Men Will Work,

The executives claim that they
have sufficient loyal employees to pre-
vent food famine. The brother
hood men today stated that few
men might work, but generally the
roads would be tied up tighter than
a drum.
With dramatic and sinister sud-
denness the crisis arrived In railway
strike negotiations. A break seems
certain this afternoon. There was
still hope, but the last thread was
considered cut when the employees
showed no disposition to accept the
counter proposals of the railways.
The proposals were as follows:
Railways Proposals.
"The plan OF an eight-hour day
is not directly connected with the
matter at issue, and there is dH-
ference between an actual eight-hour
day and the eight-hour day as basis
for pay; -..
"That the questions of increase Of

ticn; --as.

sion or some board to be created by
the president or in some other way;
s'That if the arbitrating board
finds wage increases should be
! granted, their findings will be re-
troactive and the increase will take
effect from the time the arbitration
begins;
"That a fund should be created by
the railroads to provide for this con-
tingency, the interstate commerce
commission to keep the accounts that
| will be necessary, and the arrange
ment to continue in force for time
not yet determined upon, the men
agreeing that during the period of
| arbitration there shall be no further
demand or any further attempt TO
strike .
| Up to Men.
'.The railways put the issue square
ly up to the men," was the way one
official phrased it today.
Some Of the executives said that
while the proposal would not give the
|men more than 20 per cent in wages
provided for, in effect in President
Wilson's plan, it probably would give
an increase Of over 10 per cent. The
proposal in It's tentative form COW
cred over three typewriter pages.
After the vote several OF the execu-
tives made suggestions which the
committee Of eight probably will in-
clude in the final draft.
