 NO WAGE DEMANDS

Cleveland, Ohio. Nov 25.-Timothy Shea, acting president of the Broth erhood of Bremen and Enginemen. commenting tonight on reports of threatened railroad strike, declared that it is neither the purpose nor the spirit of the Cleveland conference to discuss a strike"
 "All we will consider here" assert ed MT. Shea, is MT. Hines time and half proposal for overtime. I know that discussion or action on a general strike to force general wage increases is not on the programme here. I be- lieve I can safely say that it will not be possible. if indeed it is attempted. for any faction or group to stampede ahis conference into vote on a gen. eral strike'
 The director generals offer is in re- sponse to the brotherhood's request for a general wage increase of ap- proximately fifty per cent. It grants time and one half for overtime in slow freight service, provided arbi- trary allowance now given in many of the schedules in effect, which create double or more payment for the same hours, are eliminated.
 It was said tonight that the pend ing demands of the firemen and train men for general wage increase was informally discussed at today's ses- sions.
 Outside of the overtime offer the re- quest for a general increase in wages made by the Brotherhood of Bremen and Enginemen and the Brotherhood of Trainmen. several months ago, to meet the high cost of living, has not been answered by the director gener- al.

New York, Nov. 25.-A hunger strike was coupled with a silence strike today by 7s radicals at Ellis Is land in an effort to have removed an iron barrier separating them from visiting relatives.
 The barriers were erected after dis covery that several reds planned to escape by exchanging clothes with friends and after some visitors had passed revolyers to the radicals.
 In a letter to the house irnmigra- tion committee, which is in New York Investigating the immigration and deporta ,yca system, they reiterat- ed that they would not attend de- portation hearings held by immigra- tion inspectt and would hunger strike in ad6l jon. Three calls to the dining room were unanswered. Drink ing water and oratory had been their only diet tonight for 24 hours.
 About half a dozen voluntarily at tended hearings bal joined in the hunger strike. One attended hear ing, but refused to answer any ques- tions
 Byron H. Uhle, acting commission CT at the island, asked the advice of the local United States district at torney as to whether hearings could be held without the presence of the radicals.

R. R. WORKERS TALK
 OF GENERAL STRIKE
Locals in Various Sections Are Insistent On Nationwide Strike Dec. Denial Made By Leaders.

Chicago Nov. 25.-National leaders of the four great railway brother hoods held a secret session today at which the insistence of many local unions that general strike of all rail- way workers in the United States be 'called by December 1 to enforce de- mands for general increase ill pay, was given serious consideration. ac- cording to information obtained to- night from union railway men. It was said by one official that many of the delegates who are now in Clevelnd. went there with the specific purpose of forcing the general committee to call the nationwide strike.
 It became known tonight that the Kansas City local of the brotherhood of railway trainmen had telegraph ed national officials of their organiZa- tion asking permission to call a strike of trainmen and yardmen tomorrow. It was reported that the national officers replied in such way as to leave the question entirely open and subject to the decision of local officials.
 The union officials in Chicago from whom the information was obtained stated that so far as they were aware the secret conference in Cleveland had not reached the point where reso- lutlOnS or motions Tor the strike act ually had been presented but that the | discussion concerning it today, ac- cording to their information, was fa- vorable to the project and that the tie up could be expected within three l days. A similar announcement was made late today at the convention of the newly organized labor party here. Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were declared to have been among the cities whose locals were particularly insistcnt that a strike be called in view of recent governmental statements to the effect that general
 advances in the pay of railroad work | CTS could not be considered at this
 time. The fourteen locals of Chicago
 Railwaymen, it was said, had voted
 unanimously in favor of the strike and
 it was added that a resolution asking
 for a strike decision had been sent tC W. c. Lee, president of the Brother
 hood of Railway Trainmen.
 In some union quarters it was stat ed that the real reason why the na- tional officials in Cleveland hesitated to make an announcement of the strike or to be placed in the position Iof. directing the proposed strike cal Twas their fear of strike injunctions
 and that it was their purpose to avail the crisis which was expected from
 action of the rank and file of railway union men.
