that appears to them advantageous or
reject any portion that does not so
appear to them and also to combine
new rates with old conditions or old
rates with new condltions-that is
the cream off both crooks.
The railroads make no counter
proposal to their employees. what
the railroads ask for is an open door.
In such fundamental recognition
OF the wage basis as is proposed by
the employees, the railroads insist that
they have the right to demand a frank
discussion of the rules and reCula-
tions interviewer in the present wage
structure"
All four OF the brotherhoods oppose
arbitration in any form. The conten-
ton of the brotherhoods all along in
regard to the eight-hour day has
been that IL penalty was fixed on
the use OF overtime, the railroads
WOULD see to 1t that there would be
little or no overtime.

that the alleged disability Is ineurable,
Justice Crane stated:
'1f this be a correct statement of law
