In question at this time that In

There are approximately 30 bills

Tuesday by the trainmen of the New |
York, New Haven and Hartford, the Bos-
ton and Albany, the Boston and Maine
and other associated railroads, ac-
cording to statement made by union
leaders Tuesday, W L. Lee, grand
president of the brotherhood OF railway
trainmen, will 90 to Washington to con
fer with Director General of Railroads
Hines and demand that the increase
sought by the trainmen be granted at
| once
This demand has been pending since
| the convention at Columbus, O., in
| May, at which time it was voted to de
mand an increase The members of the
/ brotherhood claim that an immediate
strike will be declared in case of a re-
| fusai According to their statement, at
J present all railroad employees with the eX-
! ception of switch tenders and yard EN-
/ ployes receive only straight time for over
time work Switch tenders and yardmen
receive time and a half Formerly the
vote of the entire brotherhood was neces-
sary to authorize a strike but Grand
President w l.. Lee now claims to have
the power to institute such drastic ac-
ton.
In explaining the demands, NJ. p.
Barnes, president of the local trainmen 5
brotherhood, said that the dissatisfaction
Of the men had arisen because OF general
order -. supplement Is, of the United
States railway administration. Not only
does this order specify rate OF pay that
is lower than that which the men believe
to be Just. but it also curtails a number
of their rights This curtailment, said
Mr.. Barnes. is contrary to the govern
ment's agreement on taking over the
roads that they would not alter any ex-
listing privileges. For example, there was
a practice OF using spare men ON extra
: work in the passenger service under the
; old regime. But the government has used
} regular men for this extra work. This
} change has caused great deal ot oppo
sltion among the men.
