A GENERAL RAILROAD
STRIKE THR1I8ENEO

In an effort to reach some agreement
on the demand Of 10000 members Of
the railway brOtherhoods for an 8-hour
day, representatives Of the trainmen
and of the railroads of the country are
holding continued sessions in New York
City, commencing few days ago. The
workers are represented by prominent
union officials from all parts of the
country, and the railroads Of the United
States are represented by seventeen
prominent railroad chiefs.
The weapon Of concerted strike
throughout the United States and Cam
ada hangs over the arteries of distribu-
tion. The great unions of trainmen
have combined in the latest movement
for more favorable working terms
These organizations cover every road
north of Mexico, and they are powerful
and well organized.
of an eight.hour basic work day. This..
if put into effect, would increase the
payrolls Of the railroads by some $780,
100000 a year.
The demands were put to a vote Of
the membership of the trainmen =
unions, and they carried nearly unan
imously. The demands were presented
later to the railroads of the United
States, and were as nearly unanimously
rejected.
1t is generally conceded that there 10
no force big enough to settle the differ
ences without a strike except the gov,
ernment. It is accepted that neither
side is blufiing The unions made their.
demands after long consideration, and
the railroads will never of their own vo.
lition grant the demands of the men, ik
is certain. ~
