RAILROAD STRIKE.
NOT THE PURPOSE.
or THE TRAINMEN
President of Brotherhood
Favors Rate Increase
That Employees May Re-
ceive More Pay.

Chicago Nov. ST would rather
talk a month than strike q minute"
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, In an
interview with the United Press today
thus denied reports that union Off
Gals in conference. here would force
strike OF 100000 railroad employees
tying up every big railroad in the
United States-unless they were grant,
ed substantial wage increases.
Lee said the purpose of the present
joint conference OF the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen and Order of Rail-
way Conductors was to take care Of
employees who were not included in
provisions of the Adamson law. passed
by congress to avert a general railroad
strike. He advocated a rate increase
for all railroads to enable them to meet
the wage advance that will be asked.
FAvoRs RATE INCREASE.
''I believe the railroads are entitled
to a rate increase" Lee told the Unit
ed Press.
TT is not fair that they should be
forced to ask the government for rate
increases SO their employees may have
more money.
''The United States Steel corpora
ton and other big concerns have CIV
en- increase after increase because they
can change prices Of their products
to suit themselves.
"A fraction of a cent per capita OF
the population would help the rail-
roads and put them on their feet. The
railroads are hit by the war the same
as other business and they have no
method of increasing their revenues to
meet conditions. They stand to lose
their skilled workers, in addition, as
more and more are going into military
service every day.
BONUS TO WoRkMEN
II was with the British commission
before coming to Chicago and they
explained to me the system by which
their government is taking care of
workers in the British empire. They
pay a bonus for every workman and
will continue to do SO during the war.
THE railroads will have to obtain a
raise sufficient to provide for an in
crease to the workers, or the United
States government will have to adopt
the British bonus system.
"The Adamson law was passed to
take care of part Of the employees but
many did not come under the provi-
sions of that act. told President Will
son that the employees who were not in
cluded would be taken care of later
