 Wages.

Cleveland, Oho., Dec. 6.-"Impend- ing federal action with reference to railroads will have no effect on the wage demands of trainmen, and con- ductors,' said w. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train i men.
 "The first duty of every railroad man is to win the war; he said. "Our men are asking for a living wage and they expect justice from the govern ment as quickly as from private cor- poration. It makes little difference to the men for whom they work. We have assured President Wilson the railroad men are with him to win the war, whatever may be our relations with our employers.
 No Trouble Anticipated.
 We do not anticipate any labor trouble with the railroads, but in the event that break should come, we have pledged the railroad men of the country to handle every pound of government freight, men, munitions and food, the same pledge we gave the president at the time of the Mexi- can trouble"
 w. s. Carter, head of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen and En- gineers, today went West on buisness connected with wage discussions in his organization.
