Attorney General Ritchie will en-.

SE1OPMEN NOT
SATISFIED WITH
PRESENT WAGES
Declare Intention Not to Strike
But to Use Other Means
to End

Harrisburg shopmen are interest
ed in the nationwide strike. They
are not satisfied with present wage
conditions, but are resorting to
every legitimate effort to bring
about a satisfactory adjustment,
without the necessity for taking a
strike vote.
This was the statement made to-
day by William B. McNair. presi-
dent of Harrisburg Federation ADJ
visory Board, System No. 80, Penn
sylvania lines. His statement was
corroborated by H. A. Bixler. secre-
tary, and treasurer and other local
officials of the shopmen's fedora
ton. Mr. McNair authorized the
following statement:
I'VE most emphatically deny that
the shopmen of this district are sat
isfied with their present rate of pay.
The exorbitant cost of living with
the present rate of pay makes it
almost impossible for many of the
workers to exist let alone live in the
mode OF life befltting every Amer
lean workingman.
'I speak for 95 per cent. of the
shopmen in this district. We mean
to be conservative. honest and
genial in dealing with our super
iors and with that intent in mind
we have in this district decided to
wait until every legitimate means
has been reached. before we ask for
or think of taking a strike vote.
st am proud of the men whom I
represent in taking this decided
stand, but in as far as these men
being satisfied with their present
rate of pay and working conditions.
the statement made this morning, is
absolutely wrong"
While no announcement has been
made regarding conferences be-
tween railroad officials and the
federated representatives, it is un-
derstood that meetings were held
yesterday and a further considera-
tion of the local wage demands by
railroad officials will be taken up
Monday. Local officials have been
in Washington and their return is
awaited.
