B. AND 0. TELECRAPHERS
DEMAND BIG INCREASE
Railroad Heads Consider Raise of
SO Per Cent to Be
Excessive.

BALTIMORE. September 29.-Follow-
ing close on the heels of the strike of
part of the telegraphers on the Penn
sylvania railroad, owing to the refusal
of the company to acceed to their de-
nands those at work on the Baltimore
and Ohio have also made demands.
These include an increase in pay and
some change in working conditions.
A committee of the Baltimore and
Ohio telegraphers took up the matter
with the railroad officials, at which the
whole subject was discussed. 1t was
pointed out by the railroad that the
pay demands of the telegraphers would
mean an increase of over 90 per cent
from the present basis. This was re-
garded as excessive and the confereeS
of the railroad at the meeting made
a compromise suggestion
This was not satisfactory to the
telegraphers' committee and it is un-
derstood this committee has asked and
secured permission to call for a strik ke
vote unless their original demands are
complied with. 1t was said today that
the matter may be amicably settled by
submitting the issues to arbitration
The telegraphers have agreed with
the railroad officials to submit their
differences to the United States board
of mediation of which Judge Chambers
is the head 1t is hoped the matter may
be adjusted through this channel and
strike avoided.
