WAGE DEMANDS
FROM HIGH COST
Want Increase on Basis
Of Pay Outside R. R.
Plants.

Washington. Aug. 2o.-Early action to
settle unrest in the ranks Of the rail
road employees who have been demanding
new wage increases was forecast to
day.
After a lengthy conference with the
representatives Of the six shop crafts,
Director General Hines went to the
White House to discuss with President
Wilson the problems facing the railroad
administration.
1t was understood that the entire ques-
ton was reviewed, including the obvious
necessity for an increase in rates or
another congressional appropriation to
provide funds for any wage advances
that may be made.
Mr.. Hines promised the shopmen's
leaders he would give careful considera-
ton to all the facts presented and would
endeavor soon to reach final decision,
indicating that he will order into effect
any changes in the wage scale without
referring the demands to a board of in
vestigation. The shopmen's demands
were presented in the spring to the board
of railway wages and working conditions
which took extensive testimony and then
divided evenly for and against d raise.
Delay in acting on the demands event
ua1ly resulted in the recent unauthorized
strikes in many sections Of the country.
May Not Accept Drop Later.
Leaders Of the shopmen, outlining the
reasons for their demands, said that they
did not rest primarily on the increased
cost Of living, altho that was con-
tributing factor, but were based on the
proposition that the wages of railroad
shopmen ought to be more in line with
wages for similar work in other indus
trial lines.
In some quarters this statement was
interpreted to mean that any wage ad-
vance to offset the higher prices Of to-
day. but carrying the intmation that re-
dnctiOns would be in order if prices came
down, would be unacceptable 1t was
claimed by the union officials that the
wages paid railroad shopmcn are mater
ially lower than those paid shopmen in
private industries and in shpyards and
navy yards under government control.
